Item2247: PublishPlugin installation guide needs update for access controlled pub-dir

We´re using the "attachment access via view-script" method

# from apache.conf
RewriteRule ^/+foswiki/+pub/+(.*)$  /foswiki/bin/viewfile/$1 [L,PT]

to apply the rights-management to the pub-dir (attachments), too.

Installing PublishPlugin requires some extra work (otherwise you don´t have the right to see the output), which would be good to be added to the PublishPlugin-Topic.

1. Create a hidden web (not in sitemap, don´t search, template _default) named Publish
2. Make this web public readable (via Publish.WebPrefereces; Allow/DenyTopicView)
3. Create Topic PublishPluginOutput in this web.
4. Change PublishPlubin Settings (dir and url) in the Wiki-Config (bin/configure) to point to this topic.

Excellent idea.
