Looks like a good idea, I think this is something we should add and can be added to the next minor version.

[rdeutz]

one addition: maybe better to solve this in the PublishedButton class. Then you only have to fix it one time and not in all views. Could be something like "Published but category unpublished or trashed"

[brianteeman]

@rdeutz That was my first thought but then it gets complicated by workflows

[brianteeman]

@rdeutz took another look but I dont see how to do it in the class as it is not aware of the category

[brianteeman]

@rdeutz do you have any pointers as to how to solve it in the PublishedButton. If not I will continue with this approach.

[rdeutz]

I looked at the class and (beside Workflow, I don't see how this effects the buttom but maybe I missed something) it should be doable. I will check over the weekend and let you know.

[brianteeman]

@rdeutz thanks

as even your code requires a chang in the view I decided to combin the two

I really like this PR, but it will not make it in 4.1, but for sure in 4.2!

Thanks for the improvement.

[bembelimen]

JFYI: the "too much files" will be fixed on Tuesday, then there will be the next upmerge from 4.1 (which is already in your branch) after the relese of J! 4.2 Alpha 2. Then we're back to normal (no additional human tests needed).

[brianteeman]

No problem
