ActsAsPremoderatable
====================

This act gives an Active Record model the ability to act as a premoderatable document.

It depends on Max Lapshin's acts_as_state_machine ()

You need to create the status column (by default it's a 'status'), where status of your document will store.

Statuses
========
You have five statuses: :deleted, :draft, :pending, :declined, :approved.
The initial status is :draft

Scopes
======
Several named scopes are defined by this plugin:

:not_deleted
:published
:unpublished
:recent

And one for each status:  
  
:deleted
:draft
:pending
:declined
:approved

Callbacks
=========

You can hook to defined callbacks:

:after_publish, :after_unpublish, :after_acts_as_publishable

InstanceMethods
===============

You have all methods provided by acts_as_state_machine, like approve!, approved?, delete!, deleted? and so on...

And some defined by this plugin:

is_published and is_published? (here published is a synonym to :approved status)

publish!(user) and unpublish!(user)

These methods have an argument of something like a user. You need to pass here a person who publishes
this document. So according to status and self.can_approve?(user) or self.can_decline?(user) (which you should define by yourself)
new status will apply.


Example
=======

class Look < ActiveRecord::Base
	acts_as_premoderatable
	
	#methods for acts_as_premoderatable
	def can_approve?(user)
    user.editor?
  end

  def can_decline?(user)
    user.editor?
  end
