PROBLEM: In 070618-1 or earlier (since 070501?), in both the basic and advanced interfaces, when publishing an article, an anonymous user ("guest") is given an option "Select focus that this resource will be related to". If s/he does choose a focus, then that focus is ignored at the preview stage and in turn after confirmation.
DISCUSSION:
This is likely to be frustrating to anonymous users. Either we could choose to allow anonymous users to choose one focus when publishing (without allowing them to add new foci), or we should not give them a select box for choosing a focus.
i don't have a strong feeling one way or the other. However, since config.yaml says, "Guests are never allowed to vote." we should be consistent with this - either change this comment or else hide the select box. For simplicity, i chose the latter.
PROPOSED FIX (vs 070618-1):
The proposed fix is in application_helper, to not propose a
focus selection to a guest user.
