XF 2.0 Edit Conversation permission??

[V3NTUS]

Hi everyone,

I wonder the reason for such conditional: $conversation.canEdit() if we have no way to set this permission.

I'm trying to give Admins the possibility to edit/lock a conversation, regardless of the sender's but I find it to be impossible as there's no permission for it.

Any ideas?

Thank you


PS: I apologize if this isn't the proper section for it, but I personally see it as a missing core feature, hence I reported it as bug.

Thanks for your reply S Thomas, unfortunately it's not exactly what I mean. The "canEdit" permission enables the possibility for a user to edit the Conversation, not just the message content.

Take a look:

IIRC that's the moderator permission from the second image in my post. So it's only available to mods.

Being an admin I still can't edit private conversations, so I think it still refers only to editing others' conversation messages, and not conversation settings

Thanks again for your kind reply though.

Being an admin does not grant you moderator privileges. You need to grant yourself mod / smod permissions.

I hope it's clear this way.

That's odd. Check your permissions with the permission analyzer. If I had to guess I would say you have set the permissions to "never" in one of your user groups.

I'm also group of the "Registered" group, where the permission is set to "No".

Also, from the Permission Analyzer:

"No" is fine, that can be overriden and the analyzer shows indeed that you have sufficent permissions. I'm out of luck, though, at this point someone else needs to help you. Only advice I could give would be to try that out with all addons disabled in the default style.
Actually, one more thing - are you a moderator (in the moderator group)? The edit permission don't promote you to a mod.

I had only "Display user as staff" checked, but not the Moderator group, so I decided to try it and... (now I was supposed to give good news)
...
...
nothing changed (sorry, I would have loved to say it fixed the issue!).

Thanks again S Thomas, you're very kind to take care of my problem.

I think the permission you shown in the screenshot is only meant to allow people to edit the conversation content, as I initially thought.
