Hello,
We have recently finished upgrading a website from Easyblog 3.9.24862 to 5.0.36 and everything generally seems to have gone fine. We are however having two issues we can't resolve.
1. This is only regarding the Front-end, since Publishers aren't allowed in the Back-end admin page.
When assigning a Joomla User as a "Publisher" - they are unable to "Delete" comments. They get a "You do not have permissions to delete this comment."
If the user is an Super User, then it can be deleted fine. We are using the Easyblog built-in comment system.
Some specifics we have confirmed:
- Easyblog ACL for Publisher has "Allowed to delete blog's comments" and "Allowed to edit blog's comments" set to "Yes" (The whole "Managing" and "Moderation" tabs are all set to "Yes" - The rest of ACL matches except for minor differences in unrelated sections)
- Joomla Permission for Publisher are default. It has "Delete" set to "Not allowed" however changing to Allowed did not resolve issue. I assume this applies only to native Joomla Articles and such.
- All posts have Author assigned to the user having issues (only author/blog user for entire site)
- No specific permissions or Post Options settings set on any categories
- No site registration, all comments posted as "Guest" (Public)
Not sure what else to check since the settings we found seem to be set properly.
2. Unable to Edit comments - error: "Please enter your e-mail address in the form below"
This seems relatively simple but we don't have "Show Email Field" or "Require Email Field" set for comments. This makes it so when editing, the field is blank for all of them. We can always fill in a fake email but I think it would be much more practical if the setting during "Edit" followed the Easyblog setting to not require emails.
- confirmed in "EasyBlog Settings" in the "Comments" section, under "General" tab, the "Comment Form" has both "Show E-mail Field" and "Require E-Mail" set to "No"
Can't seem to get around this one - would like to not have to put in a fake email.
Thank you for the support.
