Hi Altitudes... Please take a look (and vote!) here... http://stackideas.com/voices/easysocial/item/1069

It also includes a link (in the comments) to the hack that StackIdeas team gave me to allow posting on the timeline for all logged in... just a slight variation I'm guessing could change this to just the SuperAdmin.

I think it's a big issue and hope we'll see the hack provided already incorporated into the core code once the current priority of EasyDiscuss is out the way for the team :-)

Hello Andy,

Thanks for sharing it here.

Hello

Andy's feature request is quite different from my issue (even if somehow related). Can you please reply to my issue precisely?

Thank you

Hello Altitudes,

I'm sorry for the confusion. Please replace the attached file in: ../components/com_easysocial/views/events/view.html.php and see how it goes.

Hello

I reviewed you code modification, and you are checking if the user is the creator of the event, whereas you should test if he is a administrator of the event...

Hello,

Can you try again with the attached file?

Unfortunately, this is not working

Despite I am connected with a user account who is an administrator of the event, I cannot see the status box to post some message in the event.

Hello Altitudes,

Can you specify which group that can be used to replicate this on your site? I want to directly tweak this on your end.

Any group...

The scenario is:
1- Make yourself (user1) an administrator of the group.
2- With another account (user2), create an event in the group. User1 will be automatically made administrator of the event.
3- With user1, try to post in the event. You can't, despite you are an administrator of the event.

User1 and user2 need to be "normal" users, not administrators of the site. And have the Profile Type "Adhérent" or "Découverte" (as "Visiteur" is an ESAD Profile Type).

Hello,

Please replace the attached file in:
../administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/event/event.php
../components/com_easysocial/views/events/view.html.php
and see how it goes.

Still not working

Hello Altitudes,

I want to replicate this on your site since my local is working after applied the tweak. In order to do that, I need your help to provide us the information such as:
- User1 and User2 access details
- Name of that particular group
- Name of the event

We really want to help you to solve this as fast as possible.

OK, sorry.

Event "test admin" in group "Altitudes Paris" can be used to test. User1 "Altitudes" is an admin of the event (and of the group). Event was created by user2 "Nathanaël".

User1 "Altitudes" cannot post in the event. You can change this user password if you want to test.

Please download the attached file and upload it into /components/com_easysocial/views/events/ . I have just tested this locally and as a normal user and as long as the user is the group admin, they will be able to post updates on the event of a group.

Hello

Unfortunately it does not work.

In this same file view.html.php I tried the following which works perfectly (and is exactly what I was expecting ):

Replace

        // Only allow users with access to post into this event

        if ($guest->isGuest() || $this->my->isSiteAdmin()) {

            $stream->story = $story;

        }

by

        // Only allow users with access to post into this event

        if ($guest->isGuest() || $this->my->isSiteAdmin() || $event->isAdmin()) {

            $stream->story = $story;

        }

I tested the codes locally and it does work as long as the user is a group admin. Is the user a group admin?

Yes, I tried with both group owner and an administrator of the group, e.g. (on my dev site) Altitudes and Foxies users for group "Altitudes Paris" and event "Test Admin".

Honestly, since group owner and admins are automatically made administrator of an event created in the group, my vote goes to the code modification I suggested

Hm, yeah you are right will apply a similar change internally

Hello

This probably is my fault, but there is an mistake in the modification you introduced in components/com_easysocial/views/events/view.html.php after we had this discussion. I think the following correction should now be done:

Replace

        // Only allow users with access to post into this event

        if ($event->isAdmin() || $guest->isGuest() || $this->my->isSiteAdmin()) {

            $stream->story = $story;

        }

by

        // Only allow users with access to post into this event

        if ($guest->isAdmin() || $guest->isGuest() || $this->my->isSiteAdmin()) {

            $stream->story = $story;

        }

Thanks

$event->isAdmin() is a shorthand for $guest->isAdmin() and I don't see why this is a problem?

Yes you're right, I was misled in my tests while trying to find an explanation to the following issue:

When an event admin goes to the event page, on my site he gets the event details first. If he clicks the "Timeline" menu, then the status box is no available. He needs to reload the page before the status box is available.

I let you investigate this to find the right explanation

Okay, I get what you mean now Will add this fix in the next release of EasySocial. I will lock this thread for now to avoid confusions in the future since this thread is getting really lengthy.
