Hi,

I would like to let users erase their messages on groups. It is for exchanging stuff or sale like garage sales. But they want to be able to remove their message so people wont ask them.

I can do it as an administrator but members can't. See attach file for the image

Thanks
Hello all,

Regarding the issue where owner cannot delete their own stream item for groups, attached the proper fix to address this issue. Please download the stream.zip file and extract the file you should see two folder, 'includes' and 'controllers'.

1. Copy the file from 'includes/stream.php' into 'JOOMLA/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/stream/' and replace the existing stream.php file.

2. Copy the file from 'controllers/stream.php' into 'JOOMLA/components/com_easysocial/controllers/' and replace the existing stream.php file.

The stream deletion should work correctly
Again, if the user is not a group admin, then you will need to configure the profile type -> access -> stream and to allow stream delete

Let me know if you guys still having issue deleting group stream items

Hope this help and have a nice day
Sam

Great observation, I completely agree with this. The user technically owns the post, so they should have the right to remove their posts they make on group walls.

Hello Lili,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.
Can you try apply this temporary fix in the following code from this file -> JoomlaFolder\components\com_easysocial\themes\wireframe\stream\default.item.php


//LINE 93

				<?php if($stream->deleteable) { ?>



//Replace with

				<?php if((FD::user()->getAccess()->allowed('stream.delete', false)) && (FD::user()->id == $stream->actor->id) || FD::user()->isSiteAdmin()) { ?>

And make sure that you have enable this option Allow delete single stream item - YES (Check my screenshot below.)
By the way, I will consult with our developer and see how it goes?

The delete option appeared after adding that mod, but it does not delete. This is what it shows after hitting delete:



Perhaps I changed the code wrong?
