Hi there,

Kindly find my response for your inquiries below:

How to I unpin a pinned item in the activity stream?

Click on the arrow down and click 'unpin this item' http://take.ms/BTraM

Is it possible to delete an user posted item from the stream?

Yes, but you need have the permission to delete other user where you can set it in:
profile types>choose profile type>acl : http://take.ms/d6f1K

Hi Fadhli,

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear on my question. I meant how do I unpin and delete as an administrator not as an user.

Hi Walter,

For admin it always can delete and unpin. May I know which administrator user cannot delete/unpin? so that we can trace the issue?

user: kendall1

I can delete an item but not unpin it.

Is an Admin able to do it from the backend?

Thanks Fadhli

As a matter of fact, I don't think any superuser can unpin

Hi Walter,

I've misunderstand you here, for unpin only owner can unpin back the pinned stream and it is not possible to unpin from the backend

I consider this a flaw, an administrator is allowed to delete but not to unpin?

I cannot go after each person that pinned an item and ask them to please unpin it.

For example, the attached screen capture is from a pinned item, a workshop that already happened last Saturday and it does not make any sense keeping it on top of other posts.

What about a feature that would allow items to be unpinned based on a future date?

But, still, I believe an administrator should be able to unpin.

Thank you

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Let me try explain the current default behaviour regarding this :

If that is normal registered user, when they pinned their stream item, it will show this pinned stream item on their profile page, mean this pinned item will always show at the top on their profile page.

If that is Superadmin pinned those stream item on the site, it will always show at the top on dashboard page and everyone who registered on your site, they can able to see this pinned stream item on the dashboard page.

Most of the cases, if that is Superadmin pinned stream item on the site, mean other Superadmin should be agree with him to do that, if this Superadmin always pinned those weird stream item on the site for personal purpose, i think you should take action and give him some warning regarding this.

Imagine if we allow all the site Superadmin to have this permission to unpin other Superadmin pinned stream item, it will become out of control.

Regarding with your case, this 'Robert Sullivan' is one of your site Superadmin, if this user doesn't moderate on the site, i would suggest you remove this user superadmin privileges.

If you still want all the superadmin to have this permission, then you have to modify the core file in order to achieve this.

JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/stream/item.php

You can refer on my attached screenshot which line of code you have to inject this following code.

			if ($this->my->isSiteAdmin()) {

				return true;

			}
