Awaiting More Details Users can't edit comments

[Greenandgold]

Users are unable to edit their own comments even though I've set permissions correctly.

What do you mean by unable?

Do they see the edit button? I don't know, because you don't mention that important piece of information.

If the edit button is not displayed, the the permissions check function has determined that the viewing user can not edit it. Individual permissions don't mean Jack. In this case, there are several things that come into play besides a single permission, so telling me permission are set correctly does mean anything as that is not the only thing that comes into play.

Do they see the edit button and it takes them to the edit form, but won't let them save ? I don't know, because you don't mention that.

Also.. the edit comments function hasn't changed in 15 years and is borrowed code from XFMG comments.

Please update your report and include all fine details so that I can fully understand what is going on. Also, ensure any testing is done on an unedited core xf default style to rule out issues with 3rd party styles.

They are unable to see the edit button. Surely this wouldn't be down to the style I have?

They have the edit own comments permission under AMS article comment permissions

They are unable to see the edit button.

Then the permission check Function is returning FALSE... if I had to guess, its the time limit permission.

That is not the only permission involved. There is a Time limit on editing/deleting own comments permissions.



Use the permissions check analyzer on one of the specific users. It will tell you what the final values are for BOTH of those permissions.

This works the same as Posts in a Thread that have a time limit permission.

Also, double check Category Permissions. AMS has a Category Permissions Analyzer, just like XF has a Node Permissions Analyzer.

Ahhh that's fixed it
