No option to edit or delete a forum post.

If you have questions about using mojoPortal, you can post them here.

No option to edit or delete a forum post.

I've just upgraded to the most recent version - 2.3.8.1 - and I can't see an option to delete or edit posts any more. Maybe there never was???

On top of that, I've been getting more spam than ever.  That's why I was trying to delete posts. 

So - two questions:

1. Is there a simple way to delete a post when I see it's spam?

2. What's the best anti-spam selection (currently using RecaptchaCaptcha

Thanks.

Re: No option to edit or delete a forum post.

Hi,

If you are logged in as a user with edit permissions on the forum page you should be able to edit or delete any post or thread, you should see a pencil icon next to the post or thread. If you don't see it I would investigate with Firebug to see if it is failing to load the image or is blocked somehow by CSS.

In a recent version we did add a setting to limit the amount of time that a user can edit their own posts, it defaults to one hour but is configurable from settings of the forum.

Recaptcha is still the best captcha available but it can be broken or spam my come from real users entering it. I generally advise don't allow anonymous posting.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: No option to edit or delete a forum post.

Something is definitely up.

I noticed some differences in the look after the upgrade, like the standard file manager comes up corrupted and I had to switch to the alternate one. But coincidentally I set up a new domain and new site using MojoPortal redirection.  This turned up HEAPS of differences.

The new site looks and works differently - keeping in mind they are running on the same server, same software just different domains/sites.  By different, the new site has the admin menu to the top right while on the existing domain it still has images at the top of the form instead.

I downloaded Firebug and the new one doesn't get any errors, while the upgraded site does.

On the existing domain there are several jquery errors.

I thought that the issues might be due to the skin on the existing domain so I tried to change the skin and it won't allow me to.  I tried it on the new domain and it did allow me to.

So somehow after the upgrade an existing site has some legacy code that isn't transferred to new sites.

??? any ideas ??? 

The addresses (if you want to firebug it yourself) are:

www.prlsoftware.com (existing domain)

www.exceptiontracker.com (new domain)

I'm happy to do any other research into this to help get this one resolved.

From what version you make the upgrade?, did you read the https://www.mojoportal.com/important-skin-changes maybe you need to upgrade your skin

Yep  - fixed.  I had to download the skins and re-apply them (with minor modification).

Thanks a gain - I'll look out for that next time I upgrade.
