Students can no longer delete their own posts #34

Hi,

We have updated the version of the forumNG plugin that we use to 2014073000, and are have noticed that students no longer have a button to enable them to delete their own posts. Having looked at our Moodle logs, we can see instances where students have been deleting posts in the past, so this seems to have been a feature before.

Best wishes, Mark.

Student deleting of posts can only occur within a time limit after posting. This is set by $CFG->maxeditingtime.

This shouldn't have changed in any way in the latest 2.6 version.

Thanks for the information. Re-looking at the issue, it appears that students can delete a reply for a period of time after posting, but there seems to be no option as a student to delete a new discussion that they have initiated, screen shot of available options attached... screen shot 2014-10-03 at 09 49 33

Deleting a discussion requires a separate capability and it is not time-bound.

Agree that it is not quite consistent that you can delete a reply, but not a new discussion as a student.

I will discuss with the product owner to see if this is functionality we would want to enable.

OK, thanks

Reopening issue as we have agreed to do this development with the product owner. No agreed time-scale however...
