How to edit a published Article? #435

Closed Francewhoa closed 1 year ago

Francewhoa commented 1 year ago

Challenge

About https://bastyon.com I wrote an Article. Published it. Was able to edit it. Then a few days later, when I tried to edit this published Article, its Edit Post button is not display. How do I edit this published Article?

Below is the same question as above. But with details if you're interested in those.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Go to https://bastyon.com/index

  2. Using the What's new? group, click on this To write an article link to_write_an_article---screenshot---francewhoa---ksnip---2022-10-09---192403

  3. The New Longread window will open. Fill the form. Publish it.

  4. Click on this Edit Post to do any change to your Article. This is successful. As you're able to edit your article. Edit_Post---screenshot---francewhoa---ksnip---2022-10-09---174618

  5. Wait a few days

  6. Try to edit your article. Somehow, this Edit Post button is gone. This is the challenge. bouton_gone---screenshot---francewhoa---ksnip---2022-10-09---175029

  7. How do I edit this published Article again? The needed end result is that users need to be able to edit their Article at any time. Using the same Edit Post button. The number 2 in the screenshot above shows the expected location of this button.

This is an example of an article I wrote today, October 9th, 2022. Presently, I can still edit it. But somehow, within the next 5 days, I will not be able to edit it at https://bastyon.com/francewhoa?s=66e32a753d531a573efa212171fce77ff5570927e1ac8684402f4a9e92abe47a&mpost=true

Link to another of my article I wrote on October 4th, 2022. But somehow, today Oct 9th, 2022 I am not able to edit it. I need to edit at https://bastyon.com/francewhoa?s=fb84354526d3a0f94b8703ac5ba9de4b85c835fdd355d8b6b90081f92e961e54&mpost=true

Link to my other test article I created. Which I'm presently able to edit at https://bastyon.com/francewhoa?s=841b9e3105d19763db212a23d3132cf9dfaf09e3050014b3549c30c6bdfb6a42&mpost=true

User Story

If somehow this challenge above is by design, I suggest the new feature/new User Story at https://github.com/pocketnetteam/pocketnet.core/issues/436

I was able to reproduce this challenge twice. With 2 new Articles. Roughly two days after I published these, their Edit Post button is no longer display.

In comparison, for all my comments, their Edit Comment button are always visible. Regardless of theses comments publication date.

Hello @Francewhoa, First of all, I want to express my gratitude for your activity and feedback. Unfortunately, the developers are now overloaded and cannot respond more quickly.

Regarding your question, there is a restriction for editing content, which is due to prevent situations when positive content is created, gaining popularity, and after a while the content of the content changes. This can be used in various "harmful" scenarios.
