Roadmap: v11 (custom) |
| Handling member | PDStig |
| Version | 11 alpha3 |
| Addon | content_reviews |
| Description | You cannot delete items in periodic content reviews because the code in content_reviews2.php is invalid.
This code was based on v10 where low/mid/high range content was explicitly defined in content meta aware hooks. That is no longer the case for v11, and the code is trying to do something invalid. |
| Steps to reproduce | Enable periodic content reviews on a piece of content (specifically a catalogue entry) and set the action to delete. View as a moderator and not as admin. |
| Additional information | This issue is too complex to resolve for me; it looks like we'd have to find privilege overrides by extracting functions from the modules. I could be wrong but I see no easy way to resolve this right now. |
| Funded? | No |

After doing some investigation and checking with AI to help diagnose the bug, I think I found a solution path. Instead of checking on the privilege (which we cannot do anymore), we should be using the CRUD permission module's "may_delete_this" function instead. I am modifying it to allow a null content ID for when we are adding a new piece of content to see if it could be later deleted by the member.
I am also adding a new function which, when given the name of a permission module, will try to find it (since some are CMS modules, others are Admin Zone ones, etc).
EDIT: Actually this might not work for cns_* modules. Investigating, most calls to make periodic content fields come from modules, so we could just put a parameter whether to include a delete option based on a direct call from the module's may_delete_this. Will need to work out chat and member settings though as these are not called directly from their modules.
