There is a problem.
The admins are one group and the registered users too. The admins are not part of the registered usergroup.
So the settings for your addon are set like this:
However also posts from admins are merged even after 1 minute after posting the previous post. Basically I just want to disable this feature for admins.
- Registered users: Allow double posts (=not merging) after 30 minutes and display double-posted ones after 30 minutes
- Admins: Allow double posts (=not merging) after 1 minute (I'd like to disable it but doesn't work too) and display double-posted ones after 1 minutes
Doesn't this have to do with the original issue that permissions are dependent? Meaning, if your registered group =30 and admin =1 then the result is =30. That's how permissions work. This addon works opposite of that in our heads but that doens't work in XF, so you have to use the workaround
Okay, thanks for the link. (I will have a look at the workaround) This depended permissions are really not that nice and it seems they are even depended if the admins are not part of the registered users group.
Maybe it would be better to have a "not set" as it's done in other permission to indicate that they should be depended and if a value is set this should override other values.
All of that is only applicable if you use a version below 1.3.0
We highly recommend to UPGRADE to version 1.3.0 if you use this add-on.
The permission system was changed in version 1.3.0.
