Hey guys,
just realized that ordinary group members cannot upload files from within a group discussion. Only admins are displayed the upload button.
Is this a bug or missing feature? For discussions it does not make any sense if only admins can share documents.
I add a screenshot showing how things look for ordinary group members. As you can see, there is no upload button available within the discussion.
Please check !!!
HI, Randolph.
Thank you for contacting us.
Please, make sure that you enabled sharing in backend group settings:

Then check if in frontend group settings it's allowed too:

Finally check if it's allowed in Discussion:

I enabled all options, but still no button. However, another explanation might be that the founder of the discussion didn't check the upload option. If so, is there a possibility for group / system admins override this option. For example in cases where discussion founders simply forgot to tick the box?

Hi, Randolph.
Yes, SU may always edit other users groups or discussions.
Please, edit that discussions and log in as regular user - needs to be that particular group member.
I entered the group as superadmin, and activated the check-box (Allow members to upload files). Then saved it. However, the change had no effect. The upload button still remains invisible to group members.
Seems the changes have not been saved. When re-entering the group (as superadmin) the state of the checkbox has returned to "unchecked".
Sorry, not solved.
Hi Randolph,
weird, maybe this is cache issue?
Please provide me backend and FTP access on private form.
note : please always provide us backend and FTP access everytime you create new topic for making the support easier :)
thank you
Hi,
Thank you the FTP access is working, but I also need backend access, would you mind provide it please?
thank you!
Hi Dimas,
thanks a lot for your support. In some cases I renamed and kept older file versions. Usually when jomsocial moderators advised me to make changes to a certain file in order to overcome a problem.
Best
Randolph
Hi Randolph,
May I closed this? seems everything is fine now ?
thank you!
Dear Dimas,
I checked this and now encounter a new issue. When entering the group as superadmin and from within a discussion try to change the file upload setting (for example in cases where the founder of the discussion has forgotten to check the box) I can't do anything because there's no more checkbox. The checkbox for file uploads has been gone. See attachment.
Hi,
Well, this issue caused by bootstrapt conflict for fixing this I modify this template file groups.editdiscussion.php and add display style inside this code
<label for="filepermission-member" style="display: block">
