Allow editing own unreplied-to comments even without permission

As it says under Permissions information:

Note that users need

• the post comments and (probably) post comments without approval permission AND Post to be able to post comments/replies;

Also, Edit is 'edit', not 'edit own.'

Everything is working as designed and documented.

Yes, #1 would be a bug — I'll look into it.

#2 is a feature request, but so far it hasn't found overwhelming support.

I'm at DrupalCon right now, give me some more time...

Thanks for informing me it is a BUG. I went crazy trying to figure what was wrong with my site.

Indeed, I find that the [Delete] button is visible, even though the user only has Edit rights. However, it doesn't actually work: I get an Access Denied message, when I click on it. IOW, this is a cosmetic issue, but it still needs to be fixed, of course.

Hello,

I also would appreciate to keep "edit own comment" permission working with forum access.

Is the edit own comment permission not working?

I'm under the impression that the OP was referring to Drupal always allowing to edit your own comment as long as no one had replied to it, irrespective of the edit own comment permission. I haven't actually verified yet that Drupal (without FA) really does behave that way.

I've corrected the title, since this is not about a permission at all.

@flebas: if you really mean "permission", then please open a new thread.

I've just committed a fix that removes the unusable [Delete] button (among other things). Give it up to 12h to be repackaged.

This removes the bug part of this issue. What remains is a feature request — I'm still working on clarifying the title...

(Having more than one issue in a single issue thread is a pain!)

#597616: Edit link not displayed on own comments made me realize that it's a bug after all.

Committed to 6.x-1.x-dev — give it up to 12 hours to be repackaged, and let us know how it works.

I know this is an old thread, but I am now struggling with the same problem.

Drupal Core behaviour is to allow Users to edit a comment until someone makes a comment on that comment. I have tested this. This is sensible behaviour. Users often want to correct a typo or re-phrase something and this allows them to if they are quick. Preventing editing once a further comment has been made is also sensible as editing a comment that others have already commented on could make it impossible to follow a thread.

FA over-rides this core behaviour without replacing it with an alternative so it is impossible for users to edit their own comments. I have many users complaining about this and I can't put it right.

Actually, the ability to edit is not removed - it's the link that disappears. If you edit the URL to /comment/edit/xxx where xxx is the comment id, the edit page comes up.

Content Access deals with this question by having 'edit own posts' and 'delete own posts' as well as 'edit all posts' and 'delete all posts'. It would solve the problem if you added these extra options.

P.S. This is an edit made by clicking the edit button at the bottom of my post. It will remain there until someone replies - then it will go.

Sorry salvis. I've just discovered you have answered this here:

I will try the dev version.
