How can i edit this function in extend

Zedd

can someone tell me how can i edit this function in extend.php?
i tried edit it in core file...

From this: https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/fd371c1203439810af8f6814cdff402faebf4126/src/Post/PostPolicy.php#L139-L142

to this:

public function hide(User $actor, Post $post)
{
    if ($actor->isAdmin()) {
        return $this->edit($actor, $post);
    }
}

Zedd Because false takes priority over true when evaluating policies, all you need to do is add a new policy that disallows hiding posts where you would like to do so.

I was looking for a way to override this policy in an easy way, but it seems the Policy extender does not allow replacement of core Policies (yet). A more advanced solution would be to (temporarily) replace the core class using a composer hack, fof/nightmode does something similar here:

In composer.json:

https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/nightmode/blob/1edecd4f793fc8802f26e4d75e9893c1b8989036/composer.json#L60

In Assets.php re-uses core namespace declaration, see:

https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/nightmode/blob/1edecd4f793fc8802f26e4d75e9893c1b8989036/src/Overrides/Frontend/Assets.php#L12

Anything in this file will then be used. Understand that multiple extensions doing this will cause unclear results and getting a better solution into core would be far more beneficial.

Hope this helps.

luceos thank you so much 😃

askvortsov 🤦 so easy. So one would need to edit the extend.php in the root of the Flarum install directory to add a new Policy class for the Post model?
