cilia this could definitely be added. This was a sponsored extension, the set of features was defined by the client's needs.

clarkwinkelmann

Version 1.1.0

Add ability to make content anonymous by default
"Use" permission has now become "Switch" permission
Add ability to specify default checkbox state for users with "Switch" permission
Add setting to make edits by moderators anonymous

Users updating from 1.0 don't need to change any setting to preserve their previous behavior as it is the default for version 1.1

clarkwinkelmann Any plans to name anonymous users differently in a single discussion? thanks for the great work again!

KarlReza1

Any plans to integrate with turnstile extension? That would take care of preventing guest spam.

clarkwinkelmann

KarlReza1 this extension does not allow guests to post. Users still need to go through registration which can be protected.

I think even the FriendsOfFlarum Recaptcha feature to verify user before each post and discussion will work with this extension, but I haven't tested.

clarkwinkelmann

Version 1.1.1

Fix deprecation warning being generated when using extension on PHP 8.1+

lichengkun135 I don't have any free update planned for this extension, however this could be a sponsored feature. Feel free to contact me directly to discuss.

FBI can you share more details? I don't understand which button/icon you are referring to?

fisher762 this is a known behavior. See README:

clarkwinkelmann Some Flarum notification templates are not able to handle posts without authors and will throw PHP warnings while trying to access properties of null objects.
If you hide PHP warnings output in php.ini most notifications should continue to send fine without errors and will just show the raw translation placeholder where a display name is supposed to be.

Disabling this extension fixes the issues. Ref.

clarkwinkelmann

SKevo I'm going to blame those other extensions for not handling $post->user being null, which is a legit Flarum signature. Not much I could do from my side anyway except use Composer class override to replace the code in those other extensions, which in turn would mean I would need to keep updating my extension every time they make a change or it would lead to unexpected behavior. So best to fix it directly in those extensions.

blomstra/flarum-ext-spam-preventionblob/3fc60273d5d2e5fb141ebe55344bde50b6aab7a3/src/Filters/CommentPost.php#L30

flarum/frameworkblob/2b56129d70d18686a73d044ff65b418eef83f388/extensions/approval/src/Listener/UpdateDiscussionAfterPostApproval.php#L29

Interestingly, the Flarum code in that same listener checks if the user exists before running refreshCommentCount on discussion and post owner, but not for refreshDiscussionCount.

luceos

clarkwinkelmann I read the issue on the FF community, will update spam prevention with improved code now.

Edit, never mind seems I already made the necessary change in February, but somehow never tagged a release:

sdgsdgsd

Repost: "Anonymous posting: it doesn't work right, when a user try to create a post it gives "Oops!" error and create multiple posts, in the post preview the user isn't called "anonymous" but "deleted", someone should warn about this or update the extension
I would like seeing it works because so many users in my site use it.".
P.S: Anonymous posts will not show a Synopsis summary.

clarkwinkelmann

sdgsdgsd please follow the troubleshooting guide to retrieve the error message for the "Oops" error https://docs.flarum.org/troubleshoot it's very likely a misconfiguration of your PHP deprecation warnings output or an email server error.

For the username in previews, I'm not sure if this was implemented or not, I'll need to try the extension again. I don't use it regularly. Maybe you can share a screenshot so I can be sure what to look at?

For synopsis I don't remember testing the 2 extensions together. There's likely some logic in synopsis that ignores posts without author, or possibly there's an error if it assumes a user will be associated with every post.

sdgsdgsd

clarkwinkelmann The "Oops!" error appears only for posts made with this extension.
Here's a screenshot of what i mean by "in the post preview" https://ibb.co/Gsd7zwp. I know the thing about synopsis, but it would be nice to have it working also for the posts made with this extension.

clarkwinkelmann

sdgsdgsd The "Oops!" error appears only for posts made with this extension.

I still need the error message from the logs, please 🙂

sdgsdgsd

clarkwinkelmann english isn't my motherlanguage. I'll send you the log soon

sdgsdgsd

Maybe it's just a problem on my side and not for everyone? I mean, it looks like i'm the only who's facing this, i would like know if someone else is facing this too

clarkwinkelmann

sdgsdgsd I am almost certain your problem will be the one I described earlier, the PHP warnings and deprecation output. It will be obvious once you get the log file. The extension throwing PHP warnings is described in the README.

There's no point discussing the symptoms without the error message, it could be absolutely anything.
