forum user/profile deletion
Using Jamroom
blindmime:Are forum posts associated with user or profile?
They are associated with both - every item created in a JR DataStore has both a _user_id and _profile_id value.
Quote:I had a user sign up and post something to the forum. I replied to their post.
I had created a profile for them prior to them creating an account, so I assigned that profile to their new user account and deleted the profile created when they signed up.
When I did that their forum post was deleted.
When you delete a profile, items created as part of that profile will be deleted (part of the profile delete routine is to go through all DataStores and delete items that were created by that profile).

In the forum index list, it shows their is one topic in the category where we posted. But when I click on that category it says there are no topics.
The datastore shows my reply post, but their initial post is not there.
Hope that makes sense.
I would think forum posts are user-based, but this behavior seems odd if so.
thanks
Yeah that is correct for how it works right now. If you don't want a profile's data to be gone, don't delete the profile.
Hope this helps!
