Can admins no longer see who deleted a post?

Bug
1

I know the avatar of the person who deleted a post used to show up at the bottom but now I no longer see it. Was this an intentional design choice?

I see what you mean. It is easier to see who deleted the post from the post as opposed to going to the logs.

I don’t think it was an intentional change. The code is still there. I think something broke when the post widgets were updated to Glimmer components.

When I change this to

{{#if @post.deleted_at}}

and also edit line 14

{{formatDate @post.deleted_at format="tiny"}}

I am able to restore most of it.

But I wasn’t able to make the avatar work. Based on

I thought it would be

<UserAvatar @size="tiny" @user={{@post.deleted_by}} />

but that didn’t work.

Jumping in here, thanks for the detailed breakdown, Moin. I tried a similar tweak and ran into the same issue with the avatar not displaying. It looks like @post.deleted_by isn’t getting passed correctly to the component, even though the model has the deleted_by property. Maybe it’s not being included in the post serializer or not tracked correctly through the Glimmer component layer?

Might be worth checking if deleted_by is exposed in the API response for the post. If not, that could explain why UserAvatar isn’t getting any user data. Just a thought. Curious if anyone’s found a full fix.

What did you try?

Great idea! Would you do that and share the result?

Thank you for the detailed report.

It is indeed a small bug introduced with the Glimmer components.

I’ll fix it as soon as possible.
