I would like to let users bump topic with a help of a button “Bump topic” as long as topic is not closed or archived. I’m almost there but stumbeled upon TopicController’s update method … more specifically upon guardian.ensure_can_edit!(topic) inside the update method. It prevents user from changin…

Wait, I am unclear, can you explain exactly what you are trying to achieve here?

Because in general I would like indeed topic to be closed for editing… in this case it’s a category where people sell their old/used stuff. In the beginning people should be able to edit their posts as we have certain rules they should follow (photos, necessary information etc). After some time it’s…

Still not following, Do you want to give end users the ability to “bump” topics and have them show up first in latest, but only once in 48 hours, without forcing them to post on the topic? Are you trying to lift editing limit temporarily from a topic? Keep in mind once there is more than on…

Thanks! How did adding the button work out for you, in your community? I think for most sites it would be annoying, but can see the benefit for a Q&A site where people are waiting for an answer but don’t want to clutter the topic with meaningless metoo posts. This could be implemented now as a them…

This was actually created to accompany my buy/sell/exchange plugin… plugin which added said buttons to topics and in order users wouldn’t “spam” trading category with “up” posts (which were not allowed btw… we had rules and moderators). So when you wanted to sell something you created your topic, an…
