Erasing a user erases messages

Erasing a user erases messages was created by userbk
I just installed GroupJive 2.3 RC2.
First of all - wow. Amazing work!

I am having a serious issue.
I have users join a group - Works perfectly well
When I delete a user, it also deletes a comment or few from the wall. Not the user's who I just deleted either.

For example:
I am the owner of the group. I post a comment: "Hello".
I then invite a friend. He joins and posts "Hello Hello!"

I delete him from the member list and my comment is gone.

Also, I had another experience. I had three users on a group.
I had a post that user 1 replied to and so did user 2.
Above it user 1 added a comment by himself.

When I erased both users ALL comments were gone.

Any idea what causes it?

EDIT: This also happens when a user leaves the group. many messages get erased.

When a user is removed from a group all of their content is removed, this includes wall posts, videos, photos, etc.. I've added a feature ticket for next release to allow keeping of the users data upon group removal.

As for other users data being removed. If you reply to a wall post and that wall post is deleted then your reply is too. Also if a user is deleted then so is all invites to and from that user regarding that group.

Please also note you're using RC2 when GJ 2.3 stable is available. I highly recommend upgrading.

Very, very crucial!
Fortunately I found this thread. I am thinking of using GroupJive integration in CBsubs. Not tested yet, just exploring and reading the parameters. I wonder what happens, when users are removed from groups based on Plan expiration? is it the same user deletion? That would make the CBsubs param useless, in my humble opinion. User activities and posts should be kept alive... because the user is able to re-join the group... manually or by a CBsubs re-newal etc.

Yes.

No really, it depends on your needs. For YOU it maybe useless, but others find it quite useful. At any rate it's not CBSubs fault; it's mine for implementing this to begin with into GJ. GJ is designed in my image (as any of my development is.. I won't be able to judge user reaction until release.. we're only on the 3rd release of 2.x), but is slowly changing with user feedback (e.g. this will be fixed with next release).

User activities and posts should be kept alive... because the user is able to re-join the group... manually or by a CBsubs re-newal etc.

They will be with next release, defaulted Disabled. You'll be able to simply Enable it and it'll keep data.

K,
It's a GREAT plugin!
I would suggest allowing to enable the deletion instead of enabling keeping the info of a user that left the group, as most users, like me, would expect it to stay there. Just a thought. Another thought if you don't mind my feedback is - Why not integrate the photos and videos to be shared on the wall. You already have a great mechanism that uploads photos and embeds videos, why not have those as buttons under the comment on the wall? The truth is that since Facebook did it, people expect it to be like that. The problem with separating photos videos and wall posts is that it's hard to know the CONTEXT of an uploaded photo or embedded video. If it's under comments, you can know the reason it is there.
But again. I am amazed with your powerful programming, honestly. You do an amazing work. Keep it up, many of us bless your name every single day ;)

Raised your Karma on 500! ;-)

I agree, as always it depends of the usage and context. Both scenarios are very possible and crucial. Its also a different story, if it has something to do with a deletion of the complete user-account... In this case it is a sub-function on top of the users activity... and the user can change his mind many times... its a more dynamic join/un-join as far as groups are concerned. Really looking forward to have an option for both situations: keep or delete ! :-)
