If you have the appropriate post editing permission then it should be. Are you seeing a problem?

The buttons I am seeing are:

Mark All Posts Approved and go to Topic, Mark All Post Approved and Close, Mark All Posts Approved and Quick Reply, and Delete Post

So either I am misinterpreting what the actual function of the buttons are, or I don’t have my permissions set correctly.

Ah – there are no post editing facilities in the admin bar itself. Posts are edited within the topic view – i.e., load the topic and edit the post from there.

To Clarify:

Go to topic, Use forum toolset, edit, and than approve?

Is there an easy way to go to topic from the admin bar?

You shouldn’t need to use the tools popup actually – there should be an edit button above the post itself.

If the topic is in the admins postbag – i.e., listed in the admin bar posts, then just click on the topic name and it will load it. This does NOT approve it or mark it as read but will load the topic and post.

For posts in moderation I am not seeing an Edit button, only Delete.

OK – but it IS in the toolbox yes> Maybe we should expose it above the post as well. Will look into it

Yes, the toolset when you open it has all the options you need.

Having access to the Edit button above the post would be very helpful

Any admin or users that can delete a post will see it…  if you are not, I would check your sp theme template file for spTopicView.php and make sure the template function is in there…

Just want to make sure we’re on the same page.  The pic below is the behavior I am seeing (link).  Posts that are through moderation have delete, edit and quote buttons,  for posts in moderation there is only the delete button. I have no idea how to fix this. I am seeing this while logged in as Admin.

It is us that needs to fix it! And we will.

Well that explains it then… sorry, if mentioned earlier, I missed the part about it being in moderation…  That is by design so not really a fix per se… yeah semantics…   and never asked for before…

but we can certainly consider allowing the edit button on posts in moderation…   it will also be there for the user who posted then too if they have permission… might be bit harder to only do for admins or mods…

but will open a ticket for us to look into this enhancement…

Thanks for looking into adding this.  

Also, I have no idea if this is possible – could an option be put into the Admin bar? So for items in moderation after you click view, Along with (Mark This Post Approved and go to Topic, Mark This Post Approved and Close, Mark This Post Approved and Quick Reply, and Delete Post) add a 5th option “Go to post to edit”.
