Admin: Deprecate Titles for Non-Pinned Posts

[palisadoes]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Our post feature has never worked as expected. The original idea was for only pinned posts created by Admins requiring titles to attract greater attention, all other posts would not have them.

Social media platforms do not require titles for news feed posts, this is because it adds a step that increases the risk of low interaction rates. We need to implement this as per the original design.

Describe the solution you'd like

API

1. The API must only require titles for pinned posts. All other post types must generate an appropriate error if a title is provided.
2. Pinned posts can only be created by Super Admins or Admins for the organization where the post was created

Admin

1. Only pinned posts must require titles.
2. Non Pinned Posts
   1. Post screens not related to pinned posts must not display titles (As they won’t exist)
3. There must be no CRUD activity related the titles of regular post
4. Pinned posts can only be created by Super Admins or Admins for the organization where the post was created

Mobile

1. The mobile app must not allow the creation of pinned posts as this is an Admin function
2. There must be no CRUD activity related the titles of regular post
3. Pinned posts can only be created by Super Admins or Admins for the organization where the post was created

Other

1. All tests for this functionality update must be valid
2. No other functionality must be altered

@palisadoes @Cioppolo14 Can you please explain whether i can work on the desktop (admin) page currently as i havent done the setup for the mobile or i have to raise a PR solving both mobile and admin posts?

[palisadoes]

The API work is complete. You can start on your work

[Abhinob-Bora]

Ok thanks

[Sejal1411]

Hey @palisadoes I am unable to view Pin feature here even after fetching data from upstream..

[palisadoes]

@pateldivyesh1323 Your recently merged PR is negatively impacting the pinned post feature. Please work with @Sejal1411 on this. Create a new PR on the same API issue if necessary.

[Abhinob-Bora]

@palisadoes can you please clarify one thing...

every post will have a title input right ( title input box should be there for ADMIN OR SUPER ADMIN )

And whenever a ADMIN or SUPER ADMIN clicks on PIN POST the post should show the title.Else it shouldn't show the title

For users the post shouldn't even have the input title box.

Am I correct!?
