Hi There
Is it possible for a user to unpublish or delete their own entry at the frontend?
I see there are permission settings for Delete, Edit, Edit State and Edit Own in contest and category, but I don't see any options for this on the user entries page, not even for the site admin.
Am I missing something?
Sven,
It is not possible to delete or unpublish, only to edit under My Entries view. I am not sure that it is a good idea to allow contestants to delete an entry.
But we can implement a feature to Edit state, that sound like a good idea.
Kind regards,
Dmitrijs
Hi Dmitrijs,
Thanks for your reply.
An Edit state addition would be welcome, but in my humble opinion, a user should always have full control over their uploads.
In our case, we plan to use NorrCompetition in two different ways.
The first will be to host weekly design competitions where users upload their work. They won’t be happy with the fact that they can’t delete their own submissions and may feel that the site is holding their work hostage.
The second way we plan to use it is by having open galleries where users can upload their work without a voting round. Our current galleries contain more than 40,000 designs, and we’re in the process of migrating these to NorrCompetition.
Users delete items all the time for various reasons, and although an Edit state will be great, users own their work. Not allowing them to remove their own uploads doesn’t feel right, as it implies ownership by the website.
The only way around this would be a user to request deletion of an upload by contacting the site admin who then manually has to remove it.
Ideally, it would have "Delete own" in Permissions in contests, allowing users to delete their uploads if they want to.
I see your points. We will set this feature to the list for NC v3 that will be a massive update compatible with J6+. The work on it is progress, but it won't be this year for sure. Probably 2026Q1.
Kind regards,
Dmitrijs
