Mobile: 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

HI can u assign this to me

[imshivam-gupta]

I have started working on this

[imshivam-gupta]

@palisadoes Can you please elaborate 2nd point

There must be no CRUD activity related the titles of regular post

[palisadoes]

1. Titles must not be visible or editable for regular posts.
2. Pinned posts cannot be converted to regular posts and vice versa

In the near future we'll need to create a separate post type to more easily separate the functionality

[imshivam-gupta]

The API functionality for preventing posts with titles hasn't been implemented properly, as evidenced by the ability to create such posts. There seems to be a flaw in the implementation on the API side.

If for mobile app this hasn't been solved yet, please assign this to me.

[chiragtyagi2003]

Hi @Cioppolo14 cloud you provide clarity about whether I should consider the code of the develop branch or the main branch? Also I have found some bugs and points for major improvements and would like to discuss it further.

[Cioppolo14]

@chiragtyagi2003 Please use the develop branch. The main branch is not the most recent code.

[chiragtyagi2003]

@Cioppolo14 Considering the develop branch, there are many UI, which I think should be improved, Also there is no guidance or search about the community URLs creating confusion for new users.

[Cioppolo14]

@chiragtyagi2003 Please search through the issues we have right now, I know we have a lot of changes happening. If you find a new issue, feel free to propose it and our team will review the exact issue and proposed solution. We are focused on major bugs and fixes right now. Thank you for exploring the Talawa repos and looking for ways to improve them!
