active_post is set as 'tinyint'. What is currently happening is that I hit 'delete'.
The active_post column is set to 0, but the post is still visible on the front end. In short - I only want the active post to be visible to the user. If the delete it, it is archived, and no posts visible, until they add a new one - so a user should only ever have 1 active post. Hope this makes sense? Is there a way I can do this?
