Deleting page with existing subpages renders site un-viewable

Post by storyleader »

Hi, I love CMSMS! I have used it to create websites for very inexperienced users, who have all found it usable and understandable. Hooray!

Using 1.0.1 at the moment, I have had 2 experiences with this problem: if a user deletes a page that has existing subpages, there is a problem:

1. The site itself (not the admin) shows only a blank page.
2. The sub-pages are not deletable within the admin.

I have only been able to resolve this by using PhpMyAdmin to delete the orphaned sub-pages.

For a fix, I would imagine an alert when trying to delete a page with existing subpages, something like:

"Warning: This page has sub-pages. You must delete them first, then delete this page."

P.S. I apologize if this is a duplicate report or if I've put this report in the wrong place; I tried hard to find previous reports as well as where to put this.

I'm not positive, but I think this may have been fixed in the 1.02 release. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

In default 1.0.2 if you look across from a page with subs you won't see the trash can but if you check the box at the end and go to the bottom and have Delete in the drop down then hit submit it will ask if you want to delete all the page and all the sub pages, as a list showing the names of all sub pages also...
