CMS Made Simple Forums

Deleting pages and other stuff is kind of dangerous right now if JavaScript is disabled. Would it be possible to have checkboxes like you have in webmail-accounts, to check what pages you would like to delete, then have JS let you confirm it (if activated) and then delete via submit?

I agree.  I've actually been toying with just writing it in very quickly.  The only issue comes with deleting parent pages and whether they should delete the children...

Yeah that would be cool. Marking pages to delete just like in phpmyadmin.  And deleting childern with their parents would be great

maybe a trash bin to hold deleted items?

wishy,

if I am not mistaken CMSMS has the ability to identify, if an element is a parent element to other elements grouped below. So what about a second checkbox to each parent element, allowing you to delete parent plus sub-pages?

Well, the absolute quickest possible way to implement it would be to only allow you to delete pages with no children.

But with the children stuff, then it's a matter of figuring out which children are there and then showing a screen that says what pages are about to be deleted.

I just did a quick copy & paste with photoshop to illustrate what I mean. During the weekend I searched my brain for a CMS I used to use where deleting pages was solved this way.

Well, I don't see the 2 checkboxes as making much sense to most users.  I'll probably go with the 2nd page showing the children that are affected by the delete.

Maybe I overlooked something but I just played with the beta and find it very annoying to manually delete the content. But I must say that I like the concept of a demo-page being installed as something to play with.

Maybe 0.12 should include a "delete demo-content" somewhere ...

BTW: I just did it via SQL ... but I wouldn't recommend that for just anybody
