Deleting page with existing subpages renders site un-viewable
Posted: Mon Jan 15, 2007 2:57 pm
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.
