#2624 closed Defect (fixed)

deleting all group forum posts does not resolve to deleting all references to the thread

Reported by: tunist Owned by:
Priority: normal Milestone: Elgg 1.8.x
Component: Groups Version: 1.7
Severity: minor Keywords: forum, groups. thread. deletion
Cc: brettp Difficulty: moderate

Description

i notice that when i delete all the posts in a particular discussion thread, the thread itself is not completely removed from the database system.. the thread may be visible on some pages and even when cleared from there a reference still exists in the database as it is seen in the elgg entity monitor plugin and picked up by the content summary part of the 'header menu' plugin.
(e.g. the part of the header menu that says 'this site contains x discussions, y blogs').

  • Difficulty set to moderate
  • Milestone changed from Needs Review to Elgg 1.8

It's a usability issue. If you delete the topic from the topic list page, everything gets deleted. If you delete each post, the first post should probably have its delete link remove the entire thread with a warning.

  • Milestone changed from Elgg 1.8 to Elgg 1.8.1

Why is the content of the topic stored in a first post say all? Why not on the topic object itself?

This changed in trunk so that the object gets the text.
