[xwiki-devs] [UX] Delete space menu action
Hi, WDYT about a delete space action in the space action menu? Seems like it' a basic need from the questions we get about how to do this. We would display all docs in the space on the delete page and ask extra confirmation. Thanks -Vincent

+1 This is asked a lot in the mailing list.

Definitely, otherwise it would be too dangerous i think.
Thanks -Vincent

A big +1 More functionality is always cool. Caleb Vincent Massol wrote:

It was actually coded by JV already (look at the commented code on Main.Spaces). JV commented that part out based on a remark by Laurent who considered the "Delete Space" action too dangerous to be exposed next to space names in the list on the Dashboard. Thus it shouldn't be too difficult to bring back for space admins through an item in the space-specific menu. Guillaume

+1. Maybe we can check if the user has the right to delete any of the pages from that space. If he can delete the pages one by one then he should be able to delete them all at once. Of course, he needs to confirm the action. Thanks, Marius

This check is costly, especially for spaces with many documents. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
+1 for admins If the users creates a space by accident, he can delete it by deleting the page. Deleting lots of pages at once is an admin job and risk. Question: Is gonna be an option to revert the space? just like with the pages? There should be a mechanism for that. Or at least a temporary mechanism, keep the files 5 minutes before making them orphans. On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 01:08, Sergiu Dumitriu <[email protected]> wrote:

Since a space is made just of spaces, there is the possibility to manually restore all the pages from that space from the trash. In the future we could (and should) implement mass actions in the trash UI: checkboxes for each row, and "delete selected" "restore selected" buttons. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
