[Jot] Deleting documents, does MODx also delete any comments?

Hi,

I’ve just been wondering about deleting documents and the associated Jot comments. Will the comments associated with a document be deleted if the document is deleted?

I’ve just tested this, and no, the comments aren’t removed. So, if a document is deleted, the comments will continue to bloat the database. This could be solved with a plugin, surely?

Thanks,
Luke.

Indeed!

You’re looking for the OnDocFormDelete Plugin System Event.

Don’t think so, as this is only called when the document is deleted, not when it is actually deleted. You’d have to implement temporary deletion (marking as deleted) in jot.

Thanks,
Luke.

Perhaps there should be a OnEmptyTrash event ...

onEmptyTrash seems like a great idea.

OnBeforeEmptyTrash and OnEmptyTrash events added to internal development branch in revision 2574. $modx->event->params[’ids’] will hold an array of document id’s to be removed or what have been removed.

That is quick, efficient and really really lovely.

just like the rest of MODx.


Thanks Doze!

So, is this for version 0.9.6 or 0.9.7?

Thanks this will come in particularly useful

Those are now in 096 RC3. Now a plugin would have to be written to specifically look for those comments.
