But this is only expected because you understand the inner workings of BoltWire. Take a new user, decided they don't need an action.zones page or some other system page, so they press delete. Using your approach BoltWire would say, page deleted, and then it is immediately recreated. What? I thought I deleted that! So he deletes again--as many times as he likes with no effect. Throws up his hands in confusion--how do I get rid of that page... Under the current system of course, he clicks delete, and the page vanishes. Granted, it is really an illusion in this case--but it is the closest thing to what the normal user would expect I can think of. I'd be more inclined to change the documentation, if needed, than to change the feature. Admins should have a way to delete system pages they don't want on their site. > > Example: Delete your top > - you no longer have a top page in your field But go to page top--and it shows up in your browser as if it were there... > - system/pages/top is used but not copied to your field > - if you decide to create a custom top, do it These are true either way. The question is only whether or not that page can be deleted when you want it to be. Under the current system it can at least act as if deleted, and literally be deleted (the second time you hit delete). Under your proposal, you only have the one option, not the other. I like options. And keeping things more intuitive for new users. We old times can adapt to anything. :) Cheers, Dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BoltWire" group.
