Hi,

when someone push the button "Delete" on a xowiki page
then that page is immediately deleted...

is it possible to change something in xowiki params/config
that there will be a question "Are you sure?"
before page is deleted???

................
best regards,
Michal Hanckowiak

One can activate a confirm dialog for delete on the admin/list page by removing a comment (search in xowiki/www/admin/list.tcl for "delete_confirm"). The experience says that this does not help much, since people simply click through after some time without reconsidering.

The right solution would be a proper trashcan (and trashcan management), but this needs to be done at the cr-level and is a larger task.

thanks Gustaf,
you are talking about the list of objects in admin panel;
is it also possible to add such a "confirmation dialog"
to a button "Delete" on the top of a xowiki page??
(with url .../mypage?m=delete)

You are probably taking about the "wikicmds". sure is this possible, just edit the template you are using (e.g. view-default.adp) and add the js-snippet from admin/list.tcl.
