Delete Store caution

[Barrett]

Ok so I'm drilling around in the nav edit section and hit the delete button thinking it will delete one of a few version of the nav templates, but the delete button targets the whole store for deletion !

Why on earth would you design a delete button to appear apparently on a somewhat global basis that could wipe out ones entire store geeezzzz ?

Ok so at least it gave a warning in black and white small print.....but that imo is terribly poor UI design. Deleting the store should only be accessible on one screen a few layers deep with several are you sure warnings in big red letters...

It cleaned up your nav templates though right? :)

While I fully agree, this is not a 5.5 issue but a 5 issue.

While designing 5.5 we specifically did not fix UI issues as to not alter the usage experience for people who knew 5 already.

Ok I can go with and understand that concept, but this is where a known issues list would be nice again imo.
I get it, but I don't think anybody would be upset if they found something like that suddenly changed for the better.

Fair enough. I'll make sure it's on our list and we're also looking to set an expected date on making bugzilla public.

If you are a firefox user, I can give you the script that I use (and require other admins to use) in my greasemonkey. It's extremely dirty, but it works for me:

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Miva Delete Button Removal
// @namespace      
// @description    Removes the delete button in Miva admin screens
// @include        */mm5/admin.mvc*
// ==/UserScript==

var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');

for (var i=0; i<inputs.length; i++) {
	if (inputs[i].value == 'Delete') inputs[i].style.display = 'none';
}
