Hi,

I allow members to add nodes via the gallery demo method. I add their memberid as metadata to each added node, so members can see/edit their own added content, etc. I need to add a delete button but don't see any built in node deletion function. Has anyone done this yet? I've been able to avoid using usercontrols so far and would like to pull this off without them as well if I can help it. If not, I'll whip one up. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Thanks!

Chris

Hi Chris,

Did you never right-click a node? 'Delete' is defenitely one of the options, so it's available from the admin backend as is through the api.

Just have a look at the api docs to find what you're looking for: apiDocs

I guess your situation is a bit different as you wish the user to only delete it's own uploaded nodes. You'll need to set the appropriate permissions (delete, update, ...) each time a user uploads a node, which you can only do using action handlers (v3.x) or using the .net event model (as from v4)

Bottom line is: Deletion of nodes is always available through right-clicking the node and selecting 'Delete' from the context menu. You'll have to take care of narrowing the permissions on each upload, so members can only delete their own nodes.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
/Dirk
