Hi,

I want to remove the ‘Delete from the draft site’ button for published pages. (i.e. I only want this button present if the user has unpublished the page)

This is the code (in cms/code/CMSMain.php) that adds the button, I need to include in the if condition that the record is unpublished.

else {
if($record->canEdit()) {
$actions->push($deleteAction = new FormAction('delete',_t('CMSMain.DELETE','Delete from the draft site')));
$deleteAction->addExtraClass('delete');
}

Does anyone know how I would code $record-> is unpublished?

Many Thanks

Billy

Try $record->Published()

Also, you don't need to mod the core code. Just add the method getAllCMSActions() to your model class.

No probs, I should have done that

Added the following in Sapphier/core/model/SiteTree.php
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function getCMSActions() {
$actions = array();

if(!$this->isPublished()) {
$deletedraft = FormAction::create('delete',_t('CMSMain.DELETE','Delete from the draft site'), 'delete');
$deletedraft->addExtraClass('delete');
$actions[] = $deletedraft;
}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

removed the following in cms/code/CMSMain.php
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// getAllCMSActions can be used to completely redefine the action list
if($record->hasMethod('getAllCMSActions')) {
$actions = $record->getAllCMSActions();
} else {
$actions = new FieldSet();

if($record->DeletedFromStage) {
if($record->can('CMSEdit')) {
$actions->push(new FormAction('revert',_t('CMSMain.RESTORE','Restore')));
$actions->push(new FormAction('deletefromlive',_t('CMSMain.DELETEFP','Delete from the published site')));
}
} else {
/*if($record->canEdit()) {
$actions->push($deleteAction = new FormAction('delete',_t('CMSMain.DELETE','Delete from the draft site')));
$deleteAction->addExtraClass('delete');
}*/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Updated Button name in cms/lang/en_US.php

Not sure if this is the best way to get there, but it works.

Did anyone figure out how to do this without moding the core? If so, could you please post your code that goes in the page model class here.

Thank you. After the third time my client deleted whole sections of their website and I had to muck around in the database to hook the pages back up, I decided I needed to remove the 'Delete from draft site' button for published pages.

While my SiteTree.php was slightly different than what was posted, I was able to get it to work.

How can there be such a catastrophic delete function without even a "Are you sure? confirmation dialog?
