PolarBlog Comment Delete Bug
I've just found that a bug fix I made in V1.5.2 (Groundhog)…"Deleting a single comment destroying all root level comments! A serious array data mishandling issue in the DB class has been corrected. Nested arrays are now handled properly."
Has NOT been fixed and appears to still exist! I know this because I've once again trashed my comments table! :( So until I can extract it from the backup (probably tomorrow), my comments on most entries will be missing.
Consider this your warning not to delete comments until I get this fixed. An easy work-around is to edit the offending comment and disable the display option. Generally this is what I do even with spam comments, but was fixing another comment problem and stumbled upon this while deleting a duplicate comment I created.
I don't have an ETA for fixing this, but I will likely issue a new release to address just this problem once I do fix it. Sorry. I hope this hasn't/doesn't hit you too! October 9, 2005 @ 10:25 am | Category: Software Development
