Re: Question about custom content items deletion

Usually what I do is create a delete method for that object that looks in all possible related rules for itself and removes it from them.  Then at the end of the method run a super.delete().

I've requested to have FarCry be able to do this in the past (because I end up writing this for pretty much every custom type on every FarCry project).  The request is a bit old and still in Jira I believe.  It would be fairly easy for FarCry to be able to do it.  All it would need is a simple list of the rule names associated to that object to look in and do a cleanup (there are probably a few other ways to do it as well).

As a result, in the corresponding test details view, the selected question became 'Object Not Found'.

I can manage to hide the 'delete' button from the scaffolded views but I just want to know does this sound a bit odd or is there any way I can customize the delete action so that I can do a check to see whether or not there are content items exist in the join table and if yes prompt user a warning message?
