A-team feedback - delete options for contacts
October 06, 2010, 11:59:28 pm
Hi,

I just stuck up a really basic patch for how I expect hard deletes & soft-deletes will work in the API - ie. by adding a couple of $params options

'restore'
'skip_undelete'

I added 'restore' since it is a BAO option

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/secure/ManageAttachments.jspa?id=20576

I guess we'll need to put the permissioning code & some tests around it before it can be made available?

Good stuff!!!! And yes, we would have to put the permission code in and write some unit tests. In the coming weeks I'll be updating the Tag and Activity API, I will add this hard&soft delete bit too.

Hi,

Did you check if the BAO tests the permissions for the hard delete/restore ?

Michal: if we can automate the tests on the users permissions on the unit test, we are going to screw up something at one point or another, that's too complex for a human brain ;(

Do hard & soft deletes apply to entities other than contact?
