Cannot Delete Contact Types
January 18, 2011, 10:52:31 am
Hello,

I tried to search in a few places but I didn't find my specific problem. When I first setup CiviCRM (this weekend), I created two Contact types: Intern and Volunteer. I was just fiddling around with the settings. I realized that I should use groups and tags for these types of contacts instead. I tried to go back and delete the contact types I created but the system will not let me delete them (or disable them). I checked to make sure that I don't have any contact records attached to these contact types (per reading some other form posts about membership types). No dice.

When I click on the contact type to edit it, it brings up the edit screen but clicking the "save" or "cancel" buttons just reloads the page back to what it was without the edits. If I click the "disable" from the list, the popup says: "There is no response from server therefore selected record is not updated." The delete button next to the contact type also just reloads the page.

On a side note, maybe related (probably related  :P), I tried to override "civicrm" from the url with a rewriterule in my .htaccess file. When I did this all of my civicrm links changed from:

civicrm/admin/options/subtype&reset=1

to:

content/admin/options/subtype&reset=1?q=civicrm/admin/options/subtype&reset=1

I would like to go back to the shorter link, if that's possible without having to reinstall the module.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Scott

UPDATE:

I decided to uninstall and reinstall the module since I hadn't invested too much in it and I couldn't replicate the problem on drupal.demo.civicrm.org.
