Shouldn’t ratings get deleted when the corresponding entry is deleted?  I’m finding that when an entry is deleted, the ratings are orphaned.

For now I might add code to my own ‘delete_entries_loop’ hook handler to take care of it, but obviously it should really be handled by Rating itself.

McCarthy,

You’re right, it’d be great if Ratings were removed when a weblog entry is deleted, although I don’t believe this functionality is built into Rating.
The fact that the Ratings are really a seperate entry in their own table poses the issue I guess, as they’re only really just “related”

You would probably need to add a hook handler for this like you plan to do.

I’ll add this as a feature request anyway

Thank you!

Thanks for your reply and for adding the feature request.

That is the fundamental nature of relational databases.  Same deal with comments and all sorts of other things in the EE database that are deleted when you delete the entry they’re dependent on.  I’m assuming it’s just an oversight that the ratings aren’t deleted.

There’s already an extension that’s part of Rating, so all it would take is to add a ‘delete_entries_loop’ handler to that.

Thank you

If you guys could offer the “fix for this it would be greatly appreciated. 

I’ll settle for instructions on how to “add the hook” myself until it’s worked into a new release.

Same goes for deletion of Gallery Extended relationships (this is a huge one!)

Anyway, Thanks for any reply

wecreateyou,

McCarthy / wecreateyou,
