Deleting Groups

[jnolen]

In the process of testing Fabrik, I have several groups that I've used on multiple test forms, as well as the final version. I'm now in the process of cleaning things up and deleting extraneous forms/groups/elements. Can I delete the groups that are related to the forms I've deleted? I.e., form id 8 has a group Address Info with form (8) beside it. Can this be deleted even though there are two other groups called Address Info with form (5) and form (2)?

I think that yes, but backup your database ;) before and try it

I've been doing it and I haven't had any problems. 1.04b

I don´t have problems in 1.0.4 (SVN 40), but I don´t know what is jnolen´s fabrik version

[jnolen]

I just have 1.0.4, I haven't downloaded/installed the SVN yet. If I delete one of the groups in the scenario I outlined above, it deletes ALL the groups of the same name, regardless of which form they were/are associated.

i tested this by creating two groups both called "twin"
I then deleted the first group and the second group was still visible.
This is using the 1.0.4 SVN revision 78

How do you tell what revision you are using?

[andrelewis]

Well I know because I checked out the code from subversion, and it tells you the revision number as part of the checkout. I don't believe there is really any other way to tell.

I've tried to update the wiki to explain some of this, hopefully it will be helpfull to someone?
