Topic: Delete function not working

I am doing some housecleaning and have found that the "delete" function in the developers admin doesn't seem to be working.  Please advise.

Hmmm, OK, we'l look into it.

Re: Delete function not working

We think we've fixed this - please try again and see if it's working or you.

Still doesn't appear to be working.

Please email more info about what you're doing - which widget - for dash or chumby, etc.

I'm not doing anything special, just a function that I've used hundreds of times before, so I'm not sure what to report.

Tried multiple browsers as well all producing the same result.  I had assumed some type of delay, but that doesn't seem to be the issue.

Thanks in advance.

I've forwarded this to the server team.

Re: Delete function not working

There are two ways to delete a widget on chumby.com.  One of them works and the other doesn't.

After clicking on the "View your uploaded apps" link, there's a 'delete' link that's next to the 'edit' link.  This (first) one doesn't work.  The other (second) one becomes available below the 'Update' button after clicking on 'edit'.  This one is working correctly.

First URL = http://www.chumby.com/widgets/widget/...
Second URL = http://www.chumby.com/widgets/remove/...

There seems to be a mistake in the URL of the first one, which is probably why it's not working.  You'll notice that it contains "/widget/" in the same place where the other one has "/remove/".

Re: Delete function not working

Can you guys try this again?

Re: Delete function not working

It still doesn't work because the changes I've recommended above weren't implemented.  Just tell the guy who's attempting to fix the problem that he should read my previous posting first.

Re: Delete function not working

Actually, that's not the problem - the first link presents an "are you sure" alert, then ends up at the second link if the user hits "OK".

The second link just deletes the widget without any confirmation alert.

The problem appears to be that the delete requires a POST, which is not being sent by the alert.
