Confirmation Step on Product Delete

  • Hi,

    Some months ago I asked if a confirmation step could be added when deleting a product, a category, a sub category or a catalogue.

    This is because it is too easy to click ‘Delete’ by mistake when meaning to click the product (or category, sub-category or catalogue) to edit it.

    I saw today that this has not been done despite a promise that it would be, so please now add that confirmation step into the delete process. It is, after all, an accepted practice when deleting anything in any platform.

    This is important because a customer deleted a product by accident and it had to be re-entered. Thankfully it wasn’t a catalogue.

    Thank you.

  • Hi abledragon,

    Thank you for reminding us. We have added a confirmation step when the user tries to delete a catalogue, in addition to the one displayed when the “Delete All Products” is clicked.

    As for the single products, we have suggested in another thread to add custom CSS to hide the “Delete” buttons underneath each product. This way, the only way to delete a single product would be to click its checkbox and go to the dropdown menu to delete it.

    Here is the CSS to add to Admin.css

    /* Removes Delete button in product page */
#Products .name .row-actions .delete .delete-tag {
display:none;
}

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    OK, thanks for that. I see that Admin.css was updated today (with the 3.8.5 update) – does that mean I need to update the CSS every time there’s a plugin update?

    Also, it’s still possible to delete categories and sub-categories without a confirmation step – can you let me have the CSS to hide the delete link on those as well please..?

    Many thanks.

    Hi Able,

    If you update the plugin, then you will indeed need to add the new CSS back into the Admin.css file.

    The CSS to remove the products, categories and sub-categories delete buttons is:

    #Products .name .row-actions .delete .delete-tag, #Categories .name .row-actions .delete .delete-tag, #SubCategories .name .row-actions .delete .delete-tag {
display:none;
}

    Hi,

    OK, thanks for that.

    I would still like to ask for a more permanent solution because the plugin is updated every few days and that means I will need to edit the Admin.css file every couple of days as well – not ideal.

    Thanks.
