Ticket #19285 (closed: wontfix)

Opened 2 years ago

Last modified 9 months ago

Cannot delete forums

Reported by: fvogelnew1 Owned by: ctsai
Keywords: ENGR NF-2103 FORGE P3 Cc: ensegre
Private: no

Description

Trying to delete the forum "Usability of Scipad" from this page:

https://sourceforge.net/p/scipad/admin/discussion/forums

I get an error: "Shortname cannot contain space . or /"

What is this error?
How can I delete my forum?

Note that I received the same error message when deleting another forum "Future of Scipad", but apparently this one could be deleted in spite of the error message.

Hello,

I'm not able to remove that forum either. I'm escalating this to our engineering team for assistance: https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/2103/

I suspect that the restrictions have forum shortnames (used in the URL) has changed since this forum was created causing the problems.

Workaround:

  • Rename the forum shortname to "future"
  • Delete the forum

That worked for me for the mentioned forum.

After looking at this again, since there's a workaround, and since this only affects forums that were configured with a shortname with spaces (which isn't possible to set anymore). We're not going make any changes to "fix" this.
