After deletion of shared note try to visit deleted page

[David E Drury]

After a shared note is selected from the Shared note menu item and then is deleted using the "delete shared note" menu option the following message is displayed "Unable to find record with ID". Think it would be better to return to the list of notes.

Is this not the case with most deletions? I'm sure I saw the same recently after deleting an INDI record.

Not disagreeing with the report, just wondering f there's a more generic solution required.

I agree with kiwi.

When I originally wrote the shared note code about 18 months ago in PGV, if a shared was deleted, then the return WAS to the list of shared, and also had the facilty to create a new shared note when looking at the list.
However, in order to conform with how the List of SOUR's, REPO's etc operate, I removed this "return to list".
So it is not a bug as such, but operating as designed, and how other Lists operate.

As kiwi says, perhaps this should be brought up as a feature request rather than a bug, after it has been thought through.

In the meantime, I think I should mark this bug as invalid.

Do you want me to do that?

Yes please David,

Have a good look at the Shared Note List page, and think about anything else you may like to see here.
Then look at the Source and Repository List pages, and pass any comment about the operation of these.
All these tree list operate pretty much the same, so should be consistant.
I'll follow up with any comments I have OK?

Then post your request in the http://webtrees.net, tab forums, Request for Feature.

If a user does not have "auto-accept", then it is correct to stay on the page, and the user will see a "deleted record".

If a user does have "auto-accpet", then I think we should keep the same process. This means that they must also come back to the same page.

You could argue that the "Record does not exist" message is actually the confirmation that the deletion has been sucessful.

After deleting a record, it is difficult to predict which page the user might want to visit next.

It is working as designed, and nobody has suggested a better design. So, I will close it.

If you do have any ideas, please feel free to reopen it!
