Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/28345 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/28345 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: node.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: kubaZygmunt Updated by: Thomas Ilsche Status: patch (code needs review) By the way: For my work (soc testsuite project) it would be quite handy to have a dedicated user_delete function (like user_save). Is there any policy or plan against this.

While I don't want to see a GUI for this, I still like the idea of controlling finer Drupal details though the $conf init array in settings.php.

That's especially true for historical data in a site where the user population is transient. I'd make it an option in the settings somewhere which to default to, so that it's harder to forget and do it wrong if your usual preference doesn't match up with the expected default. :-) lgarfiel Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 06 Aug 2005 14:48:02 +0000 : kubaZygmunt Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/node_delete_user.txt (667 bytes) I've added node_user hook, to re-assign all content from deleted users to anonymous during deleting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 06 Aug 2005 15:56:43 +0000 : mathias -1 I think most admins expect that when a user is deleted, their content is also deleted or at least hidden.

When deleting a user, there should be a checkbox that says "Delete user's content," defaulted to on. Or there should at least be a warning. Quite a bit of the site could get unwittingly obliterated. I've had this happen to me. I set up a test account. Then I added some content with the account. After I was done with the account, I was quite surprised to discover all the content gone.
