Topic: Delete data/log from post page

[Manne]

It would be great to be able to delete data and logs for a post directly from the post edit page, when updating a post. Is there an easy way to do this?

I find it is not really needed because you can edit the custom field in the post edit page
When you delete the post, the custom field for that post will also get deleted
Not many people delete their ratings often
It will cluttered the post edit screen
The log are there for you to see only, it holds useless information.

Not all the time though. I can be useful.

If anyone is interested, I solved this by putting the following code in wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php:

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="delete_datalog" value="3">
<input type="hidden" name="delete_postid" value="<?php echo $post_ID; ?>">
<input type="submit" class="button delete" name="do" value="<?php _e('Erase all ratings for this post', 'wp-postratings'); ?>" class="button" onclick="return confirm('<?php _e('This will erase all ratings for this post.', 'wp-postratings'); ?>')" />
</form>

But it is not recommended to edit any WP core files as after upgrading WP, the changes will be gone.

Thats what plugins are for.

Well, if the plugin author refuses to implement the function then I guess I have to live with that
