Feature request: delete theme button

[hgoor]

Hi all,

First: Merry Xmas to all of you!

Now my question:

When I installed the latest beta of S9y I got 2 experimental themes with it that messed up my template chooser dropdown because the names where to long.

Since they where experimental, I decided to delete them. However: unlike with the plugins, there is no option to delete a theme from within the S9y administration backend. Why not?

So my feature request would be to be able to delete a theme from within the S9y admin backend

Now I had to use a SSH sessionn and delete them manually, which makes no sense...

I suppose it's because unexperienced users could accidentially delete the default theme, which would screw up a lot. However, they can do this using ssh or ftp as well, so it's not a "good" reason

Well, it would not be so difficult to make at least the deafult theme (or 1 theme) un-deletable: that's what programmers are for anyway

Finally someone found out what programmers are for. Thanks a lot

Your welcome..

Ps: don't forget they are here also to create bugs.. Uh, "undocumented features" I mean....

Well, you can use PHP's rmdir() function to delete folders, so happy working on the new feature!

Hi!

The problem is that usually the 'template' directory is not chmodded so that PHP can unliunk/delete files. So in most cases the deletion would fail, making users require to go in to FTP the right permissions. But then, they could already simply delete the theme...?

For a first help I just shortened the experimental theme/template names...

Best regards,
Garvin
