So in my community people can delete their account which includes their records. When I had a user delete their account during testingand then other users come to the site we get this message:

http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/1351032/3772cdeadcd1e42ca774228574c7d373

I understand why this message appears as teh cobalt records are tied to the joomla user id so then when that user deletes their account they are trying t find the records but without the users it shows this error.

Obviously we will have people deleting accounts so how do we deal with this as it relates to cobalt and users deleting records.

You can also see the issue here on the cobalt records page: https://unknownartists.co/component/cobalt/items/1-projects?Itemid=182

Yes I face the same issue. I know you can manually change a record's author but the process should be automated somehow.

Suggestions

  1. User deletes account > user records are automatically unpublished / deleted.
  2. User deletes account > user records are automatically designated to a default user.

@Sergey, what are your thoughts on this?

We do have onUserAfterDelete event in plugin. That should delete all records of the user from DB.

Most probably the extension through which user deletes his account does not trigger it.

+1 for options

Yes we use Easysocial and my guess is that they deleted their account through that -- obviously not asking you to code it but couple of questions

  1. WHere is this plugin and Ican't find it in your download section on on my site?
  2. Any guidance on where to start with integration when they delete profile in EasySocial?

You can find code in plugins/system/cobalt/cobalt.php. Perhaps it is unpublished?

No. et's make a test. Open cobalt system plugin and in onUserAfterDelete insert something like echo 1; exit; and try to delete user profile and see if we get to that event.
