Proposal: move delete button to detail page.

[freekmurze]

In general all lists in the backsite feature delete buttons on every single row. Although they are rarely used, all those buttons combined get quite some screen real estate.

Wouldn't it be better to move the detail button to the detail page of a model? Thoughts?

I can imagine an author who wants to clean up his news section doesn't want to open every detail page and delete one by one.

Ideal situation:

• Batch actions on list view (select rows, select all, delete button) with a clean interface
• Individual delete on detail (maybe hidden under settings tab? This is probably not something you would use often while working on an article)

Option 1 requires some work though and sounds like Vue to me. Not sure if we want to replace the current dataTables and sortable tables setup?

Show me one site where this has ever happened 😺 For the vast majority of projects there is very little that ever gets deleted.

I'd love to replace the dataTables but I don't want to write the replacement 🤓

Me neither :). Ok, so we are not gonna replace dataTables for now. Is it the styling of the red buttons that is too much? Maybe a more modest look is enough to tackle this (and eg. be more in line with the gray delete action of a media row). I still think list view is the logical place to delete items.

A more modest look would also be a great improvement
