Nick's Hotaru CMS Blog

It's typical that a few hours after announcing 1.0.5 that some rather nasty bugs revealed themselves, mostly to do with removing user content. I had one user that was upset at people criticizing the quality of his submission. First he edited his comments so they were blank. That made the Latest Comments and Activity widgets look broken. Then he edited the post description with *ADMINS - PLEASE DELETE ACCOUNT ENTIRELY*, and from then on things went really bad as Hotaru failed to "clean" his history completely from the database, and for good measure, emptied the comments table completely! 14,000+ comments over more than two years gone! Naturally, I reverted to the previous day's backup. More bugs followed such as not being able to close the comment form and not being able to change a user's name (Edit: both fixed at SVN trunk rev. 1103)

So I've got my work cut out to identify what's causing these and get them fixed ASAP. Unfortunately, my son is also buggy - throwing up and poo'ing everywhere - so he's off school today and I'm taking care of him which takes priority for now.
