recovering deleted posts

Is this possible? I had a user do something like try to
delete a
category. She reports that she got impatient because nothing
was
happening and may have used the browser's back button
and/or refreshed
the page. The short of it is I have no idea what she did,
but all of
her posts are gone.

Thanks,
Todd

:( Not likely, unless there is a file-system backup hanging
around.  
Since blojsom is file backed, files  go to the bit-bucket
for  
collecting.

There might be disk free sector recovery tools, but restores
from  
recent file system backups, if available, are the easiest.

Just as I suspected. Unfortunately, the last backup
pre-dates this
blog's recent activity. I'll see what I can find for
recovering files
on ext3.

Thanks,
Todd

Hi Cliffano,

I did have debugging on, and I found this:

Feb 14 10:39:43 DEBUG [http-8080-Processor40]
admin.EditBlogCategoriesPlugin - User request blog category
delete
action
Feb 14 10:39:43 DEBUG [http-8080-Processor40]
admin.EditBlogCategoriesPlugin - Deleted blog category:
/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/blojsom-blogs/sedwards

There were several requests to
admin.EditBlogCategoriesPlugin around
that time, which makes me think she was clicking/refreshing
and
probably didn't realize what she was doing.

The category in the log, however, is not the root category,
but it is
the root of her entries--at least I suppose that is saying
it removed
everything under
/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat/blojsom-blogs/sedwards,
which would have included all subcategories and posts.

Thanks,

Todd

One of the issues addressed in blojsom 2.29 was the addition
of JavaScript
to confirm all the delete XXX operations through the
administration
interface.

http:
//jira.blojsom.com/jira/browse/BLOJSOM-109

Sorry this probably doesn't help you much now.
