Exorcist Delete

Hi!

Just a quick question: Does Exorcist have support for
exporting deletes 
already? 

If no: Is this planned for the future? 

If yes: It doesn't work for me. I deleted one Style Element
on the staging 
server, ran Exorcist and still had it on my live server
afterwards. Do I have 
to make some special configuration for this to work?



Bye,

Andreas

Yes, with some restrictions. See the warning below.

Are you are using a XSLT selection to only replicate the
mgd:midgard_style content? The delete information is
exported as
separate mgd:delete elements at the end of the XML export,
so you'll
be able to replicate the deletions if you add something like
<xsl:apply-templates select="mgd:delete"/>
to your stylesheet.

WARNING: The exported deletions contain *only* the deleted
GUID, so
there is currently no way to restrict the deletions to just
one object
class (like styles or style elements) or object tree (like
some
specific style A). The class information would be possible
to include,
 but not the tree information because of the way Midgard
currently
handles parent links.

Hi!

Thanks for the fast reply! Yes, I'm not replicating the
entire db, just Styles 
and Snippets, and I've deleted a lot of User accounts from
the staging server 
after the last complete synchronisation. Needless to say,
these are still 
needed on the live server, so being able to restrict deletes
to certain 
classes would be most helpful! 


Bye,

Andreas
