Unchecking child blog from "Broadcast" meta box should delete child post

Indeed. I’ve this idea on my todolist for a white and haven’t yet figured out a good way to handle unlinking. I’m thinking about some form of delete button that pops up when unchecking a child blog, but am unsure of how to do it.

What do you see as the most logical way of delinking a child, without deviating too much from the current behavior?

How about this:

– Once a blog is checked and the post is saved, it stops having a check box next to it and it is moved to another list. (this is because the “uncheck” functionality doesn’t do anything, so we might as well not have it)

– Next to the broadcasted blogs would be a text link titled “Remove”, or alternately an icon with title text if space efficiency is important.

– When you click on “Remove”, a modal popup appears asking you to confirm that the post will be deleted from the child blog.

– Upon confirming the modal notification, a background AJAX action is performed which unlinks the child post and deletes it from that blog. (so you don’t have to save the post to perform the action)

Again, the theme is “easy come, easy go” – it should be just as easy to un-broadcast as it is to broadcast.

Alternately, a simpler way would just be to enable the “uncheck” action, but put some JavaScript behind it so that it notifies the user of what it will do. Something like, “Warning: This action will delete the broadcasted post from the selected blog, including any modifications that may have been made.”

Noted. I’ll have a look at this next week after my vacation.

Could you please e-mail me for a beta version of the unlinking behavior?

This was fixed a few versions ago.
