Removing Entities

[telecastg]

I suggested as possible solution to provide the ability to create Modules from the Administration panel and to encapsulate everything related to this "Module" the same way that extensions are implemented, instead of dumping everything into the "Custom" module as it is currently implemented.

Hopefully this or a better solution is something that the development team will consider.

That's very annoying when recreating the database from custom folder and trying to import from old instance... :\

Yes apparently this is an issue that hasn't been resolved and there's no timetable to address it. "Removing" entities from the Administration panel, in addition of not removing or altering tables, doesn't really clean up other effects in different scripts.

Is this still the case ?

Removing of field / entity doesn't remove column / table from db. Delete columns and tables from db manually.

I am having a problem deleting relationships and fields. I delete them from the entity and the layout, but when I go into the table they are still there. How do you synch your entities to the tables? I don't want all the extra fields.

Hi
"recreate the contact entities and is not letting me". All contacts have to be available. What problem do you have? Check log file. Did you remove from contact layouts field or panel "Commissions"?

I have created an entity called "Commission" and I have also created a many to many relationship with "Contact" On the database I now i have two tables "commission" and "contact_commission" I then delete the "Commission" entity but I still have the tables on the database. When I go into the contact the relationship is not there. I now need to recreate the contact entities and is not letting me. How can I fix this?
