Unable to delete variables

Joshua Burcham 12 Nov 2010 00:32 problem, complete

I can't seem to delete variables. I go to the Manage Variables tab > Select checkbox for the variable I need to delete > Select "Delete" from the drop down box > Click Submit. The page refreshes but the variable is still there.

Low Variables 1.3.2. Expression Engine 1.6.8.

    Problem reproduced. I'll get a fix ready straight away.

    Awesome. Thanks!

    I'll release a new version soon, but in the meantime, you can fix it with these steps:

    - Open up mcp.low_variables.php in a text editor
    - Go to line #1365. You'll see:

    $this->_delete_confirmation($vars);

    - Change that to:

    return $this->_delete_confirmation($vars);

    - Save file
    - Fixed!

    Confirmed that works for me too :)

    Just released v1.3.3, which includes the fix.

    Hi Low, I'm running EE 2.2.2 and Low Variables 1.3.7.

    I"m noticing this same problem - I can't delete any of my variables. If I try, they usually end up getting moved into the "Ungrouped" group. I haven't tried the workaround you mentioned, but I wanted to see if this bug has been reopened.

    Thanks!!

    Hi Manoj,

    Are you using LibrarEE or another snippet/var sync add-on?

  9. Manoj 9 Sep 2011 20:38

    Aha, LibrarEE is the issue. Adding a '--' to the LV will delete it.

    Thanks!

    Cool, glad it's working now.
