m_rsc_gone

This model tracks deleted resources (see m_rsc). Its primary goal is to be able to determine if a resource never existed, has been deleted or has been replaced by another resource.

Information kept

Only very basic information of the deleted resource is kept in the rsc_gone table. It is enough for referring to a new location, giving correct errors or to determine who deleted a resource.

It is not enough to undelete a resource. The module mod_backup retains enough information about past versions to be able to undelete a resource. Currently there is no support for an undelete.

Properties

Whenever a m_rsc record is deleted some information from that resource is copied to the rsc_gone table.

The following properties are saved:

Property Description Example value
id Id of the resource, an integer. 42
new_id If the resource is replaced by another resource then this is the id of that other resource. 341
new_uri If the resource is moved to another place on the web then this is the uri of the new location. <<”http://example.com/hello”>>
name The name (if any) of the deleted resource. <<”page_hello”>>
