Re: recover all post deleted by accident by bad mojo portal design

First, there aren't any features where deleting a single post deletes all posts of a module.

Second, it sounds like you removed your blog content module from the page it was on. Due to the good design of mojoPortal, this doesn't delete the blog or its posts, it just removes it from mojoPortal. To "recover",  follow these instructions:

  1. go to the Content Manager
  2. Select "Blog" and "Filter by Feature", then click the "Find" button. You don't need to put anything in the "Title Contains" box.
  3. You will then see all blog module instances for your site listed. Find the one with "Blog (0)" in the Type column and click the "Publish/Delete" link.
  4. You will see a list of pages, find the page the blog is supposed to be on. You need to put it back on the same page or you will have problems with all of your friendly URLs.
  5. Once the correct page is located, click the dash circle button in the "Published" column. You can then select the Published checkbox and click Save/Update.
  6. Your Blog will be back on the correct page.

Third, if the instructions don't work, you need to restore a database backup, provide us with more information on what you did exactly, or purchase a help ticket.

Finally, I will be editing your posts to remove your foul language. We are very interested in providing a good CMS and good support to our users. We are not interested in helping people who cuss at us or treat us poorly. This is the only warning I will give you.

Thank you,
Joe

2) Select "Blog" and "Filter by Feature", then click the "Find" button. You don't need to put anything in the "Title Contains" box.

I see:

TitleTypeAuthor  

[no title]Blog (1)AdminView/Edit...Publish/Delete...

[no title]Blog (1)AdminView/Edit...Publish/Delete...

[no title]Blog (0)AdminView/Edit...Publish/Delete...

Motivo de denúnciaBlog (0)AdminView/Edit...Publish/Delete...

 

3) You will then see all blog module instances for your site listed. Find the one with "Blog (0)" in the Type column and click the "Publish/Delete" link.

which one ?

 

4)You will see a list of pages, find the page the blog is supposed to be on. You need to put it back on the same page or you will have problems with all of your friendly URLs.

I dont know "find the page the blog is supposed to be on"

 

CLICKING ON PUBLISH/DELETE ON ANY OF BELOW RESULTS GIVE ME THE SAME RESULTS

Re: recover all post deleted by accident by bad mojo portal design

Hi,

I understand you are upset but you need to take a deep breath and proceed carefully. If you keep going at this the way you are, you are going to end up making another mistake and causing yourself more trouble. 

I will help you recover your blog, but you need to calm down.

It'll be one of the ones with Blog(0) in the Type column. I don't know which one because it's not my site and I don't manage it. As the blog is a rather complex module, with friendly urls, you can't see it's content without it being on a page. So, publish one to the page and then visit the page. If the content isn't right, Unpublish it from the page and publish the other one.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi again,

Looking at the category links for that page in Archive.org, it looks like the module id for the blog you are trying to recover is 7. Hover over the "Publish/Delete" links and when you see the one with a link containing "mid=7", you will have the correct blog instance.

Thanks,
Joe

Re: recover all post deleted by accident by bad mojo portal design

It looks like you actually deleted it then, and didn't just remove it from the page. 

You need to restore from a database backup. You have a database backup, don't you?

Thanks,
Joe

Re: recover all post deleted by accident by bad mojo portal design

Alejandro,

I know you're upset about this but there isn't a problem or bad design in mojoPortal. You accidentally deleted the module containing your posts. The Module Settings page is where you deleted it from and that page looks much different from the post edit page. Further, when pressing the delete button, you were prompted if you wanted to delete the content "from all pages". 

Knowing all of this, would you please remove the very derogatory post you put on your website about mojoPortal. It isn't true and is not fair. We provide this CMS free of charge and it works very well for thousands of websites. It has done so for over a decade. In fact, the version of mojoPortal you have installed was released 7 years ago and if you were to upgrade today, it would still work fine, just with more features.

I hope you will delete your post deriding mojoPortal.

Thanks,
Joe

That's what a database backup is for. You don't have a database backup, that's bad planning on your part. Not ours.

Thanks,

Re: recover all post deleted by accident by bad mojo portal design

Alejandro I would support Joe's suggestion that your remarks above are unjustified, offensive and derogatory. He has tried hard to help you after your mistake. The post you have recently put on http://rta.cat/ is disgraceful. 

If you really have no database backup in seven years of running a website then you are not competent to make such accusations - that would be like saying BMW make bad cars because you drove yours into a tree when you were drunk. Or because the engine broke after you didn't put any oil in for 7 years. No, it is your mistake entirely, and you probably deserve legal action for your recent blog post, though I suspect Joe is too kind to consider such things.

I do not feel inclined to help you after what you have said and posted, but...  if your lost blog was public, then you will find that all posts have been indexed and archived by Google/Bing, and it should be easy to recover your content from there.

Re: recover all post deleted by accident by bad mojo portal design

hi, I read the discussion a bit,

I think the crispin post represents my thought. First of all, the advice I give you , I work as a programmer is to stay calm. mojoportal is really well done and in my opinion is the best cms to date, much superior and versatile than many other more known. believe me it's really well done.

the fact is that a minimum of standards of behavior is required when managing a site. backups are at the base of everything. periodically they must be backed up just because something goes wrong. or by competence, or for human and non-human errors.
accusing mojoportal of being unlucky is really like accusing a car if it breaks because it does not do maintenance. if you have not made a backup it is not the fault of anyone, let alone mojoportal or those who designed and built it.
mojoportal I can assure you that he does his duty in an excellent way, therefore, he avoids accusing.
I'm sorry if I may have looked, hard, but it's my thought, and I come in defense of mojoportal.


we are trying to help you ...
