The recent loss of valuable comments in the Xoops.org module repository was - according to an unconfirmed report - a result of deleting some categories in WF-Downloads.

I am planning on using the module soon, but I would feel happier if the SmartFactory team could give some assurance that this was due to human error and not a bug?.

Hey Peekey,

How are you man? Yeah you should find wf-Downloads perfectly safe to use, I used it for X-Torrent, which is the only torrent server for xoops.

The reason the records where orphaned is when the database was restored it had deleted the comments from the comment database as well then the category was deleted.

Xoops does a bit of cleaning for you when you remove stuff.

The module tables where restored but the comment table was not... As there where new records and comments from other parts of the site in it.

Hope that answers your question.
