I have uninstalled the casetracker-6.x-1.x-dev module. However, "Create content" (node/add) still lists the node types "Project" and "Case" created by Case Tracker. How can I clean up that list?

I have now solved this problem by manually removing the associated rows from the "menu_links" table. Found that there is a lot of data trash from casetracker still in the database, even after "officially" uninstalling the module. The 6.x port seems very unstable and premature at this time.

Hi,

If you can be more specific about the "data trash" that you believe casetracker is leaving in your database, or perhaps provide patches to help clean it up that would be more useful that simply calling the module "unstable". Keep in mind that in fact that the code you're running in very clearly labeled as a development snapshot, and is not a stable release.

Cheers

Yes, you are absolutely right. The 6.x port is clearly labeled as a development snapshot, thus not mentioned to be stable yet. I'm sure it will be a stable nice module in the future, but right now I could not use it on my D6 site, so I had to uninstall it. Since the node/add page still contained (dead) links for creating Case Tracker content, I searched my entire Drupal database for "Case Tracker", which resulted in several matches across several tables. Sorry, I don't remember which tables, but the "menu_links" table was the one I had to manually clean to get my problem solved.

In the meantime, I tried the JobTrack module, which works perfectly on my D6 site for my purposes.

I'm unable to reproduce this behavior. To me it seems like a the menu cache needed to be cleared - which should happen automatically when you disable the module. Leaving this open and I'd certainly like to know if anyone else encounters this.

Jeff, if it helps here is what I've done:

  1. Unchecked all (two) checkable modules of the "Case Tracker" module group on admin/build/modules:
    [ ] Case Tracker
    [ ] CT Basic
     X  (CT Mail: This version is incompatible with the 6.9 version of Drupal core.)
    and clicked [ Save configuration ]
  2. Checked the same two modules on admin/build/modules/uninstall
    and clicked [ Uninstall ]
  3. To be sure, cleared the cache on admin/settings/performance, cleared all browser's cache and re-logged in. The "Project" and "Case" links still appeared on the "Create content" page (node/add)
  4. A search through all tables of the Drupal MySQL database showed that there were still some rows added by Case Tracker in the tables "menu_links", "cache_menu" and some others which I don't remember anymore.
  5. I manually removed the associated rows from the "menu_links" table and cleared the cache at admin/settings/performance afterwards. That made the dead links on the "Create content" page to disappear. The "cache_menu" table also no more contained traces of the "Case Tracker" module.

Cheers,
rob.

I'm cleaning the module issues, so if somebody thinks that this issue does make sense yet, feel free to reopen.
