Hello All,
Extremely new to SilverStripe (3 days actually), but have been watching the progress for the past 1 1/2 years. I am very impressed with the project and concepts.
Now for the noob question. I come from other CMS systems and so I am trying to adjust my mindset to SilverStripe. All my work at the moment is locally hoping to go live in a day or two. I realize that installing/uninstalling modules just isn't something that should be done on a regular basis within SilverStripe. But, I was wondering, what is the suggested, recommended procedure for uninstalling modules? Silly question, huh?
On my development box, I installed the Forum module, required for the Google Map module which I wanted to evaluate. I realized that I do not have the need for a Forum and the Google Map functionality was not what I was looking for. Next step, lets remove the Forum and Google Maps modules. OK, duh, how?
I backed up the DB, removed the Forum tables, deleted the Forum folders (moved actually) and then flushed the database. Everything appears to be normal. But I just wanted to know . . . . . What is the recommended, suggested way to removing modules?
My concern is, there's a good chance that maybe something in the DB might get overlooked, say an addition for a new field in a core table?
I have looked for anything about uninstalling/removing modules, coming up blank in the forums. Only uninstalling SilverStripe itself, not the direction I want to go. Even looked for documentation from module installation files, no mention about how to remove the module.
I'm probably missing some basic understanding here, doh. But I would appreciate anything that someone can pass onto me.
Thanks in advance.
