889880 - Disabled themes are showing in search results

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Amy Tsay [:amyt]]

Here is the message I got from user twisfowt:

Fifteen (15) of my personas/themes deleted from getpersonas site prior to the migration still have entries on AMO. The gallery image is blank but there is a link to the large preview where there is a message "...disabled by an administrator".

With the new hover-to-add, the deleted theme is added to the addon appearance page but only the accent/background color is rendered; it appears the graphics have been deleted but not the pointers.

You can search for "MacPro" to see several of them. They also show up on on the Manage page, where I have a total of 153, but not on the Developer page, where I have only 138 - the difference of 15 in limbo.

Since I can't access or delete these I'm hoping you can. if not I guess they will become part of the immense internet dangling data dilemma.

The 15 in question are:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... cproblue1/
macproblue2
macprogreen4
macprogrey
macpropurple2
macpropurple3
macpromaroon
macpromaroon2
macproorange
macprored2
macsortagreen
macsortapurple
mactbargold

Comment from kmaglione: "So the problem seems to be that the disabled personas show up in search results. It makes sense that there are only colors but no images (the colors are part of the persona JSON, the images are on our CDN, and we remove them when we disable an add-on). It also makes sense that they show up in the developer pages but not the user-facing pages."

Since AmyT filed this bug based on my report, I'm posting now to say that sometime over the last few days the primary problem - that these deleted/disabled-by-admin themes show up in search - is no longer the case. They are still there in the developer aspect, but that is not a significant problem. So far as I can see this bug now has zero importance and can be closed. - twisfowt
