972533 - Add admin page listing all deleted pages offering undelete options

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

What problems would this solve?
===============================
Currently, to undelete a page, you have to know its URL and visit the page to get a "restore" option. We need to be able to undelete pages even if we don't remember the exact location.

Who would use this?
===================
Admins.

What would users see?
=====================
Admins would have an option in the django admin panel that would present a list of all deleted pages, offering the ability to view them, plus checkboxes to select which ones to undelete, plus a restore button that will restore all the selected pages.

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
See above.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================

Fix bug 972533: Enhancements to admin handling of deleted pages.

This adds a new manager to Document, which does not perform any
filtering based on deleted status, and uses that manager for the
admin; this ensures the admin always shows all Documents currently in
the database.

Building on that, the admin filters now include one to show only
deleted Documents.

The admin actions for Document are also updated:

* A new "purge" action is added, to bulk-purge deleted Documents.

* A new "undelete" action is added, to bulk-undelete deleted
  Documents.

* The built-in Django "delete" action is removed, since we want people
  using the standard deletion UI (and because the admin delete action
  bypasses the model delete() method, which is not what we want for
  deleting Documents).
