Current process after one for example has enabled say devel
and devel_generate
:
- Go to
/admin/modules
- Uncheck "Devel Generate" ("Devel" is locked)
- Hit "Save configuration" -> page refreshes, now "Devel" is unlocked
- Uncheck "Devel"
- Hit "Save configuration" -> page refreshes, both "Devel Generate" and "Devel" are disabled
- Go to
/admin/modules/uninstall
- Check "Devel Generate" ("Devel" is locked)
- Hit "Uninstall" -> you get redirected to the confirmation page
- Hit "Uninstall" again -> you get redirected back to
/admin/modules/uninstall
, now "Devel" is unlocked - Check "Devel"
- Hit "Uninstall" -> you get redirected to the confirmation page
- Hit "Uninstall" again -> you get redirected back to
/admin/modules/uninstall
OMG, finally!!! ...and this is only with one level of dependency. Imagine if you had a devel_generate_extras
module installed that depended on devel_generate
and you wanted to disable devel
. That would make devel_generate
be locked until devel_generate_extras
was disabled/uninstalled and then devel
would still be locked until devel_generate
was disabled/uninstalled. O-M-G!!!
How I envision this to work ideally:
- Go to
/admin/modules
-> "Devel" is not locked - Uncheck "Devel" -> dialog pops up explaining that this module is required by "Devel Generate" (and any other modules down the chain) and that means that these will need to be disabled too.
- The dialog also offers a "Also uninstall these modules after disabling them" checkbox that is unchecked by default
- Confirm -> dialog closes and there are indicators (red status text, asterisks, what-have-you) next to all modules queued for disabling.
- Hit "Save configuration" -> progress bar shows the progress of disabling and uninstalling all queued modules. -> you get redirected to
/admin/modules/uninstall
that has a report of which modules were disabled and which were uninstalled, giving you the option to uninstall any that are just disabled.
Compare 5 steps (no matter the complexity of dependencies) vs. at least 12 steps with one level of dependencies. Now, that's something I'd like so see fixed in the next minor release.
