apparently no string exist for an eventual error message

apparently no string exist for an eventual error message

and that's the main obstacle.

Sounds like an easy fix then for someone with access to insert the string, then.

4.8.8 polish stuff?

@Bloke @bloatware - viable candidate for 4.8.8?

[Bloke]

Yep.

This seems to work after your patch (5417c88). Attempting to delete a category with child categories or with articles assigned now returns a notification message flagging the failure.

One might quibble about the type of message. Currently I see a warning (amber). Trying to delete a section with articles on the other hand returns an error(red).

Fair enough, done, thanks.
