Make Comment Purging Warning More Informative

[schestowitz]

(nightly 25-02-2006) When viewing comments in 'mass edit' mode, deletion of comments is a common and risky task. However, the prompt that appears when deleting all selected items does not include the number of selected items. I suggest making it more verbose. User confidence and usability could be improved here, in line with other applications, e.g. mail clients.

+1.

Patch working fine on my local install.

There's a minor issue, I guess, with the plural form of "comment" when deleting just one comment, although why a user would check use the mass editing mode to delete just one comment I don't know.

Also, whilst changing this it struck me as a bit strange that the form can be submitted when there are 0 comments checked. Perhaps with this new functionality we can do

if(numchecked == 0) return false; else return confirm("blah blah...");

?

Second patch implementing checking for no checkboxes checked (check!)

Second patch added that alerts the user if there are no checkboxes selected when they try to mass-delete.

Thanks for the patch, Rob.

May it be the first of many, hopefully :)
