[chandler-users] Don't Delete Collections that Have Subscriptions!

[Bobby Rullo]

Hi all,

Priss and I uncovered a fairly serious bug in the Cosmo UI - if you  
are subscribed to a collection in Cosmo UI and someone deletes that  
collection you cannot get to the calendar anymore, and there is no  
easy fix through the account browser or DAV.

So if you give people a bookmarkable URL don't delete that collection  
or else you will ruin anyone's account who has subscribed to it.

For those who have a ruined account and are somewhat savvy (aren't we  
all?) you can do the following:

	1) go to the calendar page (https://osaf.us/cosmo/pim) - it will  
hang at the "Processing..." stage
	2) Figure out the Collection Id and ticket key of the thing you  
subscribed to. If your bookmarkable url looked like this:

		https://osaf.us/cosmo/pim/collection/edbf0972- 
b5d6-442d-8de1-728307b053f7?ticket=dtzzvhe5z0

	then your collection id is "edbf0972-b5d6-442d-8de1-728307b053f7"  
and your ticket key is "dtzzvhe5z0"

	3) type the following into the address bar
	
		javascript:Cal.serv.deleteSubscription("<<collection  
id>>","<<ticketKey>>")

Obviously (I hope) replace the bracketed bits with the appropriate  
value. Don't forget yer quotes.

	4) Hit return. You should see a page that just says "null"
	5) Try accessing your calendar again.

These instructions have only been tested in Firefox. Not sure how  
well they work in other browsers....
