Hi Peter, I created a custom attribute that I no longer need. When I try to delete the attribute from the DMX > Admin > Global Attributes menu, I receive the following critical error: "A critical error has occurred. The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_dnn_DMX_EntryAttributes_Attributes". The conflict occurred in database "DotNetNuke7", table "dbo.dnn_DMX_EntryAttributes", column 'AttributeId'. The statement has been terminated." Any suggestions for how to remove this attribute so it doesn't clutter the UI when new documents are uploaded? Many thanks! -jed

Hi Jed, A quick way out of this is to remove all records from DMX_EntryAttributes with an AttributeID of the attribute you want to delete (which is in the DMX_Attributes table). I'll make a note to repair the logic. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
