Re: Unable to delete alias

Sorry about this trouble. It's a known bug in iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.9.2, and fixed in the new release immediately follows it: iRedAdmin-Pro-SQL-2.0 (and later releases).

here's patch to fix it:

-                <td class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" name="username" value="{{ address }}" /></td>
+                <td class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" name="mail" value="{{ address }}" /></td>
                 <td>
                     <a href="{{ctx.homepath}}/profile/alias/general/{{address}}"><img src="{{ctx.homepath}}/static/{{skin}}/images/action_edit.png" class="fr-space" title="{{ _('Edit account profile') }}" /></a>
                     {{ set_account_status_img(r.active) }}

BTW, iRedAdmin-Pro-MySQL-1.9.2 is too old, you should upgrade both iRedMail and iRedAdmin-Pro to the latest stable releases.

Re: Unable to delete alias

Sorry for the basic question - but how do I implement this patch exactly?

For upgrading to the latest releases, as you know, there have been alot of modifications and configuration changes done to our setup and it has been working very well lately. Do you still recommend upgrading? and would this affect all of the customizations and configuration changes done to date?

Thanks as always!

This patch is very simple, if you compare the lines with '-' and '+' at the beginning, you can see we just changed one word (from 'name="username"' to 'name="mail"'), so you can update this file manually.

if you have many modifications and configuration changes, it might be hard for you to upgrade iRedMail and iRedAdmin-Pro. But it depends on what you actually modified. Would you mind sharing some more details of your modifications?

Re: Unable to delete alias

I have made this change manually as directed but still unable to delete the alias.
Is there anything else that needs to be done?

Re: Unable to delete alias

Did you restart Apache service after modified the file (templates/default/mysql/alias/list.html)?

Re: Unable to delete alias

It should be fixed if you correctly modified the HTML file. Could you please show me output of command below:

grep 'input type=' templates/default/mysql/alias/list.html

Re: Unable to delete alias

Weird, it should fix your issue.
Do you plan to upgrade iRedMail to the latest release? and iRedAdmin-Pro?

Re: Unable to delete alias

Yes, but we will need assistance in the upgrade to ensure the stability is continued.
