Is it possible to use this for things other than content? I see this as a way we can get our generic recycle bin, if you're willing to provide that ;)

Hey Greg,

Not at present, but I did write it with that later potential in mind, e.g. naming the existing table and functions accordingly for node-specificity so as to allow room for later genericity (if that makes sense :-))

Which things are you specifically interested in? This, of course, goes back to The Question, i.e. whether everything in Drupal should be a node or not :-)

Greg, I hope I'm not being overly presumptuous, but I've just granted you CVS access to the project in case you wish to collaborate directly on this in some form.

Well, I don't know how much I'd be able to help. My specific case is for Pathauto - I'd like to be able to delete old aliases and have the ability to bring them back if the user changes their minds...

This is a few years old.
Is this still requested?

If so, I can add this to a todo list for a drupal 7 2.x version of killfile after the 1.x is released for drupal 7.

Otherwise I am going to close this in a few weeks.

Is this alright Arto?

Title: killfile for non-content » killfile for url aliases
Version: 6.x-1.x-dev » 7.x-1.x-dev
Component: Miscellaneous » Code
Category: task » feature

I think it would be nice to have still. Updating version, component, and category to better reflect reality.

Okay, then this will be looked into following the stable 7.x-1.x release.

I am thinking the solution is to write a library that handles delete states in drupal and then write two separate modules that use it:
- killfile 7.x-2.x
- killalias 7.x-1.x

Perhaps I should call the library libmafia?

Edit: make that 3 modules:
- killfields 7.x-1.x (see https://drupal.org/node/1059134)

I am closing this because I do not see myself getting around to doing this at all.
