Howdy. Could we get some more feedback when deleting items? It would be nice if it said what graph/data source/etc we're removing in the confirmation box. On a hi-res monitor it can be hard to line up the "remove" link with the proper item. Having alternating colors (maybe a very light gray) in the rows wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks !

It's quite easy to improve. I can't give you exact line numbers to change because I have heavily modified cacti on my server. Let's take as an example removing DS. In ds.php you need to find line "case 'remove':". Here starts removal procedure. There is the following line inside:

Code:
DrawConfirmForm("Are You Sure?", "Are you sure you want to delete this data source?", $current_script_name, "?action=remove&id=$id");


You need to retrieve a name of DS before displaying the question and put it inside. So the above line should be changed like this:

Code:
$sql_id = mysql_query("select name from rrd_ds where id=$id", $cnn_id);
$rem_name = mysql_result($sql_id, 0, "name");
DrawConfirmForm("Are You Sure?", "Are you sure you want to delete \"" . $rem_name . "\"?", $current_script_name, "?action=remove&id=$id");


Similar changes should be applied for other sections like removing graphs, data inputs, etc. You only need to use proper table name and column name.

Like bulek said, this is one change that is not too difficult to make. However I do understand why it makes sense to do this since it gives you that *extra* confirmation when deleting something. The next version will do this.
