Unable to hard delete an Item

Im not even sure where that is coming from, cause Showcase doesn't have a message like that. The closes it has is

Phrase: nflj_showcase_please_enter_message_with_no_more_than_x_characters

HTML:

Please enter a message with no more than {count} characters on Tab {tab}
<br />
Tab {tab} message is over by {over} characters

Do you have any addons that have a Minimum character setting for Threads/Posts maybe? It could be that when you are attempting to delete a showcase with an associated discussion thread and then showcase makes a post to that threads saying that it has been removed, the Datawriter is throwing an error for minimum character count because the message is less than 60 characters long.

 

I found this addon that has the exact phrase you posted: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/minimum-post-length-enforcer.1792/

The message that showcase posts to a thread upon hard delete is less than 60 characters in length.

edit the Phrase: nflj_showcase_item_has_been_removed

and change: "This showcase item has been removed." to a sentence that has at least 60 characters in it and then run a test. I just tried it and it worked for me.
