Admin Recycle Bin Addon for CS-Cart

The Admin Recycle Bin Addon for CS-Cart is a useful feature that adds functionality to hold temporarily deleted items within an admin panel, thus allowing the possibility of recovering accidentally removed or deleted items by an admin. Here is a feature overview, benefits, and technical details about this module:

Key Features of the Admin Recycle Bin Addon

1. Automatic Item Backup on Deletion:
   • When an admin deletes products, categories, pages, or other key entities in the store, this module automatically transfers those items to the Recycle Bin instead of permanently removing them.
2. Easy Restore Functionality:
   • Items deleted can be restored to their former state with a single click. It thus provides easy recovery of accidentally deleted data.
3. Bulk Restore and Deletion Options:
   • Admins can select multiple items in the Recycle Bin and either restore or permanently delete them at once. This saves much time, especially when working with a large volume of items.
4. Customisable Retention Period:
   • Admins can set a specific number of days (e.g., 30 days, 60 days) for which deleted items will be kept in the Recycle Bin. Items that have passed this period are permanently removed to optimise database usage.
5. Detailed Item Information:
   • All the items in the Recycle Bin are provided with such metadata ( item type, product,page,order,etc.,) and a date of deletion, along with other metadata that allow an administrator to immediately select which one he wants to restore.
6. User Access Control and Permissions:
   • In this module, it is set that items shall be restored and only deleted or permanently removed by authenticated users.
7. Optimized for Database Performance:
   • The module is also optimised to minimise the database load. Old items are automatically purged based on the retention period, so the database is lean and fast.
8. Activity Logs and Notifications:
   • All activities in the Recycle Bin (e.g., restoring or permanently deleting items) can be accessed as an audit trail for tracking purposes. Administrators can also configure alerts for
     specific activities.
