Description
when an account is removed, this leaves references to the uid that no longer exists.
a few options for this.
-
ProjectRole node type author can be set to the user as they don't have edit access to this type. This should remove it on user_delete. This has the same downside as the next, which will may need to be implemented anyways.
-
hook_user_delete. Manually sponge out nodes with fields of user reference.
caveats
- You can still have invalid uid's if they are removed directly from the db
- Will need to be updated if additional types are added or removed.
- cron script to perform period sanity scrub.
- will also need to be updated for changes
- time delay, depending on frequency
