Delete files problem

[Dan-G]

I have deleted various files in the phpwcms file manager and click 'remove delete files' in admin but they do not go to 'can_be_deleted' folder. I have permissions set at 777 for filearchive and can_be_deleted folder.

Eek! Have now run out of web space!

1. Clear the trashcan in filemanager
2. "remove delete files" in admin

Ah there we go. So simple... Thank you!

[Dan-G]

I am raising this thread again because I have just had another client complain that they have exceeded their disk space despite having deleted all their files.

WHY on earth is it necessary to have FOUR steps to delete a file?!

1. Delete in file manager
2. Empty trash
3. Remove deleted files in Admin
4. Empty can be deleted folder via FTP

phpwcms is great for it's easy usability but this is just patently ridiculous! This process should end at step 2. I just cannot expect a client to go through all those steps.

ok, rant over... anyone got a fix?!

Would it help?

This would help everyone I bet! One-click-easy-go!

[Dan-G]

That would be brilliant!

Do these custom links exist?!

[flip-flop]

Yes it does.

I will publish it this weekend.

Have a look: Custom links in "home"

Complete package: without any hack!!!!
- new startupX.php
- language files
- A passive file browser with some extensions
- act_fileX.php -> “delete all files from filecenter trash can”

Hey Knut,

Thanks for this. Works really nicely.

I did have to make some changes in startupX.php as it was not working finding the correct language. I made it include 'startupX_en.php' directly, which works fine for my purposes.

Code: Select all

// ====== Load the right backend custom language file =================== 

	include(PHPWCMS_ROOT.'/include/inc_ext/be_special/lang/backend/en/lang.inc.php');

// ====== Set up the right container around the output ===================

echo '<h1 class="title" style="margin: 0pt;">'.$BL["be_custom_link_title"].'</h1>';
echo '<div style="border:1px solid #ccc;padding:1px; margin-top:5px; background: #FFFEEF;">';

// ====== Load language sensitive startupX_YY file ===================

if (is_file(PHPWCMS_ROOT.'/include/inc_ext/be_special/startupX_en.php')) // language sensitive file?
	include(PHPWCMS_ROOT.'/include/inc_ext/be_special/startupX_en.php'); // reads the new startup file

Thanks again.
Dan
