phpwcms Support Forum

We have several website's running for a few years now. We are increasingly exposed to how we can remove multiple files at once from the FILE section.
Or how to remove a folder witch is not empty?
This is because site-managers are not happy if they have to delete pictures one by one
I read a topic on this subject that was written in 2006 Is there any development about this case?
I hope so, because this is increasingly a breakpoint is to use phpwcms

This must be the documentation that you're talking about?
http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/manage_files.phtml

I don't know of a way to do what you are wanting sadly but I have not be actively using phpWCMS as much as I used to.

Well, there is still no build in solution, only a (simple) workaround, but only in german yet.
Additionally you (your user) needs to edit the database i.e. via mysql.

I will try to post an english tutorial and maybe my hack for the backend.

Thanks Cipolla. I am interested in your solution. Preferably English, but German is also good

Does anyone know if it is in development? Maybe Oliver??
I think it would be a big step forward. And many users are waiting for it

be warned:

If you delete sql Entries that'll be no real gain, the only thing lost is the realtion inbetween files and their names. Much better : An extra script which deletes the uploaded "mother files" as it is done.

Perhaps cipolla has something like this behind the scenes..,.

even possible with tem script, deleted after work.

Hello.

Is there in the meantime a solution to this problem?
If not, can I get the workaround of Cipolla?

An integrated solution is really necessary.
My users find it very annoying when they have to remove images one by one !!
I have many schools as customers and they use many images in various photo albums.

Hi,

since r514 r529 there is a new feature in file center called "file action".
Using this point you can
delete/move/change status/change owner
files.

Where do I find this one (using R524)

Oh sorry, since r529.

File actions in file center, quick move, delete, status change, owner change
