remove uploaded data from database and files from server

Hello,

(Using cmsb 2.13 and membership 1.06)

Is any way to remove selected images from the database?

i listed my section like:

list($accomRecords, $accomMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'accoms',
'where' => "owner='".mysql_escape(@$CURRENT_USER['num'])."'",
'allowSearch' => false,
'loadUploads' => true,
// 'debugSql' => true,
));
$accomRecord = @$accomRecords[0];
// showme($accomRecord);


and displayed the items like:

<?php foreach ($accomRecord['acc_photos'] as $upload): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" rel="prettyPhoto">
<img src="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?>">
</a>
<ul class="action-list">
<li>
Actions
</li>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" rel="prettyPhoto">view</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">delete</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<?php endforeach ?>


how can i trigger and delete selected images from the 'uploads' table and remove the files from the server?

i found only very few posts in the forum about this very important part and nowhere the right answer.

Please advise,
Karls

Hi,

Here is one approach you can take.

First, you have the "delete" link re-load the current page with the record num of the upload record in the url string like this:

<?php foreach ($accomRecord['acc_photos'] as $upload): ?>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" rel="prettyPhoto">
<img src="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?>">
</a>
<ul class="action-list">
<li>
Actions
</li>
<li>
<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" rel="prettyPhoto">view</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="?removeUpload=<?php echo $upload['num'];?>">delete</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<?php endforeach ?>


Then, near the top of your page (before any getRecords call), you can remove the upload like this:

if (@$_REQUEST['removeUpload']) {
removeUploads("num = '".mysql_escape($_REQUEST['removeUpload'])."'");
}


Hope this helps

Hi,

Yes, if you can create a MySQL UPDATE query for any given record, using that records num field as a unique identifier.
