When You have a weblink where You have made some text and an image - and You then later "delete" or replace the image, then You no longer have an entry in the database, but You still have the image in the image-folder in Admidio-files/weblinks.
By time there could be many of these orphaned images.
Could there be a routine where these orphaned images were presented, and You had the possibility with a red X, to delete them ?
Orphaned images in web-links
Re: Orphaned images in web-links
You are right. That's a problem. But therefore we must identify the ophaned images. This will be the challenge. After that we could delete them without user input.
But until now we doesn't have a routine to identify them.

Hello fasse
I will test some in the downloads - I mean I have seen something there.
I mean to have seen some entries that was presented as not belonging to a download and that could be deleted by clicking a red X.
But I am not sure - maybe this is another story ?

Re: Orphaned images in web-links
I tried to FTP a file to download folder.
Then - when I in ADMIDIO look in this folder, then there in the bottom is a list ( well - there is only one but there could have been more )
On top of the list it says "Nicht verwaltete Dateien"
I was wrong about the red X - there is a possibility "Zur Danenbank Hinzufügen".
But for the web-links it could be a red X AND/OR - a possibility to "Remove all Orphaned ?"

Re: Orphaned images in web-links
Yes, I know the feature within the download module, but this is a complete different function because within the download module every file has a reference in the database and if not we could show them as you described.
The uploaded images have no reference in the database. They have a text link within a full text. And there are also some other differences ...
But yes it's possible to implement this feature but there must be someone who writes this new routine ...

Re: Orphaned images in web-links
Hello Fasse
I have tried to use the photo-module, but here I ran into some other troubles - so I was forced to stay with the weblinks.
I then had an expert to help me, with the technical stuff ( the author of the great free web-calendar LuxCal
http://www.luxsoft.eu/ ).
We have made a script that identifies ( and deletes when wanted ) files that is not "mentioned" in the database or files that are not image-files.
The script is for weblinks/images but could very easily be adapted to announcements/images and dates/images.
The pin-code in the script can be edited so no unwanted can delete the files.
The script can be renamed so no unwanted can start the script ( at least he has to find the name ).
The script should reside in the ADMIDIO folder ( or be modified reg. the rel. paths)
It would be great if you would implement the script in ADMIDIO, and eventually put it where the backup-routine is, or make a maintenance routine, where you could start 3 scripts ( weblinks, announcements and dates ) with pin-codes delivered from a setting in ADMIDIO.
I attach the script - feel free to use it in ADMIDIO. Now that I have followed your call to make a script, I hope you will follow mine - to implement the script in ADMIDIO.
The script is tested.
Kind regards
Schwartz

Re: Orphaned images in web-links
Hi Schwarz,
thanks for the script, but this is a separate script/function that is not integrated within our Admidio logic. You could create a plugin zip file and we can host this plugin on our page if you like.
To implement a function in Admidio implement you logic if we delete an entry. Than scan the description and delete the file. Therefore I create an issue https://github.com/Admidio/admidio/issues/683
Best regards

Re: Orphaned images in web-links
Hello Fasse
I think it could be a good idea, to have it in plugins, as it could help those who use the weblinks.
I will then make some text as a proposal to what could be the text for this "plugin" - should I proceed on this thread or use the message system ?
Even when you in future will delete the files when deleting a database entry, the problem will still be there. When you have an entry and then on that entry simply delete an image ( deliberately or not deliberately ) then the name is no more in the entry but the image file is still there. So the problem is not solved 100 %
And my solution is only a 100 % solution for those who ONLY uses the weblinks and not the dates and announcements.
If the cleaning should be 100 % then all 3 should be covered. If I make 3 routines or one routine to cover it all - is there some rules that should be followed ? As it is now, the script should be run from the admidio folder - should it be from a adm_plugins/cleaning folder or is the admidio folder OK ?
Is it okay to have it only in English as it is now ?
Will You deliver the script in the ADMIDIO package or do people have to download separately ?
As I see it, the script will not be sensitive in case of new versions, but will be functional also in the future, and I think it will be a good idea to have it as a long-living ADMIDIO product. If you agree I will try to make it "nice" and "correct"- else I will make no more, or maybe a quick-and-dirty and simply make 2 edited copies for the dates and announcements.
Kind regards
