Hi there,

I've knocked up a banner management area using DataObjectManager within SiteConfig (with various hints and tips from this forum) and it works perfectly, or should I say WORKED perfectly until today during some testing. When I go to delete an image it 'deletes' fine from within the DataObjectManager but when I browse to the folder the images are stored in, they are still there. I can only remove them by either manually deleting them from the folder or from within 'Files & Images'.

As adding a DataObjectManager in SiteConfig has proven troublesome, I thought it might be an issue to do with that so I redid the code as a simple BannerPage but the problem still exists.

Here is the code - please help as this is driving me nuts!

<-- Banner2.php -->

<?php

class BannerImage2 extends DataObject
{
   static $db = array (
   );

   static $has_one = array (
      'myImage2' => 'Image',
      'BannerPage' => 'BannerPage'
   );

   public function getCMSFields_forPopup()
   {
         $upload = new ImageUploadField('myImage2', 'Upload Banner Image');
         $upload->removeFolderSelection();
         $upload->uploadFolder = 'BannerImages2';
         return new FieldSet($upload);

   }
   
   public function getThumb()
   {
      if($this->myImage2ID)
      return $this->myImage2()->setWidth(400);
      else
      return '(No Image)';
   }
}

<-- BannerPage.php -->

<?php

class BannerPage extends Page {

static $has_many = array(
         'Images' => 'BannerImage2'
   );

public function getCMSFields() {

   $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
   $fields->removeFieldFromTab("Root.Content.Main","Content");
   $fields->addFieldsToTab("Root.Content.Main", new DataObjectManager(
         $this,
         'Images',
         'BannerImage2',
         array('Thumbs'=>'Upload Image'),
         'getCMSFields_forPopup'
         ));
   
   return $fields;
   
   }
}

class BannerPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {

}

One last little note to help you all to help me, if you click on the record and then delete the image from within the popup, it does physically delete the image but then I am left with an empty record which I have to manually delete.

If I just delete the record on its own, it seems to just remove the link to the image rather than the image itself.

Thanks for getting back to me UncleCheese. I think I understand what you mean but how would I go about using the onAfterDelete() hook?

Cheers

can you share your code for the solution for onAfterDelete() hook thanks
