Delete Files

How do you delete uploaded files

With the File Genie PHP Extension you can delete uploaded files. Imagine you have a folder with images on your server, but some of the images are no longer needed. You can now display the files on a page and delete them with one click!

How to do it

•  Open page

  Open your php file where you want to list all the files and have the option to delete them.

•  First apply the Folder List Behavior

  You will find the Folder List Server Behavior under Bindings, Folder List.
  
  
  
  1. In the Folder List Name enter the name of this Folder List object.
  2. In Folder Browse to the folder that holds the files you would like to display.
  3. By Allowed Extensions you can choose which files you want to display. In this case Images only.
  
  

• Click OK

  To apply the Folder List behavior click OK.
  A message box appears to tell you that the file called incFileGenie.php has been copied to your site in the ScriptLibrary folder. Click OK.

•  Make layout of page

  1. Insert a table with 1 row and 2 columns.
  2. In the first column enter a link to click to delete the file. Can be text or an image.
  3. Click in the second column, open up the Bindings panel and click on the + sign next to FolderList.
  Select Name and Click on Insert. This will put the name of the file in the cell.
  
  

• Apply Repeat

  What you have done so far will only show one file on your page. To actually show all the image files in the images folder you need to apply the Folder List Repeater Server Behavior.
  
  1. To apply the Folder List Repeater select the row for repeating.
  2. Open up Folder List Repeater. You will find this behavior under Server Behaviors, DMXzone, File Genie, Folder List Repeater.
