Delete Uploaded files when order is deleted

[marknew]

Hi,

is there a way to have the customers uploaded files deleted from the server when the order is deleted? We are using the upload attribute but i can see a problem with the files bulding up on the server.

Thanks Zen gurus!

As you must download these files to fulfill the order, you have them locally

I would save them locally for XX period, but once downloaded they can be removed from the server
Maybe at the same time as when you download them

Thanks,
I am using the mod - "Customer Uploaded Files - List and Download" which lets admin download the file from a link without them needing to use FTP. So i am trying to avoid admin needing to use FTP to delete the images as well. If the order image(s) could be deleted when the order is deleted would solve this problem.


Cheers.

I am using the mod - "Customer Uploaded Files

If that feature is not builtin to the module, one would have to custom code it to do so

Thats not built into the module but the image upload is part of zencart.
An uploaded image is linked to an order so there must be a way to have the linked image deleted when the order is deleted?

Yes but as not yest a feature it will require custom code it to do so

Any idea where the delete an order code is? Or where the cusstom code would need to go?

It would likely be called by /admin/orders.php, since that's the name of the file you see in your browser when the delete button is presented to you.
