Identifying and Removing Redundant Images

[donplay]

Hi GSIS,

I'm running into the same issue -- could I get a copy of that script you created to delete images that have been disabled or deleted? Would really appreciate it...I tried to create one based on the last accessed date in unix but since I backup the entire folder every night the time stamps are off.

thanks,
Don

Does anyone know if this will work on 1.3.8a? I'd love to upgrade this site to the most current version, but the wish list module is a must have for my client and it doesn't work in newer versions.
Thanks
Jim

Yes it will.
But you should really be upgrading since your site has security problems when using that very old version.

ZC 1.5.1

Ran this utility on the images folder - all ok, great script.

My client's site has the product images organized in categories eg images/mens, images/sarongs, images/kaftans etc.

Instead of changing the path to the directory to clean every time, would this work if I set

$imagedirectory = "images/*";

so it checks and cleans all subdirectories in one cron run?

If not, how could this be implemented?

Thank you so much for this plugin. I should have found this years ago. One question, when running the cron job, and viewing the files, I am noticing that the files displayed are the in the images folder. However I would like to clear out the LRG and MED images as well. Can you tell me what I am missing so that I can view the MED and LRG files since they are the real space hoggers on my server?

Can we run this without a cron job. Just run it when we need to?

I have run this as a job several times and get the same list of images. I note the description says it will "optionally" delete the images. How do I do that, or optionally, move them to a different directory where I can move all off the site?

Hi, just found this script and I'm finding it useful for my site, but I have noticed the script is reporting some of my extra images (the ones named xx_01.jpg, xx_02.jpg) as being orphaned even if the main image and product is still used.

So I've made a tweak to the code (see below) hope someone finds it useful!
Please note, I've tested it on my site and it works but I've only one site to test on!
It searches for underscore then 2 digits, so shouldn't affect image names containing underscores.


Between line 109 and 110, add the preg_replace, this strips the numbers after the _ in the extra image names.

  // strip zen extra file upload underscaore and number
      if (preg_replace('/_[0-9]{2}/', '', $subject)) {
       $subjectNew = preg_replace('/_[0-9]{2}/', '', $subject);
         } else {
          $subjectNew = $subject;
         } 

Then replace line 114 (change $subject to $subjectNew) so the query searches for the filename without the _ suffix and retains the $subject var for use further on in script.

$result = $db->Execute( "SELECT products_id, products_status, products_image FROM " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " WHERE products_image = '" . zen_db_input($subjectNew ) ."'" );

Image Purge has been updated to use the additional images processing from the core to identify (and not report as orphans) additional images.
