Deleting Images
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hi C5DK
We're testing out your blog for as a wiki-page. This works great so far! Thanks for maintaining this project!
One question came up: How can a blog-user delete a image that he uploaded on mistake or don't want anymore. Is there something I miss?
The only answer to ourselve was, that he should contact the administrator for deleting this in the file-manager.
And a second thing we recognized: If the option for image generation is set to "asynchron" - there is no thumbnail after uploading an image. After saving and re-opening the blog it's there. Perhaps this needs a refresh method to fetch the thumbnail generated in the background.
best regards, Roland

Hi Michael
Totally understand the difficulty for creating a safe solution.
These are my thoughts:
A C5DK Blog user sees a 'delete' icon (x) for each item he has in his siedbar-library. If he decides to delete one item (often uploaded the wrong version) it hides the image from his library.
Technically it could change the user-rights to the administrator (or a role based on a setting) and moves the image to a folder 'trash-c5dk' in the file-manager.
This wouldn't brake existing content. But gives the blog user some control to clean up his view. The admin could then do the manual clean up based on the images that are in this folder.

Hi,
This seem a viable approach. I'll think about it and see if it's the right solution.

If you upgrade to latest C5DK Blog version (8.4.0), you will see that the functionality you want is added. Blog users will now be able to "remove" images in the user image manager. The image is not deleted, but moved to a "trash" file set and at the same time moved to a trash folder underneath the C5DK Blog folder in concrete5 file manager.
Happy blogging!

We have actually thought a lot about this and we are still searching for a fail safe solution. You see, there is a problem in this. If we did go for a straight delete function, we would have a problem if a user decided to delete all images (including all images already published). That would be bad.
So, at the moment the only solution is to contact the administrator. Sorry...
