Product Images - Clean up unused images ?

[kalestud]

The plugin from Studio42 really works wonders!
Two additions to clear things up about this plugin:

1 After installing the plugin, as usual, go to your plugins menu and search for 'vmmedia'. Enable the vmmedia_clear plugin to allow itself to show in the Virtuemart Media Files section.

2 Go to Virtuemart > Media Files and first apply a filter to the shown results from the pulldown (e.g. Product, Product Category, Manufacturer or Vendor). Then click the clear button to remove obsolete files or database entries.

That description would help ;-)

Hi,

I tried installing Studio 42's plugin, and have enabled it - but the buttons never show?
As mention here, I have also tried changing the filter to Products or Product Categories, but still no buttons?

Any suggestions?

We use VM 3.0.16 and J3.6.2 on PHP 7.0.9 (and now also just tried PHP 5.6.24 as a test - same result).

Cheers

Hmm .. just tried and can confirm I can't get the buttons to show either

It used to work not sure what changed

VM3.0.16/J3.6.2/php7

Hi henrik,
I tested on a fresh install :
VM 3.0.14 and joomla 3.5 : OK
VM 3.0.16 and joomla 3.5 : OK
VM 3.0.16 and joomla 3.6 : OK
VM 3.0.16 and joomla 3.6.2 : OK
The direct link to see the 2 buttons is YOURSITE/administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=media
If you need a better tool, i have now added the feature in Vm Be Pro http://shop.st42.fr/en/products/vm-be-pro-batch-product-edit.htm and delete only selected files.
Regards,
Patrick

I don't tested php7. But the code is not so complex to have php dependencies

I found a potential way to not see the buttons.
if(!$user->get('isRoot') ) return; check for administrator, so if you are not super user in Joomla, you don't see the buttons.

Hi Patrick,

yes.. with

#if(!$user->get('isRoot') ) return;

they show -- but am definitely a superuser although not shop owner or vendor

logged in as shop owner / super admin they still don't show with the above code in place 

apparently broken in 3.6.2

Sometime, you have stupid Joomla coder. Same problem as mail bug, minor release and remove statut of a value used since Joomla 1.5 that was universal !
I use this in some other case, so now i have to modify other codes too for a so little unneeded change.

Hi! the plugin thingy did he job!

Hi! Is it possible to add a new function to remove unused media entries (and files) that are not assigned to any product or cat or anything?

You have 2 button, one remove the entries, one remove the files

Else to search and check files before and select what you want to remove

If you need a better tool, i have now added the feature in Vm Be Pro http://shop.st42.fr/en/products/vm-be-pro-batch-product-edit.htm and delete only selected files...

Please use instead if(!vmAccess::manager('media.delete')){

It checks directly if the user is superadmin or has the rights to delete media. Additionally your plugin will also work in WP. Greets
