Hi!

$crud->callback_before_delete(array($this,'delete_thumb'));

.....



function delete_thumb($primary_key)

{

// get your the images name

$image = $this->db->get_where('images', array('id'=>$primary_key), 1)->row_array();

if

(

unlink($your_path.'/thumb_'.$image['name'])

)

return true

else

return false

}

Hello Victor, I'm interested to know how to correctly unlink, if my thumbnails are at the htdocs/webroot/assets/uploads/files/thumbnail/image_file 

 

I'm trying to give it a correct base path

 

something like this:

 $my_path = '/assets/uploads/files/thumbnail/'.$image['file_url'];

or as

 $my_path = '/webroot/assets/uploads/files/thumbnail/'.$image['file_url'];

or as 

 $my_path = '/htdocs/webroot/assets/uploads/files/thumbnail/'.$image['file_url'];

 

and than calling it like this

if(unlink($my_path))
        {
            return true;
        }
          else 
          {
            return false;
          }

 

 

and my image still wasn't deleted, is it possible that my .htaccess is somehow involved in all of this? maybe I need to give 777 permission to my images?  which i don't know how...

 

 

my full function:

function delete_thumbnail($primary_key)
    {
        // get images name
        $image = $this->db->get_where('cars', array('item_id'=>$primary_key), 1)->row_array();
        $filestring = '/test/assets/uploads/files/thumbnail/'.$image['file_url'];

        if(unlink($filestring))
        {
            return true;
        }
          else 
          {
            return false;
          }
    }

 

my callback

$crud->callback_before_delete(array($this,'delete_thumbnail'));

public function delete_thumb($primary_key)
	{
	    $row = $this->db->where('member_id',$primary_key)->get('member')->row();

	    unlink('/assets/uploads/files/thumb1-'.$row->profile_photo);

Finally, I got the solution. which is as below. 

function delete_thumb($primary_key)
	{
		$user= $this->db->where('member_id',$primary_key)->get('member')->row();
  
		$url= 'assets/uploads/files/'.$user->profile_photo;
		$thumb_url= 'assets/uploads/files/thumb1-'.$user->profile_photo;
		unlink($url);
		unlink($thumb_url);

	   
	    return true;
	}

I hope it may help someone who is facing issue for deleting image.

 

Thanks
