Deleting media

[heldercervantes]

Hi.

I'll probably feel dumb when you give me the solution, but I can't find this anywhere.

I want to delete all images and resized variants from a page, keeping the page. How is this done via API?

thanks,

H

For images, look at removeAll() for getting rid of everything in the field or just removeVariations() to kill off the size variations.

Doesn't seem to do anything.

I'm trying $page->images->removeAll()

I'm also finding junk files in an example page that aren't in the images field. I'm thinking these are a result of interrupted saves or something like that. Isn't there a way to just delete the assets directory for the page?

With a little help from another post from Ryan, I got this:

$dir = $page->filesManager->path;
$dit = new DirectoryIterator($dir);
foreach($dit as $df) {
  unlink($df->getPathname());
}
rmdir($dir);
$pages->uncache($page);

And away go all assets from said page.
