Add image to page API Adding duplicates

[joer80]

I have code that adds a remote image to a page that works great, but I want it to run and copy over the old image instead of adding it again and having both on the page.  Is there  a way to tell it to replace the old one?

This is what I have so far:  I first pass a | delimited string saved as $imageArray into this:

$m->setOutputFormatting(false);
 foreach($imageArray as $image){
	  if($image){
	    echo "Saving " . $image . " to " . $m->id . "<br>";	
	    $m->images->add($image);
	  }
 }
 $m->save();

Thanks!

Check your image's fields Input Tab and tick checkbox at 'Overwrite existing files?' Since version 2.5.1

Dev version of PW only (since 2.5.1)

2.5.3 is the stable version, so this should be included even there.

Hi,

I tried to use the same technique and it's not working. I checked the image field to overwrite but the API keeps adding files, with "-1", "-2", "-3" appended to the filename.

Here's my code:

	foreach($files as $file) {
		if(substr($file, 0, 1) != '.' && $file != '.' && $file != '..') {

			// Get SKU
			$file_sku = substr($file, 0, 9);

			// Check for book
			$book = $pages->get('sku=' . $file_sku);
			if(!$book->id) {

				// Book doesn't exist

			}
			else {

				// Upload image into book
				$book->book_images->add($upload_directory . '/' . $file);

				// Delete file
				unlink($upload_directory . '/' . $file);

			}

			// Save book
			if($book->id) $book->save();

		}
	}

 

I don't know what's missing.
