DFP Delete File using checkbox

DFP Delete File using checkbox

I have a table in my database that is for additional product images. It associates an item with an image in a single row and can have multiple rows for the same item.

To prevent a lot of junk files from being left on the server I want to display these pictures in the admin section and allow them to be deleted along with the associated record in the database. I want them to select these by using a checkbox.

Obviously each check box needs a unique name/id which is done using DataAssist with the repeat region and delete multiple records. However when server language appears in the name/id field of the checkbox it is not available in DFP to select in the binding when trying to select the file name to delete.

Is this possible w/DFP and DataAssist? Perhaps a different database design to get the same results?

Use the DataAssist "repeat selection" instead of the Dreamweaver "repeat region" it has extra necessary functionality needed to work with multiple update forms.

I'm pretty sure I used that instead of the DW repeat

Make sure your checkboxes are in the form before you apply it. It should rename them to have a dynamic name. That should also be what makes them appear in the available list (the dynamic name).

Of course this is just a stab in the dark. I would have to look a the files to see for sure. Perhaps you should submit a support incident if you are still having difficulty.

Its the presence of the server side code that is preventing it from showing up in the binding. If I remove the php code and just have a static name I can select it no problem. I posted a support ticket and uploaded some files.

Thanks

It should be selectable from the dropdown list and no longer from the bindings.

There is no drop down. I'm referring to Digital File Pro...DataAssist has the dropdown that you're referring to.

I see... you are trying to do a multiple delete in conjunction with your multiple update and the delete is where you are having trouble.

I see now. Sorry for being lost there for a moment. I see.... I don't think file delete will work with multiples like this without hand coding.

I would probably apply the delete file with basic values... then cut and paste the delete code directly after your database delete SQL statement inside the existing loop.

Since it isn't directly supported, that would be the only option for now. We would have to create a "multiple file delete" server behavior to account for something like this and one simply does not exist.

Yea I just got a response from the support ticket w/a similar answer. Good to be consistent :). I'll see what I can do and will likely be back.

Thanks

So I thought I had this working and then revisited it as I was testing and its not working at all.

I added the DFP delete, the moved it into the loop just after the delete statement but I can't get it to delete the images and the associated recordset. I tried to post all the code below but it was too much so I attached the file.
