Deleting a listing is leaving the images on the server.

Howdy!

I have it set so members can delete their own listings (if no bid). As a test, I deleted a listing, and then i went to see on the server if it removed the images that were uploaded for that listing, and nope, they remained... is there a possible solution?

Thanks!!!

That is the default by design if a member deletes their own listing. It is just marked as removed in the database.

If an admin with manage classifieds permissions deletes the listing then the listing is completely deleted.

Thanks for your great service!

I see now that if I as an admin put in the exact listing link to a itme that was deleted by a member, I can still see it!
(i.e. http://mydoamin.com/index.php?action=classifieds;sa=view;id=49)

What I think we need - and I don't see it a list of the items that are in this "state of being a deleted item" - because if I'm correct, they are not listed in the Recycle Bin, which I'm accessing using:
http://mydomain.com/index.php?action=classifieds;sa=recyclebin

Is there, or would there be a way to get a "list" much like the Recycle Bin, for items that have been deleted by user. I dont' see any way I'd know otherwise which items have been deleted, and I need to then remove to clean up the server of the associated images.

Thanks again!

To take this a step further...

Can I assume there's no way currently to see/manage a list of member deleted listings?
Something like http://mydomain.com/index.php?action=classifieds;sa=deletedbin

If not, I will not allow members to delete their listings (I wanted them to be able to do so if their item had sold).

Also, perhaps a good request for down the road would be a master listings database "list" - that would resemble the RecycleBin, but would list all listings in the database. I would suggest it have filters for "All Items" - Recycle Bin Items" - "Deleted Items" - "Any Other Status". A second filter option based on dates would be great also ("Older than 1 week" - "Older than 2 weeks" - "Older than 3 weeks" - "Older than 4 weeks" - "Older than 5 weeks" - ETC...

I hope you find my comments helpful!

Thanks once again!
