Images aren't deleted when I delete an add.

Hello,

I installed Marketplace 1.4.6 on Joomla 1.5.9.
I had some difficulty in the beginning but I learnt
how to solve them thanks to people like you.

My last problem is that :
After I had deleted my adds, I noticed that the images are still
in the following folder :

components/com_marketplace/images/entries


And, I can't delete anything under com_marketplace by using cpanel.

When I try to delete the files manually, I get this error in cpanel :

FileOp failure on public_html/components/com_marketplace/images/entries/4a.jpg: Permission denied

I can't change permissions, move, rename, delete, put anything under com_marketplace folder in cpanel.

I know and realize that Marketplace is a Joomla component and it can only be modified in Joomla control panel. But when I can't delete the add images in control panel, I tried to delete them in cpanel but failed.

What should I do to solve this problem? Thank you very much for your interest.

Osman

Re: Images aren't deleted when I delete an add.

Hello again,

I tried something and solved the problem partly. But I still need help.

I deleted the images of an add, by marking the delete checkbox, before I deleted the add itself. Thus, the images were deleted successfully.

But, if I delete the add directly, the images aren't deleted. Is this normal? Should the images be deleted before the add?

Regards,
Osman

Hi Osman,

> Is this normal? Should the images be deleted before the add?

No, normally the images are deleted when you delete an ad.

Which OS do you use?

In almost all of these cases this is a permission problem.

Re: Images aren't deleted when I delete an add.

Hi,

We have Linux hosting.

I think if OS doesn't give permissions, it is not possible to delete them even I mark them. I can upload the images of the adds successfully but I get a warning about the permissions. I don't know it is important. I can send it later.

As I said before, Marketplace is a Joomla component and it is not right to try to change or delete its files in cpanel. But I want to hear from you. Although Marketplace is a Joomla component, can you say that a user should be able to change permissions, delete files of Marketplace in cpanel?

Is there anything I can do or check about my configuration?

Regards,
Osman

Hi,

did you have a look at your apache logfiles?

Please try to delete an ad and see if there is an entry.



Regards

Achim

Re: Images aren't deleted when I delete an add.

Hi Mr. Fischer,


An interesting thing happened.
I published an ad using the front page user account. Then I tried to delete the ad again using the same user form. The images were deleted when I deleted the ad :)

I noticed that the problem occurs when I try to delete the ad in Joomla Control Panel-Marketplace-Ads section. I mean, in control panel, I can’t delete the images unless I mark them. Anyway, I don’t see this a problem any more. There will be no problem if I use the front page user account.


I mentioned a warning when I try to publish an add. You can see it below.

Warning: chmod() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/pxdy2615/public_html/components/com_marketplace/write_ad.php on line 304

Regards
Osman
