I would like to see the ability to delete user completely from the database along with that users files instead of having to manually go thru 100s of files. There needs to be an option that we can delete multiple files from server via checkbox selection along with check all for users and files. http://forum.mfscripts.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=930
Batch delete is high on the list of todos. It's complex as the files on external file servers need to be removed aswell. At the moment if you delete a file, the script can go directly to the external file server, user confirms the delete and the local code handles it. If you have 100 files selected via the admin area, the code needs to somehow call all the file servers and batch delete on each.
Then you have to think about what happens if a number fail. Maybe the way to do it would be to just loop over each file and call the existing admin delete function, although it would take time to complete. Something similar could be done for users.
We'll probably end up with some kind of file API between servers which will enable batch moving, bulk deletes etc. It's a lot more work but the right way to build it (the only way we do things
).
