Hey ther again.

I'm almost finished versie 0.3 of my module and are change the methode.upgrade.php.
With this php file I want to delete a complete folder (including the files in that folder).
Seaching the internet I found this code :

Code: Select all

	// delete jquery directory
		$dir = "/modules/IwPopupManager/jquery";
		if (!empty($dir)) { 
			array_map('unlink', array_filter((array) array_merge(glob("$dir/*"))));
		}
		rmdir($dir);

So I modified the methode.upgrade.php file and tested the upgrade :

Installed versie 0.1

Copied versie 0.3 using ftp

Did the upgrade in the cmsms console

Everything worked except the deletion of the folder.

Please advise how to delete the folder while upgrading the module.

T.I.A. again.

I checked the Gallery module (methode.upgrade.php) and found @unlink command.
Put this code in my methode.upgrade.php without any luck :

Code: Select all

@unlink("/modules/IwPopupManager/jquery/popup.js");
@rmdir('/modules/IwPopupManager/jquery');

Please advise. If this is solved I can upload the new version of my module (version 0.3)

T.I.A.

This is the code I used in the ECB2 module to remove files & dirs on upgrade:

Code: Select all

$module_path = $this->GetModulePath();
if ( version_compare($oldversion, '1.8') < 0 ) {
    // remove sub dirs
    $dirsToRemove = ['/lib/js/images', '/icons'];
    foreach ($dirsToRemove as $delDir) {
        foreach (glob($module_path.$delDir.'/*.*') as $filename) @unlink($filename);
        @rmdir($module_path.$delDir);
    }
    // individual files to remove
    $filesToRemove = ['/lib/js/mColorPicker.min.js', '/changelog.inc', '/lib/js/jquery-ui-timepicker-addon.js', 
        '/lib/js/colpick.js'];
    foreach ($filesToRemove as $delFile) @unlink($module_path.$delFile);
}

It looks like your issue is that you are not using the full module path.
