Details[edit]
eraseArchivedFile.php file is a maintenance script to delete the archived file provided by --filekey from the filesystem.
When the script is run with --filekey or with --filename, it will purge the thumbnails of the according image - even, if --delete has not been specified.
That way you can use the script to force a re-rendering of the thumbnails without having to re-upload the image.
Information about deleted files is stored in the filearchive table.
Usage[edit]
| Option/Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| --filekey | Required. File storage key (with extension) for a specific version to be deleted or "*" for all versions (in that case, --filename is required). The file storage key is an entry from the fa_storage_key column of the filearchive table.
|
| --filename | File name (corresponds to the value of fa_name in the filearchive table).
|
| --delete | Perform the deletion. Will delete the archived file and possible thumbnails, but will not delete its entry in the filearchive table (nor will it delete log messages of the upload/deletion of the now-deleted file). |
