Hello everyone,

Is it possible to have the uploaded files associated with a post to be deleted when a post is deleted?

This would help keep the server clean of files that are no longer needed.

Any thoughts?

Files are uploaded before the post is submited so it is impossible to associate them with a post.

But in the next version files uploaded will be assciated with the person uploading the file by placing the files in fiolders that have the usename of the person uploading the file.

I've already added the mod so that uploaded files are associated with the username. It's a great mode that makes searching for files to delete a little faster.

The utlimate, though, would be for the deletion to occur automatically. 

I am using the application as an internal design approval system. The turnover rate on the uploaded designs is quite high, so I would like for images/files associated with a deleted post to be automatically deleted.

I guess I will just have to upgrade my hard drive over time

Thank you -boRg-
