Enable deleteCallback to delete folders

[marcheimendinger]

I use a webroot{DS}files{DS}{time}{DS} path. So for each file I create a folder with the current time. When I delete a file, I also want to delete the parent directory (webroot{DS}files{DS}{time}).

I tried by using a deleteCallback :
return [$path . $entity->name, $path];

Sadly it doesn't seem to work on folders but only on files. Would it be possible to add this feature to the deleteCallback method ?

Why can't you just make your own callback method which implements unlink() and rmdir() ?

The whole point of a callback method is to allow flexibility for you to implement your own code.

Of course, but it would be neat to integrate this into the plugin so we can do it as described (juste add the folder dir into the deleteCallback returned array).

Deletes are dangerous, especially if you delete a folder, so handling it in the users code would be more logical in my opinion.

For someone looking for something similar, this is how I'm doing it :

public function afterDelete($event, $entity, $options)
{
    $completeDir = WWW_ROOT . str_replace("webroot" . DS, "", $entity->dir);
    $folder = new Folder($completeDir);
    $files = $folder->find('.', false);
    if (empty($files)) {
        $folder->delete();
    }
}
