Deleting gallery images?

[Xae]

This seems like a silly question but how do you delete gallery images or remove them from albums? Can't seem to find the button, short of the one part of moderation.

When viewing the image, click "manage image" button and a drop down menu will appear "Delete". Member group though has to have permission to delete own files

​Are you referring to the "Can delete own content?" group setting? If so, I'm assuming it has be global for all content types, which I am a bit hesitant to enable.

​Correct.

How do you give the option to remove their gallery images of the group ? Only for gallery, not for forums

Thanks

​See post above by Jim M. The setting is global only; you can't restrict it per content type.

I know, should be given the opportunity to choose, there is no plugin for this?

If what you want is to allow everybody to delete their own photos, that's easily accomplished with a code hook (IPS\Gallery\Image). Toggling it per group would be a bit more work.

//<?php

class myapp_hook_galleryImage extends _HOOK_CLASS_
{
  /**
   * Return true for current member if they own the image, overriding their group's lack
   * of the global content deletion permission.
   *
   * @return (boolean)
   */
  public function canDelete()
  {
    if ( $this->member_id == \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id )
    {
      return TRUE;
    }

    return parent::canDelete();
  }
}

​Here's the hook turned into a plugin.
