Deleting files from the panel and also from directories

The CMS Questions
1

Good morning all,
Hope you’re fine ?
Is it possible to authorize the deletion of files present directly in the directories ?
The delete button only hide files from the Panel but the files still exist in directories…
Thank you !

You are using a files field, right? Then you are just removing the file entries from that field. It does not affect the files from the page.

You probably want to use a file section (Files section | Kirby CMS) with templating to structure your files per page. Then you can delete them right in the section.

Yes, here is my code sample :

title: Demande
icon: page

tabs:
	demandes:
		label: Votre demande
		icon: text
		fields:
			author:
				label: Contact
				type: users
				disabled: true
				width: 2/3
			event_type:
				label: Asking for
				type: select
				width: 1/3
				options:
					- Event
					- Meeting
					- Conference
			healineTwo:
				label: Fichiers/documents obligatoires
				type: headline

			# Event files
			file_event_presentation:
				type: files
				label: Event presentation
				template: event_presentation
				width: 2/4
				when:
					event_type: Event
			file_event_program:
				type: files
				label: Event program
				template: event_program
				width: 2/4
				when:
					event_type: Event
			file_event_budget:
				type: files
				label: Event budget
				template: event_budget
				width: 2/4
				when:
					event_type: Event

			# Meeting files
			file_meeting_presentation:
				type: files
				label: Meeting (presentation)
				template: meeting_presentation
				width: 2/4
				when:
					event_type: Meeting

If I understood correctly, it is mandatory to use a “section”?
I have an error when I put sections in tabs :frowning:

It’s mandatory, if you want to be able to delete files directly, I guess.

What error are you getting?
