Kirby ignores deleted files

Kirby 3 Solved ✅
#1

I have the following page blueprint but as soon as I delete images, they are not deleted in the content folder and still will be rendered. Why?

fields:
  images:
    label: add images
    type: files
    multiple: true
    layout: cards
    size: tiny
    image:
      ratio: 1/1

(I need type: files for the caption functionality)

The reason why it doesn’t work if you call $page->images() is because images() is a native Kirby page method, which fetches all files in the folder. If you don’t want to rename your field, you can fetch the selected files via the content object:

<?php
$files = $page->content()->get('images')->toFiles();
// loop through files

Thanks @texnixe that makes sense! :slight_smile:
