DeleteUploads finishers

The "DeleteUploads finisher" removes submitted files. Use this finisher, for example, after the email finisher if you do not want to keep the files within your TYPO3 installation.

Note

Finishers are only executed on successfully submitted forms. If a user uploads a file but does not finish the form successfully, the uploaded files will not be deleted.

Important

Finishers are executed in the order defined in your form definition.

See Finisher execution order.

DeleteUploads finisher in the YAML form definition

For example: use this finisher after the email finisher if you do not want to keep the files online.

The finishers are executed in the order they are listed in the form definition YAML file:

public/fileadmin/forms/my_form.yaml

identifier: example-form
label: 'example'
type: Form

finishers:
  -
    identifier: EmailToSender
    options:
      subject: 'Your Message: {message}'
  -
    identifier: DeleteUploads
    # Define the delete uploads finisher AFTER the email finisher
# ...

Usage of the DeleteUploads finisher in PHP code

Developers can create a confirmation finisher by using the key DeleteUploads:

<?php

use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility;
use TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Finishers\ClosureFinisher;
use TYPO3\CMS\Form\Domain\Model\FormDefinition;
class SomeClass
{
    private function addDeleteUploadsFinisherWithMessage(FormDefinition $formDefinition, string $message)
    {
        $formDefinition->createFinisher('DeleteUploads');
    }
}
