During an import of all the new products in the "media gallery" section of each product, a second image path has been added for error.
I want to avoid manually deleting all the second images of each product. Is there a way to automatically delete all the second images of each product without touching the main image with "order: 1"?

Thanks for any help

I haven't tested this, but I imagine something like this would work.

$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
$mediaApi = Mage::getModel("catalog/product_attribute_media_api");

foreach($collection as $product) {
    $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($product->getId());
    $entityTypeId = $product->getEntityTypeId();
    $mediaGalleryAttribute = Mage::getModel('catalog/resource_eav_attribute')->loadByCode($entityTypeId, 'media_gallery');
    $gallery = $product->getMediaGalleryImages();
    foreach ($gallery as $image) {
        if($image['position'] != "1") {
            $mediaGalleryAttribute->getBackend()->removeImage($product, $image->getFile());
        }
    }
    $product->save();
}

What I'm doing here is looping through all of the products and then through their images and removing any that do not have a position of 1.

  • Hi, thanks for the reply. I tried your code but it gives me as an error: "Undefined variable: i". Is it possible to create an if in your code? I would like to be able to tell Magento to delete images of products that do not have "order: 1" in the position of media_gallery_position – Gabriel91 Feb 6 '18 at 15:06
  • Try my updated solution, but back up your work first to be on the safe side! – Liam McArthur Feb 6 '18 at 15:22
  • I'm doing the tests locally for now. Anyway I tried your code but nothing has changed for now. I uploaded the code to a php file and uploaded it to the root of the site, also loading Mage.php but nothing happened. Blank page is enough. When I returned to the backend I saw that the second image of the products was always there. – Gabriel91 Feb 6 '18 at 15:43
  • Try my updated code! I'm not sure why using the media API doesn't work, but this method definitely does. – Liam McArthur Feb 6 '18 at 16:01
  • Thanks for your patience. I tried your code again. The page continues to load endlessly, as if it were looped. After 20 minutes i tried to saw in "manage products" and the product has ever the second image. – Gabriel91 Feb 6 '18 at 17:05
