not cache the Album Zip

francorodrigues

I'm using printAlbumZip and is working fine, but the zip file is
hosted on the server taking up too much space.

A while ago I saw a post that said about generating the zip file on user computer, thus not taking up space in the cache of the zip on my server, but I did not find this post more.

Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks

Did you make sure that you don't have "Persistent Archives" enabled under Options->Gallery? That would be the first step I'd take. I haven't played with albumzip myself so not too sure how long the archive is supposed to be cached after creation.

I presume you have not selected the persistent archive option. So the files will be created as temporary files. Your server should purge them as needed.

The archive generator class has the ability to create an in-memory archive, but I seriously doubt you have enough memory for creating an album archive.

I know of no softare that delivers the data to the client computer. That would be pretty much a non-starter. The whole album would be served across the internet uncompressed to the client. That would take probably more time than any user would consider reasonable.
