Remove Duplicate Images from PDPs

[c21hornak]

Note: related to https://jira.tools.weblinc.com/browse/CENTURYROR-918

Several months ago we began having this issue where, in the Product QA process, it was discovered that product images attached to products in duplicate. We don't know why it started, but we do have a manual way to fix them.

The problem is that the manual fix requires someone from Adena's team to delete the duplicate image, which causes BOTH of the matching images to disappear instead of just the duplicate. Then Kate's team has to re-upload the image to WebLinc and hope it does not duplicate again (seems random).

Example PDP: https://www.c21stores.com/products/graphic-crew-sweatshirt-3

Place global code to find the duplicates images on a PDP and to show only 1 copy for each duplicating pair.

@c21hornak @AdenaG Is there an example with 2 thumbnails being duplicated at the same time?

@AdenaG This product in particular https://www.c21stores.com/products/gryslrevlvebtspk?via=59f9cd1169702d09a30001dd%2C59fa31d769702d2130024e0b seems to have a different issue. When I working on this ticket, the issue was creating a duplicate of the same instances (same image address too.

In the case of the above sample we have the following:

0: small_thumb.jpg?c=1508536293
1: small_thumb.jpg?c=1507913679
2: small_thumb.jpg?c=1507913684
3: small_thumb.jpg?c=1507913684
4: small_thumb.jpg?c=1507913691
5: small_thumb.jpg?c=1507913691
6: small_thumb.jpg?c=1507913701
7: small_thumb.jpg?c=1507913705
8: small_thumb.jpg?c=1507913705
9: small_thumb.jpg?c=1507913713
10: small_thumb.jpg?c=1507913719
11: small_thumb.jpg?c=1507913724

As you can see, positions 2 & 3, 4 & 5, 7, & 8 are each duplicates.

My script has removed: 2,4 and 7.

The rest are different instances of 3 different images

Daysi Qa'd in production and is working as expected.
Even though you can see the duplicate images momentarily, the Code is taking duplicate images on PDP and displaying only 1 copy.
