[Beta 1.5.3] Pruned Boards 1.0

[Valconeye]

is there anyway i can change the time it prunes, im guessing i would change the index.php the 24 hours.

Okay, let me try again:

Webby, you need to UNINSTALL and then REINSTALL.  I changed some stuff that I had typed wrong.  (namely, I had added a little stuff, a mod setting, and changed UPDATE to REPLSCE.)

Valconeye, while it only *CHECKS* once per day, the length is specifed in Edit Boards.  So, you can have your test board prune every day (by entering 1...) and it would delete it once per day.

If you want to change how *often* is does this pruning, change the 24 to the number of hours between prunes.  Hwoever, this may slow your board a lot if decreased too much.  IMHO, 24 is the most reasonable value for speed vs. use.

That value will not affect which posts are deleted, but how soon after they pass the date they will be deleted.

Ok, I can uninstall it, but is the new version online somewhere ?

[Webby]

Oops, I got it

The error is gone now, it had to do with the type you made in the Subs.php

Question : when I want to set the prune days to 365. it is automatically changed into 255

How come ?

If you want it that high, please run this query:

ALTER TABLE yabbse_boards
CHANGE pruneDays smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL;

Unknown, what would you recommend as the maximum number before that change should be made?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question.

If you try to use a number bigger than 255, it won't let you.  It will automatically shrink it down to 255.  Running the query above will allow it be anything from 0 to 65535.  (that's a long time.)

Personally, I would use anything lower than 2 or higher than 120.  After all, 4 months is a long time.  If I want things to last longer I'd just keep it off... (0)

Sorry. I missed the 255 reset. Yes, that's the answer to my question.

Just a tought :

This mod can easily be adapted to lock topics instead of prune them, which would be very handy has a mod, to avoid reviving dead topics.

But i'm sure someone already tought of this...

[[Unknown]]

That would be me who thought of it...

After the next version is out, I'll start on my mods again.

oh cool, didnt know such mod exists, was gonna write one myself

[Spaceman-Spiff]

btw, you forgot to include modSettings['pruningLastUpdate'] in the php file

[[Unknown]]

I figured it wasn't worth inserting if the mod could do it anyway for me.  (it does.)

I installed this mod last days and now i have a problem.
It doesn't do anything for me (Board Version is 1.5.4)
As far as i can see, everything is setup right. In the boards table are 3 boards set to be pruned after 90 days.
In the settings table is a last prune from Mon Aug 11 18:23:58 2003 .
But nothing happens. Alle the 3 Boards have all posts, even the ones from March of this year.
What im doing wrong?
Thanks for any hint!
