Gasper, just tagged ;) nice job man!?

edit: can you add an options for the time span?

[Sym0n]

Does this version now check to see if the post has been soft deleted 30+ days ago each day and then psychically delete it or if it was only deleted say 14 days ago it's left soft deleted?

[ForumsMods]

No, I forget your order. I will include it in next version which will be released today or tomorrow.

Version 1.1 15-08-08

[Hornstar]

yeah I really should get around to using this, I must have thousands upon thousands of soft deleted threads. thanks for sharing.

[Doug Nelson]

So does this run daily or monthly now that we can limit it to 30+ days old?

I have a thousand or more soft deleted posts from several years. Will this cause a bad server load the first time it runs?

[Spank]

Thanks for going with my suggestion to make this deluxe package. I'll install later on.

It runs every 30 days. You can modify it editing cron.

[tavarish]

i would like to see a auto mover for soft deleted threads, would this be possible to make? auto move to forumid X after 10 days ex..?

@Gasper

After running your script the trash icons are still shown in showthread view.
Is that a little bug?

[rapidphim]

I think this is what I am looking for. However, can we make the trash can clickable and list all the soft deleted posts so admin can select them to either undeleted which post or physically deleted them all at once ?

[rapidphim]

can someone please get back to me on this and confirm if these are done via admincp or directly on forum view?

[gbox master]

can you please tell me if this works also on vb3.6xx
if not will you make one for 3.6xx

thnx
nice mod to install

[momo2]

Been looking for something like this for a long time. Thanks..

[Doug Nelson]

Does this work with 3.8.1? I just noticed I have some very old softdeleted posts that are still there after 30 days.

[ForumsMods]

Yes, should work fine.

[Doug Nelson]

So any ideas on why my softdeleted posts aren't being deleted?

[FractalizeR]

Also, I don't see any attachment removing from these soft-deleted threads. It seems, like attachments will remain without thread, consuming space after their thread or post is removed...

[princeedward]

thanks... ;)

[Robru]

Works fine with 4.x :)

[Jamey]

Any updates for 3.8.4?

[Mr.Halcon]

Thank you, it's very usefull for me ;)

[OturanBoğa]

Yes, works fine with 4.x :)

That's not the only problem. If you soft delete a thread, the posts within it are still set to visible = 1 (i.e. aren't set to soft deleted), so when this cron comes along and removes the soft-deleted threads directly from the db, there are lots of posts that become orphaned (i.e. are attached to a thread that no longer exists)

What the mod needs to do is query through all the affected posts, attachments, polls(?) etc when deleting a thread and remove everything connected. Similarly it needs to examine attachments for posts.

There might be a data manager that can do it. Or just seek out the code that runs when a physical remove is done.

I applaud your making a mod VB Style, but it's gonna leave a lot of bad fragmented stuff on boards. With any software this complicated it's generally a bad idea to remove anything directly from the db, unless you know it's not connected to anything else.

[hcmagix]

Yes, works fine with 4.x :)

shure? I cant see no actions from this hack in action log

[OturanBoğa]

Yes...When I activate this, all soft deleted posts, threads and visitor messages are deleted totally

[diim_nowa]

ForumsMods,
And you can add a mod ?
Option to view all soft deleted posts, threads and visitor messages
