vBulletin 3.7 Version

This is my third modification.

Any questions asked by members who have not marked this as installed will be considered low priority.

About This Hack: This has been requested from a vBulletin.org member. This will delete all Visitor Messages every 30 days. (1st of Every Month)

To install just unzip the download below and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager, further and full instructions are included.

If you wish to make the Scheduled Task run more often you can edit the Scheduled Task.

History:

Version 1.00:

Initial version for vBulletin 3.7.

Thanks for this Paul! Will install now!

Quick question: Does it hard delete them?

Regards Jason :)

Is there any way to add a setting for how many days?

Yes Jason, this does hard delete them.

Sorry Boofo I do not understand, a setting for how many days what? or do you mean like say from the 1st of january to 1st of february type thing?

Thanks, Paul.

I think what Boofo means is set it to their own choice of days. For example; 20 days.

And thanks Paul.

Regards Jason :)

I'm afraid the only way I know how to do that at the minute is by manually going in and editing the Scheduled Task.

Go to Admin CP >> Scheduled Tasks >> Scheduled Task Manager >> Visitor Message Del >> Then Edit To Your Choice, for example if you choose Day of Week as Sunday, this will run every Sunday.

Thanks, Paul.

Paul,

As this is a scheduled task, I'll be able to disable it, then click "run now" whenever I wish?

Regards Jason :)

I believe so.

Thanks, Paul.

That's great Paul! Will do some testing, and report any bugs I may find.

Regards Jason :)

I was thinking more like a setting so you could run it at 180 days if you wanted to.

But, no biggie, I'll make a hack to do a setting for me. Good job, though. ;)
