"prune/move users" section: search options are TOO limited
 

I like the "prune/move users" section in the ACP, but the options are SO limited it's almost useless for mass pruning users against certain criteria.

I want to screen members using the sort of advanced search options you find in the "search for members" function in the ACP

Is this possible?

There is no way to do that in vb without a modification, and I don't know of an exitsing one. I think you could use sql to do it, by creating a query to move users to a temporary usergroup (by setting the value of user.usergroup), then use Prune/Move users to delete all users in that group.

licensinglinks, that's exactly what I've been meaning to start a thread about! Well done for raising it.

I find the Search functionality simply awesome and it's a real shame there isn't an option to then delete or move all the users filtered using that search feature. If I search for an IP and find 50 accounts registered with a given IP, I can't just delete those 50 accounts - I have to either open them up one by one or do the deletion at the database level (which is an unnecessary complication).

This is certainly a needed function in an admin's toolbox. I use a field to note a subscriber's last payment. Something as simple as searching for all subscribers in user groups AND search for a specific year in field "last subscription date."

Subscribers out of date range could then be moved to Registered in one process.
