Restrict prune by forum?
 

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum -- please move if appropriate!

Before I write a SQL script to do this, I thought I would float this idea out to y'all and see if anyone has already done it (a search didn't turn up anything).

I have certain forums (links, questions, etc...) that I don't want to prune, and it takes a mountain of time through the ACP to manually select and prune the others individually.

Has anyone seen a .php hack that would allow for selective pruning of forums based on date?

If not, is there a MySQL script flying around that does this?

Last question -- are we allowed to post SQL scripts that we write, even those aren't real "hacks"?

Thanks to anyone who can help!!

The "Spin Threads" hack might be something you could use. ;)

you can post sql queries, but not in full releases, as there they wouldn't make sense...

also delete a thread is not done with just one sql query, you have to deltete the posts, attachments... belonging to that thread, too

I will take a look at that spin threads hack and see what its all about~ Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks also, Xenon -- maybe it would be best if I pass anything like that onto an admin who can decide if its OK. As far as the query, yea, it is a bit complicated but can be done, albeit a little messy! It just takes so loooong to do this stuff through the ACP that if I can just hit the database directly, things fly (like IP address searches).

of course, you can send me or another admin or mod those things if you are not sure if and where to put ;)
