Delete All PMs v1.0 - by Dr Erwin Loh

Do not distribute or copy without the author's permission.

This hacks allows your members to automatically delete all their PMs with one-click. Very useful, since currently you have to go and click on each page of PMs one by one to empty your inbox. This will remove all PMs in the Inbox, Sent and all other folders.

Installation

1. Edit 1 PHP file.
2. Edit 1 template.
3. Add 2 phrases.

The option to delete all PMs will be in the dropdown menu at the bottom of the PM list.

The instructions are in the ZIPPED file below.

(anyone noticed sometimes on vb3 u always get invalid thread when replying to posts - got it twice on this thread)

Erwin, is there a way to make this only delete the inbox and sent messages folders? I have some personal folders that I really don't want to lose when deleting them all. ;)

It's a random thing that happens on my site as well as vb.com. They haven't been able to trace it down as of yet. ;)

Sweet. I've been waiting for this one.

Suggestion? :)

Expanding on Boofoo's idea, it would be nice if people could tick a box next to the folders that they wish to empty.

I second that idea...

Useful hack - thanks. I like the way you're putting your hacks into HTML docs too. :)

I can look into that. :) That should be easy to do actually.
