$expirecategories = array(18);  // use this array to specify which categories can be pruned, default all categories
$expiredays = 3; // number of days after which an entry is removed from the database 


I want it to delete everything uploaded by all usergroups in cat 18, but after 5 days the file has still not been deleted.

I have setup the sheduled task and uploaded the file into the cron directory (I can see those questions popping into your head )

Ian, I feel rather scared advising you with this, in case I tell you something wrong which kills the whole LDM database. So pls take a backup of all the LDM tables!!!

Have you tried going to the VB admincp and *forcing* the cron job to run?

If so and it still doesn't work, I'd like you to send me an email with these two items:
- a database backup of the LDM tables, and
- the modified version of the cron task php file

I'll send you a message with me email address
