you don't need to add new scheduled task, Installation script will add it automatically.

I'll port it soon

thnx, looking forward to it. i was working on a port, but i haven't touched it in a few weeks and now i won't worry about it. i'm more interested in just the ability to move threads after however many days. i have a bit of discussion inside the coders forum if you want to read what's been discussed thus far. when you port, please secure the ability to just move threads without the post count coming into play.

I have installed this today, however when i looked in the sheduled tasks, so i could run the script immediatly. I found their is no autodelete shedule.

I am using the Latest version of VB. not sure if their is an issue on this version.

please can you advise.

Thanks

Another vote here for a port to v3.6.4!

Looks like this would be exactly what I'm looking for: I have an RSS feed that auto-creates news articles pumped into a special forum as new threads. Those are then displayed on the portal through vBadvanced's 'news' module. This mod would help auto-delete all old news articles.

Suggestion: Add an option to leave sticky threads in place (or remove them, as set by the option).

Thanks HaMaDa4eVeR!

bump for 3.6.4 port request.

[tuanluu]

me too

[bts420]

I installed this in 3.6.4 (only version I have)

It wasn't working, it would delete all posts regardless of the number of days you specified in the options.

Modified autodelete.php

Changed
(".$vbulletin->options['created']." * 86400)
to
($vbulletin->options['created'] * 86400)

In 2 places within the PHP script.
I also had to manually setup the cron job. Not sure why thats not installing. Now the script works fine.
