is there a Mod for deleting all the PM's

[basskiller]

Not just one user's PM's, but board wide deletion. every pm in every user's box with one click

[Paul M]

I doubt any such mod exists, there isn't going to be much call for such a thing.

There was a hack a few years back made for the early versions that allowed you thru your AdminCP, to schedule daily, weekly or monthly mass PM's deletions. I remember it because I installed on 4 boards. But I can't seem to find it now.

Or Is there a way to manually purge the SQL PM Database with a query and if so, what whould that query code look like?

Or can you simply just goto your Database and just "Empty" that sql...

Thanks for the Help....

Unfortunately, like an add-on I was working on a while back (see https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=142308), your solution doesn't update PM counts as it deletes PMs.

I've also looked for a database query that could be run separately to recount remaining PMs on a member by member basis, with no success yet.

Any thoughts?

my script was built for mega large pm db, and for that i dropped the recount of pm... but it is simple... a lot...

you will have to duplicate the function build_pm_counters(), because that actual one is working only with userinfo, the actual user, not in batch process...

i did not include it because it would overhead the server... and actually, each time a member will post or receive a new pm, the count is updated... that's why i did not do it.

How would you do that exactly? I'd be willing to share authorship or give authorship to you for that matter for a script that worked and that would run as a cron job.

You might want to take a look at the queries in this thread: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...light=pmunread

(Although, if you have actually deleted all the PMs, can't you just make a simple query and set pmtotal and pmunread both equal to zero for everyone?)
