Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Purge Old Visitor Messages

This product will delete all visitor messages that are older than the specified number of days. There is now the option to restrict the visitor messages to be purged to only those which contain a specified string of text. You could use this to only delete the auto-generated welcoming visitor messages produced by this product:

New/Returning Members Visitor Message

Updates:

Version 1.1:

• Now allows the entry of a string of text which must appear in visitor messages to be purged.

Version 1.2:

• Only purges read visitor messages.

To Install:

In AdminCP go to Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product.

Click on "Choose File" and browse to the product xml file that was packaged in the .zip file.

Click "Import"

You MUST set your settings to enable the mod. The setting for this add-on is found by following:

AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> User Profile: Visitor Messaging Options

At the bottom of the page, you will find new settings labeled "Purge Visitor Message Threshold In Days" and "Required Text Within Visitor Messages For Purge":



The deletion is a daily cron job.

Support for this product can be found here:

• MHB - Purge Old Visitor Messages
• TAZ - Purge Old Visitor Messages

Does this do all usergroups or can you exclude some?

At present, it purges all read visitor messages (older than the threshold you set), regardless of the usergroup(s) to which the recipients belong.

This old vBulletin 3 mod is still working for me through progressive upgrades to 4.2.3, although it would be nice to have an update for 4.x: Periodic Prune PMs [ Cron Job - Fully Controllable ] - vBulletin.org Forum

Thank you.. Installed it .. how long it takes to clear ? table size is same been a day.

Check the cron job under scheduled tasks and make sure it's running with the frequency you want.

I'm not 100% certain but the displayed table size may not change until you optimize your tables - you can do this under Maintenance in the AdminCP.
