Delete All PMs - Let your members prune all their private messages automatically!

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.

It should be a walk in the park for you, sir. Looking forward to it.

Any way to use this on older versions as well?

How about a way people can CHECK the ones they do NOT want deleted?

You know there are some PM's people might want to keep so would be great to have it so they could say create a FOLDER for all the ones they want to KEEP then CHECK the box, now when they run the Delete ALL it will delete ALL BUT the folder OR the pm's they have checked.

I knwo for myself there are PM's I want to KEEP on the system instead of downloading etc, but I get a lot more that I want deleted then those I want to KEEP so it would be grerat to CHECK the ones I want saved then say Dlete All.

Just an Idea

Or is this TOO MUCH work?

did you ever complete this ?

there is one "}" too much in your installation instruction in the first part where to search for in private.php
Just remove the last } in the search string and let the last line as
unset ($pm, $pmid);

works on my vB3.0.1

thanks

being able to select which folder in which, all PMs to be deleted would be nice
