Hello Andreas,

if I set the prune to 0 it will never prune posts in that forum correct?

Thanks for your support

It works in 3.5.1 - just tested it.

Small thing though, only a spelling mistake - in the AdminCP -> Forums -> Forum Manager (the whichever forum), it says "Stetting" instead of "Setting" - nothing major but thought I'd point it out.

Cracking idea though, thanks handy little extra!

[edit]

Easily fixed ... just go to Search Phrases, search for "Stetting", and just change it .... like I said not a bug, just wanted to help

Got big problems after a week with this plugin using 351
Only after a week cause that's the prune-delay i set for one forum,...
all my links to threads caused blank pages (page not found in IE)

couldn't access admincp neither

got this error amongst others :
invalid argument for *** includes/init.php on line 67
forgot what *** was, sry

any ideas?

[Andreas]

Yes, that the error is not caused by this Hack.

Out of the box this will prune stickies. To change this, go to your Plugin Manager and edit "Auto-Prune Threads".

Find this (appears only once):

sticky IN (0,1)

and change it to this

sticky != 1

Now stickies will be immune to the auto-prune.

For anyone upgrading from the 3.0 version, Andreas helped me through this and I posted instructions in the old 3.0 auto-prune post.

Thanks again Andreas!

Howdy!

Is there a way to code in a, only prune X number of threads? Because once I pruned around 100 threads, with 100, 000 or so posts, and I... uhm... broke the server :P So I want to be a little carefull with that thing now :P Hehe... So what I'm looking for is:

A script that will prune X number of threads (and their posts, doesn't matter how many posts belong to them though) each sunday, at X hour (f.ex 4am server time) ... Possible?

Thanks

This is one cool hack -- something VB has needed for a while --

Thanks so much --

Just one question -- what triggers the prune ? I don't see it listed in the scheduled tasks?

thanks
