Hi all
I was looking for some advice on how to approach implimenting an autoprune of forums which receive RSS feeds based on age of post.
Example,
I can manually prune a forum by asking it to remove posts older than 7 days easy enough, then i have to update counters.
What would be nice would be if I could find a code tmeplate somewhere and add it as a scheduled task so I could alter the applicable forum ID, age of posts to prune and have it run every odd day.
The rationale is that a lot of RSS feeds, well I use them as news, so posts over 7 days are old news and not really relavent so we don't need to keep them in the database. The manual work seems to defeat the purpose of having a server available that could do it if I only knew how
When i used to use phpbb it was easy enough, auto prune was easy.
Any pointers appreciated.
