igor berger Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I just coded a phpBB forum posts' mass deletion script to delete unwanted posts using IP address, user id, or domain name in a post message as a deletion parameter. There were many nicks and cranies, with many tables that need to be updated. If you going to try to delete unwanted posts just using myphpadmin Sql control panel, do not do it. It will mass up your forum... Igor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamProductions Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 What do you suggest doing then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor berger Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 You have to write a script that will interact with the deletion function. I query the database for the posts I want to delete then I loop it with the deletion function. A few tweeks here in there will make it work. Probably you will have two parts. One getting all the relevent post information, like topic, poll, etc. then you call deletion function. Igor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor berger Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 If you are running a phpBB forum and would like to get a my mass deletion script, all I ask in return is a link to my anti Spam project. www.phsdl.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
