TODO's
no at the moment.

1.4.* compatibility clause removed
Sorry, 1.4.* compatibility clause was removed. I have no test environment to verify it.
however I believe it should work. Please test it before usage on 1.4.* production site.

very nice

I'd like to try

fixed non-destructive bug in thread closing.
you can download new zip from first post.
please replace tasks/cleanforums.php in your MyBB installation if you use previous version.

sorry, another 2 bugs in thread closing fixed. (not actually bugs, but ...)
new zip uploaded.

Deletion of Inactive users and Awaiting Activation users added.
Options in "Admin CP / Configuration / Settings" added
Code beautified
Plugin and plugin files renamed

new zip available in the First post.

TODO
I found orphaned avatars in forum, so I'll add Avatars cleaning

can you add an option to append to the forum definitions a line that is like "Topics deleted when last reply is 10 days old. " and account for the time setting (last post, first post) for that forum.

version 2.3 available for download from http://mods.mybb.com/view/forum-cleaner

I'm not sure that I understood well your question.

currently it allows to select "first post" vs. "last post" and setup 10 days age.

also in forum action listing it shows forum like
{forum name} Delete Threads 2 Week(s) for the Last post in thread

you need something else ? or you use a very first version ?

change log between 2.2 and 2.3? Wink

I mean to add to the forum description on the forum index to indicate that a forum is pruned and at what interval.

Check out my site for what I am currently manually coding (and trying to remember to edit when I change a prune time). Its the green text appended to the forum descriptions.

2.2 was not released officially Toungue

but, if you care Smile

:

change log between 2.2 and 2.3:

1.6 tested
Orphaned avatars handling added
User deletion speed optimisations

TODO's

Other Orphans handling, like records in threads table without posts, partially created users, etc. (If I found them systematically)
Plugin user's ideas (if I find them easy for me to implement)
Remove user deletion if "User Pruning" functionality in 1.6 will be changed to delete Registered users based on last visit date (not registration date as now)

I see. Well, I'll try to do something like this.
Looks like we need to change templates somehow and I already in some plugins found examples how to do that.

I suspect you mean to add option not globally, but on each Action required to display ?

You should be able to hook into the hook "build_forumbits_forum" in the build_forumbits() function in functions_forumlist.php. its a byref hook so it passes $forum and you can simply update/append to $forum['description'] for those being pruned.
