[For 1.6] Forum Cleaner 2.5.1

[gnuhong]

Hi, I am a bit confused. How is this ForumCleaner different from the one on Configuration/Settings/UserPruning ? Both are used to prune inactive and awaiting activation users. If I install this, will it clash with MyBB UserPruning?

I have found that the language files for this plugin conflict and overwrite the official language varaibles. I would suggest that you prefix all your language vars with "fc_" or "forumcleaner_" or similar so that the conflict goes away.

Example, look at the Add Thread Tool page in the ACP and you will see that it says Forum cleaner instead of Name

I made some edits to fix problems with lang variables. So test it

I've installed this plugin succesfully all the menu's are showing. The only menu that doesn't show is;
Admin CP / Configuration / Settings / Forum Cleaner options
General configuration and user deletion configuration

How can i make that option view at settings?

EDIT:
Actually it's showing something at the settings but don't know if it belongs to the Forum Cleaner plugin.
See bellow the screenshot i took.

Orphaned Avatars deletes all users avatars?

Because I used it and it deleted all my avatars, except the ones in avatar galleries.

I'm sorry, it was too many changes in my life last year and I simply haven't time to support mybb community.

but now I'm ready to continue.

Actually, I didn't manage to find such tool to reproduce this behavior, but I'll follow your suggestion. thanks.

Looks like you have issue within plugin language files. Please make sure that language files (inc/languages/english/forumcleaner.lang.php and inc/languages/english/admin/forumcleaner.lang.php) are in place before plugin installation.
to fix - uninstall plugin, put language files to required places and install plugin again.

Also please check that all files, related to plugin are from one source. from mods.mybb.com or from DamYan 's fix. possible scenario of such behavior is that plugin files are from one source and plugin language files from another.

And if you use this language files translated to your language, please make sure that variables from 'options_title' to 'groupids_desc' are present in your translation (lines 37-59 in english/admin/forumcleaner.lang.php).

thanks.

Orphaned Avatars deletes all users avatars?

Because I used it and it deleted all my avatars, except the ones in avatar galleries.

I didn't manage to reproduce that. Can you please give more details ? which version of mybb and plugin do you use ? in which environment (Linux, Windows, etc.), which webserver ?

I can imagine scenario of how it can happen, for example - if you try to test it with test database (with test users registered, but not with actual users), but with actual 'uploads/avatars' directory - then plugin removes all avatar files which are not matched to avatars, described in database.

are you sure that it is not your case ?

thanks.

Apache - Linux - Shared Hosting - MyBB 1.6.4

I used the clean avatars function and all avatars, except those within my gallery avatars, were deleted.

The board was not a test board, but there were only few members anyways.

if I prepare debug version of plugin, which will create file with debug data in uploads/avatars directory and do not touch avatar files at all - can you run it and give me this debug data ?

no any personal data will be gathered, only avatar file names and some mybb settings.

which version of plugin do you use ? 2.4.4 from mods.mybb,com, or the fix several posts earlier ?

No problem. I use the version from mybb mods site, did not konw there was another one.

No problem.

Thanks.

debug modification of plugin are attached.
zip file contains only one file - forumcleaner.php

please replace your inc/plugins/forumcleaner.php with this file.

then go to "ACP / Users & Groups" and simply enter into 'Orphaned avatars'.
it will show number of found orphaned avatars and silently create file uploads/avatars/forumcleaner.debug.txt

please post this file here and I'll try to understand how your issue was happened.

You can restore original forumcleaner.php or continue with this debug version. it only differs in this action - when you go into Menu item 'Orphaned avatars' in addition to finding orphans it creates debug data file.
