Rοb Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Just a couple of small suggestions...11. You delete an entire forum (which has several sub-forums) and send the lot to the "Trash Can" forum.2. You then empty the trash can.STOP... you can't do that because there's no option to "mass delete" sub-forums & posts!This has happened a couple of times to me whilst re-organising my forums.I would like to see an option to properly empty the "Trash Can" forum (or any other for that matter) where it is possible to delete an entire forum (including sub-forums) with one click instead of doing them one by one...2"Trash Can Task". Automatically delete the trashcan contents every X days with (obviously) the option to enable/disable the task and change the # of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dll Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I don;t think there is a task for removing the trash but you can already remove everything from there. Just select prune/mass move from the options menu, make sure prune only/don't move is selected and then remove the not if pinned topic tick, and click check form submission and it'll delete all the topics in there.

Mert Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 +1 ;)It's really annoying to enter ACP then click Management tab, then click the dropdown image next to the forum, and click "Empty Forum..." >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I agree, a way to recursively delete sub-forums and posts would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Does the "Empty Forum" ACP option delete sub forums? I didn't think it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rοb Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Does the "Empty Forum" ACP option delete sub forums? I didn't think it did.Nope. You have to do them all individually which can be pretty time consuming if there are a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Personally, I'd like to see the ability to do that. Typically trash cans don't get purged, especially not automatically, unless you use a task. Allowing the "empty" button to allow the destruction recursively (optional the the user default to no) would make things easier on me, especially when reusing development forums databases :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
