Hi
I'm going to set up usenet <-> forum gateway on my forum. Forums in one of the categories will display Usenet messages. I would like to automatically prune this forums by removing messages older by e.g. 60 days. Is it possible?

Thanks.

You can setup a script to run the forum's topic prunning time via cron.

So, I've spent some time looking at admprune.php, and the FUD API, and from comments in the code, and a message displayed by admprune.php about running a system check, it doesn't seem like a good idea to delete messages from a forum.

So now I've decided to only display messages from the last few days, and not actually delete them. The net result is the same, and I don't have to worry about things getting out of sync, etc.

Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time locating the spot in the code that pulls the list of Topics. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

You will have to add an extra WHERE clause to all SQL statements that select from fud26_thread. Personally I think it would be easier to just delete the old threads and run the consistency checker afterwards.
