Icy Phoenix

Hello, I deleted an user and I want to delete all post that this users wrote, but I can't do it, because this user doesn't exists.

How I can delete all post of this user?

Thanks.
[b]version of icy phoenix: 1.3.0.53a[quote]

I would like to know this one too, very useful.

Well ... Give me the error you get and I'll look at how you can fix it.

You may have to update the database with something like this

UPDATE `ip_posts` DELETE `user`='whatever' WHERE `user`=whatever;

If you respond properly to Informpro's post - Like WHAT are the posts telling you in regard to the deleted user's handle and ID etc - You may just get the string you need to do it.

Though I'm surprised (and I'm also not sure) that Icy Phoenix doesn't give you that option when you delete the user.

as munch as i know, Icy has´nt got the function.

Would be a n good idea, to include this in ACP

Icy normaly replaces the User_ID by anonimos in the front office, even if it mantains the User ID in the Database, it just changes The usergroup to -1 .

So you would have to search your DB Users Table for this user.

When you could run this consult in Phpmyadmin


replace ip with your prefix, and replace XXX with the user ID ( number)

Use
(BTW this is NOT the right way to do, you'll create many problems with topics / posts / ... You'd rather update ID to Anonymous.

Icy is doing this by default

changing User-Group to anonimous

have a look for example for Lopalongs old posts here. it says anonimous

It says "inactive user", that's another IP feature.

Correct me if I'm wrong?

Anonymous is a "user" for all want and purposes and simply needs to exist. He has no posts or anything else in any of the Db post's tables etc?

So assuming that the "deleted" user's posts have been changed to anonymous, and IF I'm not wrong, then I don't see any problems with deleting anonymous posts.

:?:

Either way - All Anakin wants to know is can it be done and how to do it - And any deletion of any user should be the same irrespective of who's IP he's being deleted from.

IF I had IP running - I'd create a user - Post a couple - delete him / her and find out "exactly" what happens in the DB - But I don't - - -

:mryellow:

Imagine you delete the first post of a thread (because the author of the thread has been deleted). Could you guess what will happen ?

outsch.

i forgot about that.

to much code today, did´nt think in it

that defenitly would drive the db crazy


better leave it as is, :shock:

You might go through your Forum, and delet the hole Post ( with answers) or move them all to Trash Bin

afterwards purge the Trash Bin and you should be done.

I know, this is a lot of work, speacialy if the user was very active

I'll think and see how it may works, at least to give it to you. But this is not my priority, so you should better do that at hand.

EDIT : in my version of IP, I have, in functions_users_delete.php, a function named ip_user_kill().

yep, thats the script that rewrites/updates all tables to user_name ANONIMOUS

but it want delet any post, only PM as far as I can see

You're right - It does remove the thread. :(

But! if anakin isn't worried about that, here's the string he will need to do it with.



Just change informpro to whatever the user handle is. :mryellow:

It's also important that the name be inside quotes. "user name" and NOT `user name`
