Shoutbox chat deletes

Post by sonne »

Does anybody know how to clear the past history from the shout box?

I don't mean by clicking the X, but I have pages and pages of old chatter ever since we lauuched. is there a way to automatically purge them after maybe a few days? What file is all the old chatter stored in?

Thanks.

There isn't an acp control for that so it is a case of deleting via admin permissions on the 'x' but.. I am 90% sure, that it auto purges itself over time so it doesn't fill up the database too much.

Ah yea, still quite a long way round though. Maybe there is a setting that can be changed in the tables to purge after less shouts, not looked into it too much.
