Question Pruning

[Jem]

Is there currently a way to prune the shouts but keep the total number of shouts? My members really enjoy the notifications when they hit a big number, but the shouts table is now taking up about 50MB of space. If there is no way to do this, is the size of the table going to be an issue going forward?

Thanks, love DBTech

You're going to have to get to 1 GB or bigger before it's even remotely going to be an issue.

There is currently a lifetime shouts counter that isn't pruned when the SB is pruned

 

[Jem]

Thanks on both counts So I can just use /prune to erase all the chat log and it will keep the numbers?

 

[Fillip H.]

If you look in the archive, it will say "Top 10 Shouters" and "Top 10 Shouters (Lifetime)".

First values will be erased, second will not

Sorry to belabor the point, but one more clarification question if you will.

Do the user has reached xxxx shouts! messages come off of the lifetime shouts number?

 

[Ozzy47]

No it comes off the current ones before pruning.

Ah, there in lies the issue. While the lifetime shouts would not change, they would appear to be reset to the members due to those messages. Is there anyway to switch this? Is it as easy as a variable name in a template, or more complicated than that?

I've changed it, you can re-download /dbtech/vbshout/includes/class_dm_shout.php and it'll work
