How can I delete all the messages in a Squishdot site???
How-To Posted by on Thursday October 03, 11:16AM, 2002
from the dept.
Hi, I would like to know how can I delete all the messages of a Squishdot site automatically. Now, the only option is to select each message individually, but if you have a thousand of messages is a very tough labor. Anyone knows anything about this???

What I'd do is create a new Squishdot Site, delete all the methods in it and copy them over from your old site.

Hey presto: empty Squish ;-)

cheers,

Chris

Zope allows you to access it's files via FTP. I would just login to your zope server via FTP and delete out the individual files that way using a FTP client.

For more information about how to login to Zope via FTP just visit this tutorial

The only disadvantage to this is that you must have access to your Zope server so that you can modify the port number that zope allows FTP to run on.

    Squishdot postings cannot be accessed for deleted via FTP.

    sorry,

Can you just set the "Postings in this site expire after X days of inactivity" on the options tab to 0?

I haven't tried it, but it might work. 0 might be a special number, so using 1 would at least get rid of most of the postings, then you could manually delete the rest quickly.

Don't forget to set it back to what it was before.

Please let us know if this works for you.

There is one more way to do this, if you are comfortable with HTML and Javascript.

1. Open the file
\lib\python\Products\Squishdot\Squishdot_manage_postings.dtml

2.Add a button at the appropriate place in dtml. Call it something like 'Check All'.

3. Write a simple Javascript method (say checkAll()) that checks all the checkboxes on a page.

4. Attach this method to the button by using the onClick attribute of the button.
For example,


Hope this helps.

    This is pretty cool :-)

    If you could put a patch in the Source Forge Tracker I'd really appreciate it...

    cheers,

    Chris

      Well, that's a pretty useless comment.

      What did you try?

      What did you expect to happen?

      What actually happened?
