Auto-pruning in 2.2

Post by haravikk »

Hey, I'm wondering what file(s) actually handle auto-pruning in v2.2 (or rather 2.1)?
I'm mainly just curious to see how phpBB is currently doing this, as php doesn't seem to be all that good a language for scheduling things like automatic forum pruning and the like.
Images in sigs! please.

I found this in viewforum.php

Code: Select all

// Do the forum Prune thang - cron type job ...
	if ($forum_data['prune_next'] < time() && $forum_data['enable_prune'])
	{
		include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_admin.'.$phpEx);

		if ($forum_data['prune_days'])
		{
			auto_prune($forum_id, 'posted', $forum_data['forum_flags'], $forum_data['prune_days'], $forum_data['prune_freq']);
		}
		if ($forum_data['prune_viewed'])
		{
			auto_prune($forum_id, 'viewed', $forum_data['forum_flags'], $forum_data['prune_viewed'], $forum_data['prune_freq']);
		}
	}

As it stands at present (and in 2.0.x) the auto-pruning does not run on an exact schedule, but rather it runs on the next page view of the relevant script after the time it should run using a test (as above) to determine if it should run or not.
