How to mass delete users from list

[potiron]

Hello

I am using PHPList 3.0.2

I am trying to remove all users from the database (for a reload of the emails).
However I cannot find how to do that in my version.

On the forum I found old discussions saying you have to remove all emails from list, and then after in Subscribers>Manage Subscriber>Reconcile subscribers I can do delete users that are not in any list.
However that does not exist on my screen. There is no option "delete all users who are not subscribed to any list'"

There is no option "delete all users who are not subscribed to any list'"

Yes, I know.

But the fact is that there is no simple way like in 2.19 where I could simply run "delete all users who are not subscribed to any list".

I wonder why such very handy things have disappear in 3.0.2... (same as delete messages).

Hi All

yes it is indeed strange that useful features from the earlier releases appear to have evaporated in this latest version. Someone will provide a hack in time but for now there is a hack available that will switch on the Delete and Edit Message functions that went walk-about....

Have a look at

You may find something useful......

Have fun out there......

Ok, but that is not what your first post says, and the tutorial I provided is as simple as it gets. No need to HACK anything ...

Nope, it does not work well for me (I have attribute etc...) and it's time consuming and requires Notepad++, while it could be a simple button, or link, like in 2.19...

Thanks, yes I have already implemented it

I had a look in admin/reconcileuser.php and apparently all the previous options are commented:

Code: Select all

print '<ul class="reconcile">';
#echo '<li>'.PageLinkButton("reconcileusers&amp;option=nolists",$GLOBALS['I18N']->get("Delete all subscribers who are not subscribed to any list")).'</li>';
#echo '<li>'.PageLinkButton("reconcileusers&amp;option=invalidemail",$GLOBALS['I18N']->get("Find users who have an invalid email")).'</li>';
#echo '<li>'.PageLinkButton("reconcileusers&amp;option=adduniqid",$GLOBALS['I18N']->get("Make sure that all users have a UniqID")).'</li>';
#echo '<li>'.PageLinkButton("reconcileusers&amp;option=markinvalidunconfirmed",$GLOBALS['I18N']->get("Mark all users with an invalid email as unconfirmed")).'</li>';
#echo '<li>'.PageLinkButton("reconcileusers&amp;option=deleteinvalidemail",$GLOBALS['I18N']->get("Delete users who have an invalid email")).'</li>';
echo '<li>'.PageLinkButton("reconcileusers&amp;option=markallhtml",$GLOBALS['I18N']->get("Mark all subscribers to receive HTML")).'</li>';
echo '<li>'.PageLinkButton("reconcileusers&amp;option=markalltext",$GLOBALS['I18N']->get("Mark all subscribers to receive text")).'</li>';
#echo '<li>'.$GLOBALS['I18N']->get('To try to (automatically)').' '. PageLinkButton("reconcileusers&amp;option=fixinvalidemail",$GLOBALS['I18N']->get("Fix emails for users who have an invalid email")).'</li>';
#echo '<li>'.PageLinkButton("reconcileusers&amp;option=removestaleentries",$GLOBALS['I18N']->get("Remove Stale entries from the database")).'</li>';
#echo '<li>'.PageLinkButton("reconcileusers&amp;option=mergeduplicates",$GLOBALS['I18N']->get("Merge Duplicate Users")).'</li>';
print '</ul>';

So I have just uncommented the first one to fix the issue:

Code: Select all

echo '<li>'.PageLinkButton("reconcileusers&amp;option=nolists",$GLOBALS['I18N']->get("Delete all subscribers who are not subscribed to any list")).'</li>';

I tested and it worked very well
