There is now a Spanish Localization of Spam Nuker, you can find it here: soteke’s weblog: Spam Nuker.  The download link is near the end of the article.  Thanks soteke for the great work!

I have released a pretty massive update to Spam Nuker 1.5(formerly known as Mass Delete)… already.  Sad I know, but some comments on the other announcement got me to thinking about an extra feature.  What is that cool new feature you ask… you can now select comments to mark as… NOT SPAM!  So if a comment has been mislabeled for some reason you can easily fix it.

So yeah you can grab 1.5.1 in the same exact place as 1.5, enjoy.

There is now a changelog included in the plugin itself, on the plugin manager screen you will see a changelog link in the plugins description.  Click the link and be astounded.

To make the plugin work in all option I modified line 59 to read:

foreach ($_POST['not_spam'] as $comment) :

an line 66 to read:

switch($_POST['action']) {

Now it works for unspam and nuke all too.

okay, sorry about that… just realised that I had the wrong plugin for what I wanted to do. sorry for your time!

I just tried installing this… as there are no instructions, I assume that I just pop it into the plugins directory, not changing anything. however when I do this, then try to view the plugins page, all the script is broken.

I’m using WP 1.2.1. Am I doing something wrong?

Oh, dude…found a typo…in the Nuker panel, you have two sections; one entitled “Mass Spam Nuke” and the other “Unspamer” which should be “Unspammer”. :)

Thanks for a great plugin, Chris!

Craig,

Are you sure, since I am running 1.5.1 and everything is fine.

Chris J. Davis, on March 1, 2007

Strange, I haven’t seen this and I haven’t heard anyone else have it. You always find bugs in my code!

LOL…well, sorry! I was trying to post my comment, and I kept getting an error, and by the time I actually posted it, I saw too late your suggestion! :p

Chris,

I’m seeing the same problem with 1.5.1 at this point.

Chris,

Just stopped in to #wordpress and got some help from the gang there…turns out it’s an encoding problem - Mac/Win/*nix line endings. Admiral Justin uploaded a re-encoded version for me, then everything was all right in the universe!

Those folks in #wordpress are awesome…just like you, Chris!

This plugin craters the Plugins page in the Admin Panel in WP 1.51.

As usual, trying to deal with spam only serves to suck the enjoyment out of having a site. Makes you wonder why one even bothers to keeps a site up and running.

Chris,
I didn’t even activate the plugin. All I did was drop the file into the plugins folder, and when I visited the Plugins panel it was a huge mess of code. Simply removing the plugin from the folder cured the problems in the panel.

Okay boys you have two options here.

1. Go into the plugin editor, click on the cjd_delete.php link, it will be all kinds of text too,but click and it will load it for editing. Once you have it in the WordPress editor just go ahead and click edit. You don’t have to change anything, and when it reloads everything will be right with the world again.

2. You can download the plugin again from the above link and it should work. I have tested this one and it works fine after you download and install it. And you guys were right, it was borked somehow, I am not sure what the problem was but it is fixed now in the download.

Well there you go, the easiest method would be 1. since all you have to do is have WP write the file back out and it fixes whatever encoding problem was there.

Chris I’m afraid this is not working anymore after the recent WordPress upgrade. At least for me anyway. When I hit the nuke em all button, nothing happens and when I try to manually select the messages to be deleted and hit the nuke’em button I get this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home2/shawng77/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cjd_delete.php on line 50

Any ideas?

Chris J. Davis, on March 1, 2007

That is strange Shawn, since I am running 1.6 and the plugin still works fine. I will check a few things and get back to you.

Chris J. Davis, on March 1, 2007

Hey Shawn,

I think the first step is for you to update to the latest release of Spam Nuker. It is currently at version 1.5.3 and you are running 1.5.1. I would have updated for you, but your plugin files are 644, to edit through the admin they need to be 666.

You can download the newest version here try that out and let me know if it fixes your problems.

Shawn Grimes, on March 1, 2007

Indeed Chris. Any luck finding a reason? You can log in and see for yourself if that would help things.

personal avatar

Shawn Grimes, on March 1, 2007

Yep, that did it. Thanks Chris I didn’t even realize 1.5.3 was out and about. There are a couple of display bugs but it may be my resolution though.
