How to set up auto cleaning cronjob? #178

Open groe opened 6 years ago

groe commented 6 years ago

Hi there!

I don't fully understand how to use the new "Clean up submissions" feature from 1.9.0. It's enabled by default; do I have to set up anything else, like an actual cronjob? If so, how?

Thank you!

Benjamin

Set up a cronjob on your hosting platform, that calls the clean up action (actions/amForms/submissions/cleanUp) from the submissions controller. The CP settings define whether or not it will do anything which old submissions should be deleted.

Works, thank you!

Have you considered adding this to the README? Maybe with an example crontab entry? I can make a PR if you're fine with it.

Glad you got it working :)

I'll accept the PR if you have the time to add it there.

Whoops that took a while :grimacing:
