Do they give you DB access? We can handle this in one foul swoop.Thank you everyone. Appreciated.
I don't want to waste too much of your time. I'm busy as hell myself and need to step out now, then do a work project when I get back.
If I don't see much progress on reducing the database by tomorrow night I'm just going to hire somebody. I'll ask if I think I want a crowdfund.
You're in.
Yes, in the cpanel.Do they give you DB access? We can handle this in one foul swoop.
I don't remember how Joomla works, but if version history is stored in the DB, it can be DELETE * FROM yada real quick. It can also be a column that has a reference to another table, which can be handled too. Not sure if you can export DB, but I can help if I had a copy or access to it.Yes, in the cpanel.
I have no idea how that works. I don't know how I'd give you access to my cpanel without my password.I don't remember how Joomla works, but if version history is stored in the DB, it can be DELETE * FROM yada real quick.

No worries then, I'm gonna sign up and try to contribute as well.I have no idea how that works. I don't know how I'd give you access to my cpanel without my password.
an idea: give him a temp password, one that is randomized, to provide access so he can find a way to export everything, once he's done, edit your password backI have no idea how that works. I don't know how I'd give you access to my cpanel without my password.
I think the contributed efforts is what's making this easier, so we can proceed with manual old version article deletion and resort to DB stuff last if it's needed, in case we run out of time.an idea: give him a temp password, one that is randomized, to provide access so he can find a way to export everything, once he's done, edit your password back
but i also understand privacy concerns, this is mostly just an idea, probably a bad one in the end
i just don't know how else it could be done besides this obvious hard way, which i'm okay with, i'm up to like 20ish articles now
should we add an announcement to lure people in to make accounts if they want like, a color username and sparkles for a month or so?I think the contributed efforts is what's making this easier, so we can proceed with manual old version article deletion and resort to DB stuff last if it's needed, in case we run out of time.
