Purge old registrants and their attached files?

Hi,

Is it a simple way to purge the registrants and their attached files using  a limit date (1 or more month)?

Thanks for your reply!

Hello Robert

We do not support that option at the moment. Something we can try to support for in the future

Hi Tuan,

I created a (raw) plugin to delete oldest events, their registrants and the attachments of these registrants.
The params are the time period between two purges, the period we keep the data, the path of the attachments, an option to define the internal name of the attachments custom field, a debug option and a "lastrun" hidden field.

It works but I'm using "onAfterRender" to execute the code, so it's too often triggered.
Is it a trigger in Event Booking I could use instead of "onAfterRender" ?

Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Robert

PS: it's a "system" plugin

Hello Robert

There is no trigger in Events Booking which you can use. You should add a parameter such as Cache Time (same as in Events Booking -> Reminder Plugins) to control how often the plugin should run. I think it should only run once per week (or if it is needed, once per day). It should not be run so often

Thanks Tuan for your reply.

I'm yet using an option to run the cod only every x days, so the code to purge is not executed if the delay (2 or 3 weeks) is not reached.
Each time the plugin is triggered (for each page change in frontend for example) I get the params and I compare the actuel time, the lastrun time and the delay param and return if the delay is greater than the difference between these two times, otherwise I run the code. So it's what you are advising me.

But as I'm not a coder, so I would like to find a trigger which triggers the plugin much less often than "onAfterRender".

Hello Robert

You can use other event trigger like :

- onAfterSaveEvent : Trigger when an event is stored
- onAfterStoreRegistrant : Triggered when a registration record is created and stored in database
- onAfterPaymentSuccess : Triggered when a registration is marked as paid (for example, when someone completes payment for a registration)
- onEventDisplay : Triggered when an event is being displayed on event details page

These are events for Events Booking

Thanks Tuan,

I will try with them.

OK Robert. You can look at the plugins for Events Booking (in plugins/eventbooking folder) to see how we handle these events in the extension

Thank you Tuan!

I am very grateful for all your advice
