Mass remove of edit lock

Lock ? You mean draft versions ?

Kristof has written an extension to automatically delete dusty drafts.

He's going to publish it as a contrib as soon as he's get the time (or recover from the new year hangover ? ;)

I guess Kristof is off-line, so here is a link to his his initial work:

http://pubsvn.ez.no/community/trunk/hacks/untoucheddrafts/

The patches are for 3.7.2 and need to be tested a bit more.

However, if you are on 3.6.x or even 3.5.x, the php script included should already alleviate some frustrations:

http://pubsvn.ez.no/community/trunk/hacks/untoucheddrafts/bin/php/

The script checks for drafts and will delete those for which the current user is not logged in. The script does make the difference between real drafts and internal drafts because of a "property" that for internal drafts the create and modified times are equal. In the patch this is a bit more robust by introducing a new status value.

Stay tuned, there are more urgent problems/bugs to be solved (including a nasty one with the notification system and digest option, turning ez publish in a kind of spam engine)

Kudos to the nice work from Kristof
