Drupal Revision Deletion Module

Posted in

The first Drupal module, Revision Deletion, has been developed for and posted at Skejo.com. It can be downloaded here. Once our CVS account at Drupal.org is established, we will also share it with the rest of the Drupal community.

This module was developed originally for our needs at Skejo.com to automate the deletion of aging revisions. We just didn't want to bloat our database with the many 'in process' revisions that result from our editing procedures. The final form is what we really want, and after a time the 'in process' revisions are not needed anymore. Though it is not much of an issue yet, we are planning ahead and creating the tools now.

DESCRIPTION/FEATURES
--------------------
* Enables the ability to mass delete aging node revisions. Possible settings include node type, the age of node revision before being deleted, along with a cron frequency setting. The revisions may be deleted after review on an administer page as well. This module will NEVER delete the current revision of a node.

* Automate the process of deleting old revisions with the cron functionality.

IDEALLY SUITED FOR:
-------------------

-- Any site with limited database size. Aged revisions, if not needed anymore, can bloat the size of the drupal database. If 10MBs or less is your maximum database size, this module may help you recover space.

-- Collabrative writing/editing site. The revisions of node may pile up quickly during the article creation phase, but then the article/node stablizes and is rarely touched. If those 'in process' revisions are not needed long term, this automated tool may help clean up the node revisions table.

Please let us know if you benefit from this module, or if you have any feature requests.
