Only clear things in table over a certain age | Forum

As many of you many have noticed there is no way to clear data automatically in the messages tables (also conversation, shared files etc, all tables associated with messages) that is over a determined age (that I know of anyway). I would like to know how to do this. I know I can delete the table content 500 at a time but this is time consuming and I would rather have something that was written in somewhere or a plugin that meant messages older than a certain age (say 3 months) were deleted.
Is this something that others are interested in? Is there someone out there that could make this happen?

Abbey, this question has been discussed here: http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/38464. Also, you can vote to increase amount of voices for this suggestion on our uservoice board: https://oxwall.uservoice.com/...lete-old-messages-fr.
Any way, this is considered as custom code modification. If you are not familiar with the code modification or plugin development, it would be better for you to find a developer who can help you. You can do it here: http://www.oxwall.org/market/.

Abbey, since it considered as custom code modification I'll move this topic to Custom Code Modifications Forum.
