Remove comments globally - Uzh - 2010-01-03

Hallo!

It took a while since I didn't watch my gallery closely. Only my webmaster told me he got a lot of mails to "galerie@mydomainwhateveritiscalled.de". Now I took the closer look and found the reason. Quite a lot of spam. About 1500 comments.

Is there a way of removing the comments globally? Just take the risk to delete the three serious comments, but delete all of them?

Thanks for your help.

Georg

If you mean the actual comments? You can just drop your comment database table and re-run setup to re-create it.

If you mean to turn them off globally, disable the comment form plugin.

You might want to enable a spam filter or the Captcha to limit this in the future. Or you can just disable the emails.

Hallo sbillard!

Yes, I mean the actual comments. The 1500 of them. So I try to find the database table. Can you give a hint about how it's called and where to find it in a usual zp-installation?

Thanks so much for your help.

Georg

In a normal installation it will be called zp_comments and will be in the database you told Zenphoto to use. If you have selected a different prefix from zp_ then it will have that string prepended to comments. You will have to use a site tool to access your database directly such as phpMyAdmin.
