Thread "Deactivate Comics" in forum "Tips and Tricks/Support *"

Posted at 1:03AM, Mar. 14, 2023

I'm looking to move the archive off the site. Is there a way to wipe all the pages from the archive in one action, or do I just have to delete the comic?

I'd like to keep the landing page so I can come back periodically and post special pages to subscribers, but to do that, it appears that I'd have to erase each page one by one.

Is there a faster way? I'm specifically looking to purge everything except for the last two, most recent pages.

Dasien's been on here since almost the beginning of Drunk Duck. I want to start fresh, and I'd rather not have the baggage. I think the old comic is really amateurish, and with my new project coming, I don't want to invite comparisons.

Dasien, right?
I can do do that in the admin section if you like :)

Yes. Dasien. Everything except for the last two pages. Just take it all down.

OK, they will be permanently deleted from the server.

I'm just trying to find a way to do it that only deactivates them and not permanently destroys them all.

I can do it but only one page at a time and it's torture… The only way I can do it quickly a mass deletion. I don't like that option

If the pages need to be mass-deleted, then that's fine. I used the word "deactivation" and then kind of changed what I was asking mid-post.

It's ok, Alexey was able to code it up for me.
With something as old and central to DD as Dasien I'd like to archive it rather than destroy it totaly. So there's a record of the old comments and interactions saved somewhere for posterity.
