sed_cleaner
Perhaps useful to some who posted opinions here.
- Basic Use video (Ogg Vorbis format)
- Advanced Use video (Ogg Vorbis format)
NB: >>>>> THIS IS FOR USE ON NEW SITES <<<<<
A little plugin that’s meant to be used right after first installation on a new textpattern site. It…
- Removes default content (comments, links, files, articles, images & categories of all kinds)
- Resets a few prefs (custom fields, spam lookups)
- Allows auto-installation of your favourite plugins
- Allows auto-installation/update of pages, forms and styles.
- Allows scripted config of your favourite preferences
- Allows scripted removal of sections, pages & forms
- Allows scripted blanking of pages, forms and styles (with special handling for the default page)
- Allows scripted addition of sections
- Attempts to remove the setup directory†
- Can try to remove other directories such as the RPC server files†
- then removes itself.
† These operations may fail if the filesystem permissions don’t allow the script to make the changes.
Please don’t use on any install with content you wish to keep.

Sweet :)
Does it also mean that the ID# of the first article I will publish will be #1 instead of #2?
(that will give it a really cool “format” feel)

It should reset all auto-incrementing IDs on the articles and other content it removes as it uses a MySQL TRUNCATE TABLE query to do its thing. Specifically from the documentation for that call…
“The table handler does not remember the last used AUTO_INCREMENT value, but starts counting from the beginning. This is true even for MyISAM and InnoDB, which normally do not reuse sequence values.”

Re: sed_cleaner
Version 0.3 released
Adds…
- …a small scripting module to allow you to record and perform your favourite cleanups/pref settings
Simply work out your must-have settings and record them into the example cleanups.php file. Include this in the textpattern directory of your standard installation and when you activate sed_cleaner it will perform the cleanups you have specified/scripted in cleanups.php after it has done its standard cleanups.

Re: sed_cleaner
Thank Steve! Very nice!
Is it possible to put in the same directory as cleanups.php all the plugins text files and insert them in the same initialisation process ?
