Extreme

so for the back up is it file / backups / Download or generate a full backup is this the direction i want to take?

ayeaye bruce

i am not seeing what you mean... http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee252/tregonia/wetf.jpg this is what i see in myphpadmin

after my wifes doctor appt, the order will be...backup, phpadmin, remove table, remove script, new backup. test and hope for best

dude...you rock!!! i just woke up and have somethings to do but i will do this when i get back. i will let you know how it goes

the spelling cow mod

Danke

which is somethign i reall cant afford

Actually none were added to my knowledge. The first code to go in was this >ALTER TABLE `phpbb_users` ADD `user_autospell` TINYINT( 1 ) DEFAULT '1'; I dont know when it started to be exact but all i know is that I cannot post anything on my boards while on my phone. This may sound small to some being that myself and all others can still post, but when you do as much work as i do using my phone *TREO 680* What it does is cripple me. Now this mod started to get on my nerves and i did a second modification to the table in order to turn off the autospeller >ALTER TABLE phpbb_users MODIFY user_autospell TINYINT( 1 ) DEFAULT '0'; At this point it has proven to be more of a hassle than anything and my true goal is to have the tables fixed and the backed up files put in and call it a day. Then only thing i dont know how to do is the SQL stuff

i run a forums using phpBB 2.0.22 and have put on a mod that is giving me problems. I want to remove this mod but am not sure about the SQL modification I made. I have the files backed up from before the mod going in but with the SQL mod, how do I remove the mod? do I need to put in a new SQL mod to negate first one or is nothing required beyond the files being changed to backed up version of the said files? the phpB mod in question was Spelling cow which is a spellchecker. now I just want it gone

ok so ALTER TABLE does go in...thx

i dont even know where to begin so i will just ask here. on the phpBB site i was told this.. now i am in the cPanel and found the location he spkoe of but in this line... ># #-----[ SQL ]------------------------------------------ # ALTER TABLE phpbb_users ADD user_rank2 INT(11) DEFAULT '0' AFTER user_rank; ALTER TABLE phpbb_users ADD user_rank3 INT(11) DEFAULT '0' AFTER user_rank2; I know i have to put it in the SQL thinkg and hit go...but do i put all of the line or just what there is behind "ALTER TABLE"?

resolved would have it working with the mod

i just did it and a backup i had worked

I just broke myforums. I tried to input the attachments mod and now i just get a debug error. I use WS_FTP do i need to go and delete all files fromt he forums folder again and then replace with a backed up copy (made before i uploaded)? I cant seem to know how to delete a whole folder cause it wont let me if things are in it. so do i need to go on a delte spree? hhhhheeeeelllllllpppp

akkk...but i forgot to get an answer to this question

Am I allowed to use the FTP to xfer things to a different computer? What i mean in this is, Most know i am running my system for a game. I have a server computer set up to run the game on. I just reformated the server computer for the game, but if i can just rar up my current root on my primary computer, place it on the ftp, loggin on the other computer sitting beside me and pull it to over write current files...then my life will be easy. Is this allowed? Will i exceed anything? Should i not do this?

Get the point

I thank you...now i jsut have to get my boards up to par. I am rested and time to get to work. Oh and is it cool to "borrow" some of your cool looking smilies?

i actually didnt know they existed until i was at my old host. I will seek out phpBB tomorrow and see if i can get the mod's for it all and they are not listed to be turned on. If i didnt know better, they would have never existed. But i already know...oh yes....i know

well its not that they are not working. I just think they are not avail on this version or perhaps were things of my old wannabe host...thing are... >>No Attachments (ability to add files to forum posts to have downloaded) >>Calendar >>Image Admin section >>Styles Admin (ability to change the look of the board)(akkk,,,there is only sub-silver available) >>Karma (the ability to give points to members for stuff called karma points) >>Rank Colors (ability to add colors to the ranks) >>User List (lists all members to no have to do thru memberlist. here you can activate multiples accounts and such) My old site is site up for the time being...look at its look vs the new look old tregonia.freeforums.org/index.php vs new http://tregonia.net/forums/index.php I am getting some sleep now though..I will check on this in the AM

things like the calendar, attachments, karma, sytyles and such are not here.

Personaly thanks to TCH-Andy for taking the time to help me get set up But we go into more questions What version did we put up? There are some things from the admin panel that are not available now. Do i contact phpBB for updates?

oh yeah...livechat...solution is near

also...the files for the forums are..... phpBB-2.0.22/phpBB2/*then all the files* at what point do i just put them in the public_html? should i remove the files on webdisk since i am in the ftp and i know how to xfer in there?
