: Everything broke, I need to hack my backup file...? : yawnbox February 16, 2011, 10:46:01 PM Hello Shape5 community,
I was running phpbb 3.0.8 and then I installed the Political theme. (forum.pirate.is). It looked/s like crap. Nowhere did I see a requirement to install the Site Shaper manually, so I did that a few hours later. I followed the steps, step-by-step very carefully. Then my live forum got a SQL error. The SQL query was run successfully so I don't know why or where it messed up. So fine, I have backups, and a little downtime won't kill anyone. But then I ran into more problems. I loaded up the full Political package with the Site Shaper included (3.0.7). I immediately updated to 3.0.8, no problem. But then I tried to restore my forum. It didn't take effect. I figured out that I just had to change the database prefix's in the backup sql file to the new database prefix. So I restored and the content of my forum and it's users came back, but so did the ugly pre-site-shaper style. so now i'm stuck. I can install everything fresh again and it will look great (=no users, no content). or I can restore and have SQL errors (= no forum). So is it feasible to hack my backup file so that it doesn't affect any of the changes made by the political theme and site shaper? Thank you. : Re: Everything broke, I need to hack my backup file...? : Dave M February 17, 2011, 09:15:54 AM Im so sorry you are having problems with political im in the process of making things alot easier for people to install.
In order to help you i need to know. Are you able to restore your site to its former glory Thanks Dave : Re: Everything broke, I need to hack my backup file...? : yawnbox February 17, 2011, 11:27:24 AM Im so sorry you are having problems with political im in the process of making things alot easier for people to install. In order to help you i need to know. Are you able to restore your site to its former glory Thanks Dave Hi Dave, Right now it's as good as it's going to get without redoing it completely again. None of the original mods are installed, even though my restore file has the back-end thinking that there are mods because of the mysql entires. I am waiting to do any large developments until I have the Political theme installed and completely functional. Everything is going to be developed around multi-lingual support. Let me know if that answers your question. Thank you. Chris : Re: Everything broke, I need to hack my backup file...? : Dave M February 17, 2011, 02:06:42 PM OK for now get your site up and running the S5 Controls is no longer developed and now goes by the name Vertex Framework i havent yet got round to updating political but if you give me 3 - 4 days i could have it updated it comes with a better installer and a lot more functionality including a Menu Manager and a Module Manager.

So now just to test, I activated it: http://forum.pirate.is/forumtest2/ ... and something is clearly wrong. : Re: Everything broke, I need to hack my backup file...? : Dave M February 23, 2011, 05:40:25 PM Im so sorry i keep forgetting to put it back to normal table prefix so it gives that error lol ive reuploaded the second package
also ive attached the file i made chages to to this post Place it in /store/mods/vertex_framwork_2_0_0_with_political/ : Re: Everything broke, I need to hack my backup file...? : yawnbox February 23, 2011, 06:21:42 PM Im so sorry i keep forgetting to put it back to normal table prefix so it gives that error lol ive reuploaded the second package also ive attached the file i made chages to to this post Place it in /store/mods/vertex_framwork_2_0_0_with_political/ Things are a little better. http://forum.pirate.is/forumtest3/ I started from scratch (restoring my forum, too), and I still get one error when installing the Mod : Error:Table 'FORUMTEST3.bb_config' doesn't exist INSERT INTO bb_config (config_name, config_value, is_dynamic) VALUES('political_s5_backimage', '', 0) As you can see, the forum still won't work with the displayed error: : File missing./styles/S5_Political/s5_data/menu_style.php Just a note, when I go ahead and force install the mod, it asked me to return to an /install/ page to reconfigure the vertex framework. and when i first go to the page it shows two instances of the install. when i click on the top one to submit the configure, the second one disappears, but nothing else displays to say that it completed. additionally, when i go back to the ACP and click on the Vertex tab, all it shows is an empty blue box with a blue button saying: Create New Block, and that's all is on the page. : Re: Everything broke, I need to hack my backup file...? : Dave M February 23, 2011, 06:49:13 PM Grab the file from this post it should sort the error out
