Blank Table Prefix

[Dave Hawley]

I notice many Queries to run for hacks require the Table prefix and shown in config.php. However, on checking mine all I see is;

// ****** TABLE PREFIX ******
// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = '';


What should/can I do in this case?

No hacks should ever "require" it - usually it's the other way around. They forget about prefixes and don't add them to the code. If they do have it, and yours is empty, then everything should work as expected.

If you are reading manual instructions, just ignore any 'prefix_' or similar in the instructions.

Hmmm, this one requires the Table prefix for a Query

Without running the said query the forum exclusion box user choose from is blank.

Sorry, my bad. After reading 10 pages of that Thread I found out there is a new forum setting added to the forum manager.
