Ok ta :)

Hi Capn
Running these queries allowed me to install the Quoteit on my 3.52 board, but, the hack is not "finding" all the the quotes that were previously in the database (from my 3.07 board running the older Quoteit). Is there another step or query that I have to run to enable the new hack to show the old quotes in the database?

Thanks!

So it shows some but not all of your quotes? You must either have some quotes still awaiting moderation or have a minimum rating threshold set.

Well, according to my database in my test board now, it lost all of my quotes. It's accepting new ones, and appears to be functioning correctly, but, my "quotes" and "quoterating" databases are empty (except for the new test quotes I put in.

At this point, is it as simple as exporting those two databases from my original board, and importing them back into the test board? Got any suggestions for upgrading the original board so that I don't lose the two "quote" databases?

Exporting the quotes and quotesratings sql files from my original board is no problem using phpmyadmin, but, I'm uncertain as to how to succesfully reimport them back into my test board, to get the original quotes to show up. "Uploading" the files didn't work.... (I'm not exactly a whiz when it comes to mysql).

Thanks!

OK, that was easy, lol.

You have to drop the old database before you can install the new one. Just figured that out. Got it all working on my test board.

I guess dropping the old tables first, installing the hack fresh, and reuploading the backup sql databases is the easiest way to do this.

Thanks Capn, I'm learning all the time. Appreciate the help.

It shouldn't mess with your quotes or ratings unless you uninstall it, in which case it will drop both tables. But as long as you've got it working, I guess everything's peachy. :nervous:

My mistake. I did uninstall it, because I had lost my index page. I'll try those queries on my main board and install the hack fresh.

-quote_addquote is uncached
-Would it be possible to have another sort item, have it sort by random.
-Is there a way to make it parse smilies, bold, quotes etc.

Good ideas, they're on the list to be included in the next version.

Great hack installed easily.

Just wondering how I can make it so this hack fits in with the rest of my forumhome? Currently it sticks out like a sore thumb :)
