Sorry I didn't post the line of code...I fixed that.

But I do have another question. Where does the maincontrol.php go? forums/admin/ ?

I put it there and the options didn't show up in the admin cp (unless I am just blind and don't see them.

Upload maincontrol.php to your admin directory. Make sure you've made the modifications to admin/index.php to make it show in the navigation.

nice hack! Works lovely. Tnx

I Have it installed ok, but having problems doing a backup.

Is it the case that it will only backup to a location on the same server? Or will it backup to your local machine?

If it will only do it to the server would someone mind posting an example of a path so I know what to try.

I ain't to hot on linux :ermm:

Thanks in advance.

If you have cPanel, most likely the path will be something like:

/home/YOURACCTUSERNAME/public_html/these_are_folders_viewable_by_the_world

And you are correct in saying that they will only backup to the server. It will create a file on your server which you can then download to your local machine.

for which I should delete the Threads and Postings I don't understand

Very nice hack indeed. I'm not going to use it since i like doing everything myself, but i suggest adding an option to replace

mysqldump --opt
with
mysqldump --add-drop-table --all

since some servers might have restrictions on locking tables.
EDIT: By the way, it is guaranteed not going to work on a windows server, since the sytaxes for mysqldump and mysql are different.

Any idea what the path would be for a plesk server?

Thanks
