Never, ever use a beta hack on your live board without testing it first.. :p
It's very likely that any hack released in a beta state will be changed at least once before released as "final".


You're not completely screwed, but you're making life difficult for yourself.. Remove the database tables journal_comments, journal_entries, journal_moods, journal_settings and journals. Once you've done that, remove the "b" from the database tables bjournal, bjournal_comments and bjournal_entry. If bjournal_commentcount exists, remove it.


You may need to run these queries too..
[sql]ALTER TABLE user DROP canhavejournal[/sql][sql]ALTER TABLE usergroup DROP journalpermissions[/sql][sql]ALTER TABLE session DROP injournal[/sql]After that, you should be able to run the import script once again. You may want to wait for the next version though.. I'll have it done within the next hour or so.

Thanks a lot for your support, especially considering I went ahead and did something blatantly dumb that I know I shouldn't have. The problem I have is that my vB database is 400 meg, it's a bit of a bugger to back up as regularly as I'd like to - my host keeps backups on my behalf but his response time is 1-3 weeks. But I will learn from my mistakes! I'll get onto undoing my actions as per your advice and will wait for the new release. ;)

Looking forward to getting your journal running!

journal_inserted_mood_successfully already exists, but the others have been added in v0.31 of the importer.. :)


Don't worry about it, everyone has different circumstances.. ;)
However, before using any script that automatically runs queries on your live database I would recommend backing up beforehand and/or testing it on a seperate test board.

vBJournal isn't my Journal script, but hopefully I will be working with AN-net at some point on the project.

v0.31 of Jim Port is now released.. :)

Aha sorry a little confusion on my part there. That's all those brain cells dying from substance abuse lol. It actually just occured to me that I can just make a dump of those tables as a backup... Silly me. Will fire it up in a moment!

Success! I had to edit the jimport a little to remove certain steps but it all worked like a dream from thereon in! I've now got the journal script up and running 100% with all of my existing entries. Thanks a whole lot Oblivion_Knight. :)

No problem, and for future reference there's no "_" in my name.. ;)

Oops... What am I like lol. :D

I can't remember if I created this myself or if it was part of RyAngel's hack, but I had a phrase called viewing_journals --> Viewing Journals and matching entries in functions_online so Who's Online would be accurate when people were in journals. That phrase seems to have been removed by the importer.

Yup, the importer removes any phrases that contain the words "journal" or "jbuddy".

I'm afraid you'll have to re-add these (they sound like custom ones to me).

No worries, already taken care of. Thanks. :)
