FORUMDISPLAY - I wiped it - How do I restore?!
 

I have asked at the vb support forum and for the past 2 hours have had no reply. I'm desperate. Please.....for the love anything you all hold dear, please help me.... Please!


I manually edited my "FORUMDISPLAY" template via phpmyadmin. However, the changes didn't take effect so I deleted the template thinking the template with the "-1" value would take over. Alas I no longer have a "FORUMDISPLAY" template on my forum. In my adminCP there is no "FORUMDISPLAY" template and as such my forum is unusable. The "FORUMDISPLAY" template - as I'm sure you know - is pretty crucial to the forum being used. Its no longer tehre.

I have the "FORUMDISPLAY" entry in the table, however it doesn't show up in the admincp so I can only assume there is a setting I am missing

It is this setting I am BEGGING you all to reveal to me. Am I missing something? I( need to get my forum back online!! PLEASE. Help me. :(

how big is your forum.. how many posts & members on it??

vB support should get back to you about this one.

Why were you editing a template using phpmyadmin? You should stick with the AdminCP. Saving it outside of AdminCP won't save the template due to the world it is coded.

If I'm not mistaken.. Just set up a test board. Then copy the forum display template. Then make a new template called FORUMDISPLAY on your live board and paste the contents. :D

Upload tools.php from the do_not_upload directory of your vB zip-file to your admincp directory. Point your browser to it and use it to re-import your master style.
