Which file holds all the settings in vb3??
 

Im wondering which file holds all the settings that are input in the admin cp? Let's say I wanted to re-install my forum from scratch, but I didn't wanna have to re-do ALL my setting's etc. Which file or (files) would I need to save to be able to do that?

thanks in advance :squareeyed:

I believe they're stored in the Database not in files.

Well some are installed in config files I think too...

i think datastore holds mostly all settings for standard vb;)

hmmm well if they are all stored in the database that would be awsome. anyone know for sure though?

Config.php has all the info vb needs to access the database.

The database holds all the CSS, styles, forum data, etc, etc

Admincp/index.php has the links for any hacks you added that require an admincp link (articles, ushop, etc).

I'm sure they save them in database.

If they save it as in an existing file like config.php then you will have to CHMOD it 777. I've never seen this step in vb installation guide ;)

ok thanks guys. im gonna back up the database and re-install a fresh vb and see if it keeps all my setting by just restoring the database..

Attachments and CSS can also be stored in the filesystem depending on AdminCP settings. Storing these in the filesystem has the advantage of allowing the members client PCs to cache a large amount of code - significantly reducing bandwidth.
