Look at this hack - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=37655 - it allows you to run a backup of your Db from the admin panel and also do a restore if anything goes wrong.
It is an excellent hack which has saved me a hell of a lot of work on several occasions.
But to ask again has anyone tried this hack?


edit:

Ok, I have done all the code changes - as laid out in the install.txt and I came across 2 issues:

1.

FIND:

    if (!isset($mailcache["$touser[templatesetid]"]['email_notify']))

REPLACE WITH:

    if (!isset($mailcache["$touser[templatesetid]"]['emailsubject_notify']))

I couldn't find the

 if (!isset($mailcache["$touser[templatesetid]"]['email_notify']))

and
2.

FIND:

  makeforumjump();

REPLACE THE BELOW IT with THIS:


  
  // set default value for $daysprune 
  if (empty($daysprune) OR $daysprune < 1) {
  	$daysprune = 30;
  }

replace what???

apart from that everything is working ok - I am not sure (because of the two issues above) if it is perfect but if you can let me know about these two issues then thnx it has saved me a hell of a lot of work.

Ok, i have played with it a bit and there is some errors still, there is one } which have to be deleted from both the index.php and forumdisplay.php - but can't remember where exactly sorry - think it was about line 890 - 900
