Hi all,
I have a couple questions. I have been running vb3 for about 8 months, and it seems that everytime I upgrade or need to change the look/theme of the site, or do any sort of major overhaul to the board, I install a clean version of the script, then have to throw the old database (With any template quirks from a previous theme/skin), then go back and try and remove all of the previous style/template variables that were added. It seems that over time, this is quite a task in itself.
What I'm wondering is this, the only thing about the board DB that I really care about are; threads, posts, and all user data. What I'm wanting to be able to do is this, I want to be able to "backup" only these portions of the database instead of it's entirety, then erase the pre-existing board, install a BRAND NEW script, then add the backedup posts/userdata back into the database.
The issue is that, I am not certain of all of the tables / database info that I will need to backup so that I don't lose any of it in the process.
It would be a nice feature to have where I can just run a script that strips everything back to default values, except for threads, posts and userdata.
If someone could provide me with a table list of ALL board "content and user info", I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
