    setting up a test bord

    hi, every 1!


    I'm trying to get my test board to run off the images from my regular board. How/where do I set the paths??!?!?

    Thank!

      Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> All Style Options -> Image Paths

      Set these to the specific URL for the relevant directories.

              Those you should just upload to the test board.

                  is there a good read me here on setting up a test board? do i have to also set up a test db? or just a new main directory to install to.. need a bit of a push in the right direction... tanks.

                      Yes...

                      same step by step when you set up a new install.

                      ONly exception is that the test directory should be unknown to the public and protected with a password or something.

                      I have .htaccess / password ...

                      edit: sorry, wasn't clear enough

                      You can set up a new install like at area51.something.com or testvb.something.com, with a new database & etc... That way the changes to the test database doesn't go to the live database til you're ready to put whatever live lol

                              heh... You can also do a local test site which means the site resides on your computer and is not accessible from the Internet.

                              *shrugs* just throwing out ideas lol

                              But if you do a "local" test site, that means you need apache, and so on...

                                  But be sure you are not testing with your live database!
