Any chance this can be fixed? It's still a problem in PT 2.0.0

Having to manually edit the database is not something we're used to with vBulletin

Looks like you've deleted one of the files vBlogetin requires (BLOG_PLUGINS/init_startup.php) without disabling the plugin first.

Best thing would be to edit your vbulletin/includes/config.php...

OK, but if I'm not bothered about any attachments (none of the threads had them), editlog or subscriptions and just want to get the thread/post content back, then it would just be those two tables? There's...

If I wanted to restore certain threads/posts from a db backup, is it sufficient to execute the queries on the thread and post tables only, and then do an update counters and rebuild the search index?...

On the issue list, it lists all the issues together with their status, priority, replies etc.

Is there a way to show the addressed version in this list?

I tried adding $issue[addressedversion]...

Is there a way to move a Version to a different Version Group

eg if we have "Future Versions" as a group, how can I move a version from that into the "Current Versions"...

vBlogetin is quite good. We've got it on our site at http://www.bookandreader.com/blogs and our members seem to find it easy enough to use.

I like how I can customise where it's installed...

I've got Ubuntu on my desktop (triple boot!), and use CentOs on web and development servers.

Like a lot of customers here, I've got mixed feelings about this.

It's interesting to see that Jelsoft decided to sell out to a larger company, rather than float on the stock market, raise...

PHP and MySQL Web Development, 3rd Edition By Luke Welling and Laura Thomson is a good book.

[Darren Lewis]

Looks like a nice setup in the offices. Glad to see Jelsoft doing well.

What are the specs on the dev server(s)?

Are Jelsoft being sponsored by Dell?

[Darren Lewis]

It costs a lot of money to keep a big site online. Usually they need one (or more) high-spec dedicated servers. Most of these sites are funded by advertising so people who try to get away with free ads...

Wrox: Professional PHP5 - very good, especially for OOP (you'll understand a lot of the new datamanager object classes in vb3.5/6).
Apress: PHP Objects, Patterns and Practice - an excellent book...
