Mod Somehow erased my installed packages..

[Trevor Hale]

Hi Guys,

SMF 2.0 RC3 running PortaMX and various other mods.  (Attempted to install) Location on post Mod, and everything crapped the bed.

After a full restore of my server backups..  I still have a problem where none of my mods show as installed.  although I know they are.

Anyway, I looked in the database under (SMF_LOG_Packages) and only the old versions are listed then from the 2.0 RC2.. 

Needless to say there is no point in me changing those (Installed states) to a 1 from the 0.

How can I add these Mods (As Installed) Into the database without actually having SMF package manger try to install them again?

Looks like the db backup you restored is an old RC2 backup. Have you checked for that? In the settings table it should give the version.

[Trevor Hale]

I will check right now..  I did the upgrade to RC3 a week ago, and the DB Backup I had to restore today was from last night..  Give me a sec to check the table.

If you run repair_settings.php it should fix the problem...

[Trevor Hale]

Ok, I will give that a shot..  Thanks.

[Trevor Hale]

Made no difference at all.  But thanks anyway.

Have the edits done to your files by these mods been erased or are they still all there? In other words, is everything working or not? Whether or not they show as installed in the db wont affect this.

It will affect it, especially for uninstalling the mods... Anyway, pre-answered...

It only affects whether they show as installed and for uninstalling. If the file edits are still in place the mod will work whether it shows as installed or not. What I want to know is does everything work. If it does, then simply changing the db setting should be all that is needed.

Mods are all working fine.  (PortaMX etc...) But they are listed as not installed in the package manager, and there is no sign of them in the database either in the SMF_LOG_Packages..

So I guess what you are saying.. is I need to manually add them to the SMF-LOG_PACKAGES then?

You can add them to smf_log_packages if you want.

The only downside is doing it manually is a royal pain, especially if your mods do proper DB changes, since that requires building a serialize'd array in the db_changes columns.

[Trevor Hale]

So what you are telling me then, is I am euchred...  (ACK!) The next upgrade is going to be a problem then..

Ah well, thanks for trying guys.

[Arantor]

Actually, the next upgrade isn't going to be a problem. If anything, the opposite.

The next upgrade, either 2.0 RC4 or final, whatever the devs determine, it'll overwrite all the files and be as if no mods were installed anyway.

[Trevor Hale]

Oh ok, awesome..  That makes me feel better then. I tried to upgrade to RC3 without uninstalling all the mods, (Assuming it would overwrite what was there anyway) and it crapped the bed bad.  Regardless I won't worry about it, Thanks a bundle.
