Otsikko: I need to move and duplicate my board.
Kirjoitti: Mr Blah Man - joulukuu 19, 2007, 04:25:30 AP
Okay. I have a Board Located at

/ShadowLegion/Forums/

but I'd like to move it to

/ShadowLegion/RS/Forums/

I know how to move it but what do I have to edit when doing this?




Next, I'd like to know how to duplicate it. I have a Clan which runs on 3 different games now and I'd like an EXACT REPLICA of my board for each one.

I want them located at:

/ShadowLegion/RS/Forums/
/ShadowLegion/UO/Forums/
/ShadowLegion/GW/Forums/

I want them to have their own databases though, but they have to be duplicates of my original one.

1. How do I do this.
2. What will I have to edit.




Thanks,
Mr Blah Man.

For the first part, move the files then run repair_settings.php to correct the paths. What is repair_settings.php? (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=18096.0).  For custom themes you'll need to manually edit the paths in admin > themes and settings i believe

For the second part, you take a database dump and then restore it, THEN run repair_settings.php on each duplicate to give them their own paths, the themes thing applies as above

a little information can be found here:
