[request] Hacking Ipb

Hey, this is mostly a request to Stevie and Tim, but I'd be interested to know how you got IPB to allow multiple subforums.

Requesting, huh?

In the mySQL toolbox, I ran the following query:

UPDATE ipb_forums
SET parent_id = [Parent]
WHERE id = [Child]

Only problem is that you have to make sure that the entire child structure is complete and working before you move it to the new parent, if you take my meaning...

For example, we have Applications>3rd Party Applications>Stardock>WindowBlinds>WindowBlinds Requests

To make this, I first had to make WindowBlinds contain WindowBlinds Requests:

Applications>WindowBlinds>WindowBlinds Requests

I then ran the above query with WindowBlinds' ID as the [Child], and Stardock's ID as the [Parent].

It's worth noting, however, that this is very likely unsupported, and may well break when IPB 2 is applied...

If what I've just said makes no sense, tell me, and I'll explain in more detail, and with better examples.

So just to make sure I've understood you right here, you first make a shallower structure then manually change the parent afterwards to deepen it?

#181563

Exactly.

You've got to start with the bottom levels first, and put these into the next levels, and so forth...

Excellent! Thanks for that
