in bulk - forum settings March 02, 2016, 01:50:23 pm Looking for the easiest way to set up several forums, all on different domains.So that I can quickly setup several forums without having to go through ALL those check boxes....only go back to each one and do site/domain specific things.Which files do I need to save from 1 forum and copy to all the othersin order to have a "basic" operating configuration for all the forums?
Re: in bulk - forum settings Reply #1 – March 02, 2016, 02:57:40 pm The server configurations (url, paths, database username and password) are saved in Settings.php.Any other setting is in the {prefix}_settings table in the database.Then, there are a few site-specific settings in {prefix}_themes.To do multiple installs on similar configs what I'd do is: do an install, export the database in sql format keep a copy of the filesThen, any time I have to reinstall: open the export with a notepad and search and replace both the paths and the the urls (usually up to the forum directory), import the copied&replaced file in the new site, fix the settings in Settings.php* upload the filesDone.
Re: in bulk - forum settings Reply #2 – March 02, 2016, 03:41:10 pm No, as I wrote Settings.php contains all the server config: path, url, database server, name, username and password.These are the one that make the forum work, anything else can be changed later on from the admin panel.
