Nuker Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi, I got a 2.1.3 about 2 years ago. By that time i installed that on a copy of my then current database as a test in a 1.2. It worked alright. However, 2 years later i installed the same script in my current database that is of course bigger than 2 years ago but except for that anything else is the same. The upgrader didnt run properly so i had to upgrade mostly manually. I managed to fix most of the issues but some of them persist. I heard that IPS doesnt upgrade forums with mods, and mine is heavily modded so i decided to try myself departing from the fact i could do it 2 years ago. I believe i can do it, but i just need some hints. One of the problems is that so many users, specially those registered in the las 2 years cant login even if i give them a new password from the admin panel. At this stage, i figured out how to resolve part of the problem with the logins. I copied all the values from the legacy_password field in ibf_members and inserted them into converge_pass_hash field from ibf_members_converge. However, i dont have where to copy the values for the salt field from so i have to go to the admin panel, set a new password and generate a salt field for an individual member, then the user can login. But the problem is that i cannot this member by member, they are too many! how can i generate the salt values for all the members that are missing it at once? Also, i just discovered that there is still some users who cant login at all. Please help. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuker Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I saw that, but i was unsure because i also saw some topics in this forum asking for support, so i thought it was fine. Also, how can i ask for support directly to IPS if my forum has been modified/customized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin A. Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 IPS will update your board, but you will loose all your mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggi Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 you need to also be a customer which doesn't look like it from your member group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Do you need technical support? You can obtain support via the client area, or you can try to obtain peer-to-peer support at IPS Resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
