Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 9, 20168 yr I guess this is kind of a question and suggestion at the same time so I'm putting it here I'm wanting to to re-order member IDs so that there are no gaps (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... etc instead of 1, 4, 12, 58... etc) The gaps are caused by deleted accounts, unfinished registrations and things of that nature I could do it by just writing a script that changes the correct attribute in every SQL table but I was wondering if such a tool existed already? And it'd be a nice thing to have if it doesn't Thanks edit: Sorry about putting this in the wrong forum by the way, thanks for redirecting it
March 12, 20168 yr There was a tool for IP 3.x, but to my knowledge there is not one for 4.x yet. The 3.x tool also only took into account IPS Applications. Third party applications still had to be changed manually or added to the script.
March 12, 20168 yr Overall sounds messy and pointless. (Besides to calm OCD.) I really don't think it's necessary to have everyone always in chronological order. Because a lot of things rely on that set number. A lot of databases do that by having a set number for things.
