Giray Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Likely silly question but what is the database prefix used by IPS, notably for forum topics. Is it core_ or ipb_ Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawPi Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 You can find it in the conf_global.php file under sql_tbl_prefix option. Ouch, you meant prefixes for specific apps. core_ is for everything under the System part. forums_ - forums app, gallery_ gallery app. It's an app key in most cases.

You can't have tables with different prefixes. 2 hours ago, DawPi said: Ouch, you meant prefixes for specific apps. core_ is for everything under the System part. forums_ - forums app, gallery_ gallery app. It's an app key in most cases. That is the case if the database prefix is left empty, but if it has a prefix, that prefix will preceed all database tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giray Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 Thanks. So, in conf_global.php it's blank single quotes, so nothing. What I actually need are forums and users. Forums: forums_ ?? Users: ?? Anyone know? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case it means that your database doesn't have a defined prefix. 1 minute ago, Giray said: What I actually need are forums and users. For forums it is called: forums_forums, and for members: core_members. Hope it helps. Giray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
