Database prefix

[Giray]

Likely silly question but what is the database prefix used by IPS, notably for forum topics. Is it core_ or ipb_

Thanks

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.

The database prefix can be seen in the aforementioned file as mentioned above and it is the same for all tables in the database. You can't have tables with different prefixes.

That is the case if the database prefix is left empty, but if it has a prefix, that prefix will preceed all database tables.

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.

In that case it means that your database doesn't have a defined prefix.

For forums it is called: forums_forums,  and for members:  core_members. Hope it helps.

You are welcome 😊

What are you going to revert, if I may ask?

I'm forking my platform and am trying to migrate some of my forums.
