Unslaved

Many thanks, I will let you know if it all works.

So just a quick update, found a post that explains what to do, so instead of a fresh install i created a copy of the production site and edited the conf_global.php to point to the correct URL database, user, password etc. 

Question is, where do i put the TESTINSTALL for the license, do I need that for a copy or would it run of the same primary license?

I have a live version up and running (its due a few maintenance updates) but I want to create a test install as a back up. I have the backup database on a different sub domain but when you go through the install it recognizes that there is already an Invision Community Installed in that database and asks either to choose a different database or use a table prefix.

So the question is how to I get the test install working with the backup database.

Any help would be great.

Correct this was the auto upgrade, have not tried the manual upgrade yet, but i can test this on a dev install, i take it the board license will allow a test site?

Not sure if would be related to the issue or not, but the upgrade did not run as it couldnt get past the FTP verification.

I know that you mentioned about running the upgrade first (which i cant do at the moment), but what about just switching to the default theme, not sure if that would at least fix the post issue.

OK will give it a shot, many thanks for your help.

It wouldn't be via phpmyadmin, but what about the migration tool that you have? hoping that would just

capture all the post and member data only.

Hosting is looking into it, also checking the older database.

Silly question, but what if i have a fresh board install, then did a migration from one board to another?

I think that is the issue, the upgrade wont run because of this missing table, but no idea why it just disappeared in the first place as i haven't had any issues before.

OK, i do have a back up that i can check.

What about this error is this related or can it be fixed by running the tool

[[Template forums/front/forums/forumDisplay is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

Looks like hosting is not sure why the table just is not there anymore, is there not a way to insert that missing table into the database?
 

Just to note that i did change the php to version 7.4

Hoping some advice on these errors that i am currently getting.

when i run the update i get this error below

IPS\Db\Exception: Table '(database_name.core_follow_count_cache' doesn't exist in engine (1932)

Also when you try to view a post i also get this error as well.

[[Template forums/front/forums/forumDisplay is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

Just seeing what is the best way forward, try to run the update again or run the support tool next?

Many thanks!

Hi Jim,

The name is not available to edit at the moment but i do have users who don't want their real name shown on the forum. 

I have a set up where the members profile name is created after the members CC card is charged, so basically it takes the name from checkout and that name is then created as a record in a CRM.

The Wordpress site and Power Board also use an SSO for sign on, so the user can sign on to the membership site and then go ono the forum without having to sign back in again.

I know there is a way where users can change their display name, but that seems to be an issue as the name is tied to a CRM record and it will then make the users go back to the membership site and it causes a lot of confusion to members.

Is there a way where the user can add a nickname instead and use that? I don’t see any options or add ons so I was wondering if it was possible to do.

Tried installing it on a fresh IP board version v 4.5.4 but i also got the same error which was 

Sorry, there is a problem

Any idea of a fix?
