Hey Just wondering 2 things.
1.) Hey I just opened a new forum and I've recently installed several mods. I was wondering if its possible to import my old database's users and posts without corrupting the current users/posts and mods that are install. Thanks.
2.) Is it possible to make a flash animation portal using phpbb by installing the attachment mod and then using phpbb fetchall to display it to look more like a portal? |

Oh and also I downloaded your easymod version of the blog mod and I get this:
Critical Error
Could not perform improperly formed COPY command.
./*.* to ./*.*
MOD script line #361 :: FAQ :: Report
lol I tried removing the ./*.* but I think it might overwrite my directories. |

It might be a problem trying to combine the data from two tables since the Unique IDs will probably collide. You can't have duplicate user_ids, so if you have a member with user_id in one database, you wouldn't be able to add a record for a member from another database that also has the same user_id. That could cause a huge mess. And since the same applies to the Posts and Topics tables, even if you were able to combine them, you might have a problem synchronizing the posts with the members if you had to change user_ids of some members so that you could combine the tables. It can be done, but it would be a real challenge if you have a lot of records in both databases and tables...

I really don't know what you mean or why you would need the Attachment MOD for part of this scenario. Can you elaborate a bit???

Try using the EM Friendly copy of the MOD script that I created for everyone:
the_blog_mod_024b_em_freindly.zip

I dont really know how to elaborate on the flash animation portal thing I was going at....you do know what I mean right?
And you would need the attachment mod other wise people can't submit animations....
As for the database mashing, the current database only has 12 users and 400 something posts, as I just made it yesterday, the previous database has 7000 something posts and around 150 users give or take. |

It would be easier to adjust the user_ids of the smaller database, then merge them than the other way around, that's for sure...
I really don't know anything about the fetchall option. If it allows you to fetch attachments and display them, then it shouldn't be that difficult to code it to work on your portal page...

LOL I think you are confusing the data stored in your database with the files stored on your FTP Server. Your MODs will not be affected by the data stored in your database. The data in your database has no bearing on the code installed on your FTP Server...
Unless you change the structure of your tables and lose some of the tables, fields, and/or config records required by installed MODs, adding members and posts will have absolutely no affect on the MODs currently installed in your phpBB code. They have very little relation with one another...

*sigh* I'm pretty sure you know what I mean. A lot of the mods I've installed have altered the users table im pretty sure. |

The only problem you will have is if the destination table structure doesn't match what is needed in your forum. Copying the data to the tables won't change the structure unless you include a DROP TABLE query in the process. Then if the tables are recreated or required fields are missing from the table structure, that will pose a problem. But if you only copy the data from one table to the other without changing any table structures, you should be fine...
