1.4.2 Upgrade Double Settings Fix

[labrocca]

Attached is a simple method to fix double settings.

Instructions:

Upload the file to your root mybb folder.
/root/double_delete.php

Then access the file via your browser.
http://www.domain.com/mybb/double_delete.php


This will copy only your unique settings to a new table, delete your old settings, then rename the copy back to original. It's dirty fix but it works and it's fast method.

Also I have file setup so only Super Admin can run it. If you get a permission error you must edit your /inc/config.php and enter your uid for the Super Admin variable.

That's it.

No and Yay! I just deleted my tables, how could you release this so late? Well, thanks anyways!

Sorry I decided to go out last night to the bar and pretend I have a life outside of mybb.

it worked but it does not fix the Admin CP problem

plus, some of settings are still doubled..

[labrocca]

Run this again then. What settings are doubled?

This runs by "name" column.

EDIT: I went in and properly run the double delete..seemed to work fine for me. As for your admincp problem...I logged in just fine.

thanks for this tip labrocca

when I had this problem in mybb 1.40 > 1.41 upgrade I´ve cleared "mybb_settings" and "" then did run a sql query with my 1.40 data of this table... otherwise my plugins settings were lost

1.41 > 1.42 upgrade gone smooth
