Topic: How to modify language for all users?
Hi,
After updating, every users are in english.
When you have many users, it's anoying to change their profile one by one to French for my example.
Can it be done by a sql query? If yes which?

I have asked the same question .... 
Re: How to modify language for all users?
It can be done with an SQL query, yes.
UPDATE users SET language='French'
I will write a plugin for this (and for changing styles), but I just haven't had any time.

Yes, works perfectly with
UPDATE punBB_users SET language='French';Thanx Rickard (and thanx about the parser.php)
Re: How to modify language for all users?
Maybe the choice of the language could be made in the update script?
I mean for example, when a forum is in french, we could directly choose that all users would be in french. And if some users want another language, they could change it in their profile.

I ran into a similar situation, putting most of my users into a new group after the upgrade to 1.2. It was only about 12 users ('tis a small board) but I imagine bulk changes of group membership may also be desirable alongside bulk changes to language/style if you ever do such a plugin.

The problem is that not all languages from 1.1 are available for 1.2. I will consider it though.
