Topic: Newbie dbase merge question

I have a sightly modded install of 1.2.15, with exisiting users , forums and posts.
I have installed Frontpage Punbb on a separate database, and in a separate directory on my host.

I have been messing around in phpmyadmin, trying to import various tables.

What are the minimum tables I can import to the new installation to preserve the forum structure, post and users ? Darn phpmyadmin, it is tough to figure out - my limited knowledge is not helping - as far as I can tell, I have to drop tables before I import them, there is no "merge" function.

Re: Newbie dbase merge question

No, there isn't a way to easily merge installs (although I'm playing around with this idea for some things in 1.3). It's a somewhat involved process to do manually, so I wouldn't suggest it. Essentially, you have to rejuggle a lot of the ids (ie: 2 users can't have the same ID, 2 posts can't have the same ID, etc)
