Hi.
I've decided to re-open two of my forums. The easiest way to do it (that I could think of) was to install fresh, then merge with the old databases. It worked fine (so I thought) besides a few bugs like having the forum's that are supposed to be FID=1 being something like FID=19 or something.. but I don't think that matters too much?
I seem to have an error though, to do with the lastpost. Clicking on the "Last Post" link on the main page gives and error saying that the thread doesn't exist. Although it does.. I'm not sure if it's a error with the URL's or due to merging, but it wont recognize thread-number-laspost.html
Live demo:
http://dotrb.net
http://betarelease.net
Am I better off just reinstalling and loading the backup, then fixing the cookies etc?
Thanks.
Oops, move this to Merge Support Please Mod.
Moved.
And to answer your question, yes it is easier to reload them as whatever version they were before and then upgrade them.
However, I just need to verify here. You merged from MyBB to MyBB and it didn't set the lastpost correctly? If so then I probably need to take a look at the MyBB module in the Merge System for a bug related to that, as it should be set.
Hi Dylan.
Thanks for the move.
Yes, I merged from MyBB to MyBB. Although I'm not sure if it's a bug for sure, as I merged it with MyBB 1.4 to a 1.6 database, so it might conflict with that.
I installed a fresh MyBB 1.6 board.
Then merged an old 1.4.12? or .13 database to it.
It all worked fine, except for the last post issue.

If lastpost is your only issue, I wouldn't worry to much about it right this second. I can write you a small script to reset the lastpost so you don't have to do this over again.
However, even going from a 1.4.x db into a 1.6 I don't think it should have messed that up. I'll have to see what changes were made between the 1.4 merge system and the 1.6 merge system in regards to that module. I didn't think there were any.
Yes, besides the little things such as FID's being messed up (due to other FID's, as well as UID's) the last post thing was the only issue that I've found so far. I'll report back if I see any more.
trilo, may I have a URL to the board with the broken lastpost please?
Yeah, that's definitely a bug. I'll look into it.
But before I do, have you run the Recount & Rebuild tools in your ACP? If not please do and let me know if that fixes the problem.
I'm pretty sure I love you.
That thought never came to mind, but it sure worked!
It turns out the recounting and rebuilding worked, I don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place.
Although that fixed the error, is it still considered a bug?

You're welcome

Yes, and you can
report it here. Give the examples you posted above (even though the forum links are no longer valid) and make sure you point out that using the Rec&Reb tools will fix it.
