Issue saving prefrences

New Member Joined: Jun 21, 2008 Posts: 17

I went into the admin prefrences and hit save, then lost all of my prefrences. They all zeroed out. Now I can no longer make adjustments via the gui, I have to go in manually to myphp to make changes.
Any ideas how to get this back up?

Haven't used 7.9 because of the security changes, but did anything change? It sounds like there is a discrepancy between the table layout in the database and what the software is expecting.

Is your 7.9 patched?

I have never seen this happen before, so I have the same question as kguske: what have you changed?

BTW, is this a brand new installation? If so, is this your first attempt at accessing the Preferences? And, this is Preferences rather than Forums --> Configuration right?

The installation is fairly new but I have changed the preferences before, and yes the is preferences not Forum --> Configuration.
What have I changed? a lot, so its had for me to determine exactly what it is.
My best guess is it has something to do with the WS Subscription Module (v3).
It had a mod that changed some of the your account info that I still cant get to work and maybe the two are tied, but thats just a wild guess...
Thanks for the help, let me know if you guys think of anything

Make sure you config.php file is correct. I had that happen on a test site when I migrated the site from my computer to my server. I can't remember what was wrong with the config file though.

As far as I know it correct. I tryed several different versions and its the same. Its only the preference I cant save.

The best I can remember, either I had an error in my config file or I had to delete cookies. I wish I could remember but it was a while ago when I had that problem. I may have had to reload my database to fix it. Do you have a database back up you can reload?

I think i have a backup on the server. Let me look.

Thanks for the help.

Ok, just did a backup and the problem still persits.

There were 2 files and one whole directory I changed when I was editing for the wysiwyg mod.

Mainfile.php
javascript.php
and loaded a new tinymce editor from there website.

Honestly, the best I can remember is it was the prefix in my config file was wrong. I had "nuke" as my prefix in my db but I had something else in my config. I changed it to "nuke" in my config and it worked. Your problem may be different. Sorry I couldn't help.

No problem Nuken. Thanks for trying. I have the preferences saved in a sql file that I just uploaded. Just as long as I dont edit it through nuke, its fine.
