Hi,

I recently installed a new site, and opted for a different theme. My original theme was smartDark, but I have since changed to fiblack. Before I reinstalled my site I did back up my DB.

All I want to keep is the forums, with forum posts and users that registered accounts on my old site. The site was ported, as is the new 1, but I'm guessing I cant just upload the old DB to a new theme :?

How do I go about re-uploading the DB to the new site and just keep the User accounts, Forums and Forum posts within along with all permissions?

If some1 can help me out on this I would be very greatful. Ive looked over the DB SQL but tbh it doesnt meen anything to me ops:

Ok so are you wanting to make a NEW Nukesite with phpBB ported Forums and then reload your Data from your backup DB , just users, Forums and Forum posts?
No other data?

Sorry for the long wait for a reply.

Yes thats all I need I think, unless you can think of any other important data that I'll need to make them work.

P.S. ops: Where do I upload the file to in PHPmyAdmin?

My forum tables are located in the database "phpnuke" with my nuke tables. I would assume yours will to if your db is named the same.

What Data from the sql backup file do I need to use and where abouts in PHPMyAdmin do I place it?

You would need all these tables from your saved DB file. Basically you can cut and paste thee tables and their info into a new text file and then save it as whatever.sql

nuke_bbauth_access
to
nuke_bbwords
total of 27 bb tables

also,
nuke_users
nuke_users_suspend
nuke_users_pending

The main ones though are all the _bb tables and the users table. If you are only planning to restore your Forums and posts and users info.

Once you get your Nuke/phpBB back up and running, then upload the whatever.sql fiel you made in phpmyadmin.
BACKUP your DB BEFORE uploading your whatever.sql file. Just in case it doesn't work.
