changing install location & deleting main categories
I am using phpMyFAQ 2.0.1.
If I installed & running to phpmyfaq folder and I want to rename that folder to just faq. What changes do I have to make to not break anything?
(i.e. Can I just rename the folder and everything works? Rename folder and change a few settings? Not recommended?)
Also, I have a main category and 2 sub-categories. I wish to delete the main category and make the 2 sub-categories as main categories. I cannot find a way to do this.
Thanks

Hi,

renaming should be enough, maybe you have to edit the path for the linkverifier in the configuration.hejeva2 wrote:If I installed & running to phpmyfaq folder and I want to rename that folder to just faq. What changes do I have to make to not break anything?

You can move them to the highest level.hejeva2 wrote:Also, I have a main category and 2 sub-categories. I wish to delete the main category and make the 2 sub-categories as main categories. I cannot find a way to do this.

That is the part I am missing. I am in the admin, under the categories tab. When I click on the arrows (to move) it only allows me to move categories within the same level. (Basically reorder them.) It states "The exchange of 2 categories is only possible at the same level." I can't find where I could move the category up or down a level.
Hi,
create a new, empty main category and change it with the second level one.

I just can't seem to make this work. I created a blank category. I can move the topics up under the blank category. But now I have a blank category with sub-categories. Sigh, it seems I stuck with categories as they are until better category organization is added or I manually go through and create new Categories and move every entry to the new category.
I have discovered a really bad behaviour with this software:
If you delete a main level category that still has a subcategory with items in it, it trashes your whole database and you better have a backup on hand to restore things to.

Hi,
could you file a bug on http://bugs.phpmyfaq.de for this specific bad issue?
The normal behaviour should be: no deletion, just orphan sub-categories. We need to look at it.
Thanks in advance for your efforts.

Making Sub-Categories into Main Categories
Hi,
I have a structure of the form:
Main Category:
Sub-Category1
nested sub-categories
Sub-Category2
nested sub-categories
I want to make both Sub-Categories into Main Categories.
I have tried to do this by creating a new Main Category and moving one set of nested sub-categories into the new Main Category. However this does not work.
Can you advise please.
regards,
Arthur Loughran

HI,
right, this way it isn't possible. You have to cut n paste them.
