Cloning a Forum

DaniM53

HI, is there any documentation I can check out in regards to cloning a forum? I need to basically copy an exisiting one and upload it into a new one as we change them with our program starts. Thank you!

what aspect are you cloning? the site template? or the data?

I'll assume site template...

just copy and paste the whole directory structure. then you'll need a sql script to create a clean database with the proper table names (just do a structure dump on your existing db)

then in the copied directory structure, modify the config.php file to point to the new/clean database.

there are lots of variations on this theme that you can play with. but what i described works.
