phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

i tested this twice, and it produces the same result. steps included below. screenshot attached.

setup a fresh install of phpbb3 with automod
set the write method configuration in automod to your desired settings (for me, it was just ticking the "direct" radio button for write method)
do a SQL backup from phpmyadmin
delete your board (files and db)
restore your board (files and db)
check automod tab in ACP, your desired settings for write method should be deselected

im not sure if this is a phpmyadmin bug or a automod bug, but i find it kind of funny. also, the default configuration is deselected anyway (almost denied a MOD until i saw the error was in editor.php). is there anyway to set a default as "direct" instead of no selection?

There is a bug here (a selection should be made by the installer)

However, I believe the behaviour you mention is a function of the cache. If you change a value directly in phpMyAdmin, phpBB doesn't know it until the cache is refreshed.

i wasnt changing it in phpmyadmin. the only thing i used phpmyadmin for was a SQL database backup (and restore). all configurations were changed via the user interface.

that said, i had a look, and my cache folder was filled. :shock:

i cleared it out, did another SQL backup, and re-tested. this seems to fix my problem ("direct" stayed selected). i do agree, however, that the installer should have a default selection.

thanks for your insight!
