When I enable this extension on phpBB 3.1 a2 updated from phpBB 3.0.10 on which was installed MOD version of this extension and go to Auto Backup settings (in ACP) I get this error:

Code: Select all

General Error
Cannot find module ./../includes/acp/acp_auto_backup.php

BACKTRACE

If I disable this extension, delete it's data and enable it again, it works.

The ACP module path for extension is completly differnt in phpBB3.1., so that you got the error.
You can create a ticket for that.

[leschek]

Where should I create it? On area51?

[Pico88]

Yes, on area51 tracker.

[leschek]

OK. Created.

Actually, Pico88, you should use the migration file to update the ACP modules from older versions of the MOD.

You can see an example of how I do this here: https://github.com/VSEphpbb/precise-sim ... 0_data.php

Basically, remove the old modules (if they exist) and hen insert the new modules using the new module naming system in phpBB 3.1

Can I make two suggestions about this extension.

1. Can the frequency be changed from days to hours - on a "fast moving" board a daily backup is of little use and anyone who only wants the backup daily would enter 24.

2. Can you move the config update and log entries to the end of the routine, not at the start. If the backup fails for whatever reason then it will give a false impression that the backup has been completed when in fact it may have not even run. Ideally it would be better to have a started log entry and a completed log entry - that way if there is a problem it will be obvious.

Not compatible with phpBB 3.1 RC2 :/

I like the sound of a auto backup,as i'am very lazy at backing mine up
