SQL for setting "Enable BBCode" to true?

Post by alecrust »

Hi,

I was wondering what SQL command I'd need to run to set all user's accounts to "Enable BBCode" by default?

Obviously there is the settings in my ACP which is set correctly, and this works for all new users. Many old members have this disabled though, and I'd like to enable it for all users in one go.

Many thanks,
Alec

The labels are in session.php:

Code: Select all

	var $keyoptions = array('viewimg' => 0, 'viewflash' => 1, 'viewsmilies' => 2, 'viewsigs' => 3, 'viewavatars' => 4, 'viewcensors' => 5, 'attachsig' => 6, 'bbcode' => 8, 'smilies' => 9, 'popuppm' => 10, 'sig_bbcode' => 15, 'sig_smilies' => 16, 'sig_links' => 17);
2^8 = 256

would the number for smilies therefore be
2^9=512

Can I just confirm that user's signature box "Enable BBCode" option shares this setting?

I think that setting would be:
Brf wrote:'sig_bbcode' => 15

That would be 32768.

So would the SQL query look like this? Don't want to get it wrong!

Code: Select all

update phpbb_users set user_options = user_options | 15;

Many thanks for your help. I just have one more question!

Upon running that query, an abnormal amount of rows were affected (11890 to be precise). I'm starting to wonder if the default setting for "Allow BBCode in Signatures" is set to "false". I can't seem to find it in the ACP though, is this a setting that is in there?

By default it is false. You would set it to true if you added bbcode to your signature.

Is there an option in the ACP to change this? It's causing confusion with members attempting to write BBCode in their signature box and it not working because they haven't enabled it.

The setting would be on each user's record, so it would be found on their signature page in either their UCP, or in Manage Users. By default it is supposed to be true, as enable BBcode setting is. Since yours were both false, I assume you used a bad convertor from some other software.
