How to turn on quick reply for all forums

Postby Handyman » 12 Dec 2009, 19:50

After updating to phpBB 3.0.6, the only way to turn on the quick reply is to go into each forum and manually turn it on in the ACP.
So I put together a quick query that will turn on the quick reply for all forums.

  1. Turn on the Quick Reply in ACP -> Board Features
  2. Backup your forum (at the very least, the forums table, so if this screws something up, you can just restore that table.
  3. Run this query in your database:
    Code: Select all
    UPDATE phpbb_forums
    SET forum_flags = forum_flags + 64
    WHERE forum_type = 1
       AND forum_flags < 64

Then just verify that quick reply is on in your forums… if there was a problem, you can always restore to the database backup you (hopefully) took.
You should be good to go :good:
