Script to revert database to previous copy

I'm thinking about making a module testing site, where people can come and test modules, on the user side and the admin side and once per hour the site would reset.

What I am looking for is a script that I can use with a cron job to drop the tables of the database and import the original .sql file that would be stored on the server.

Does anybody know of such a script, or be willing to put one together?

See these two articles:

Regular Database Backup with Cron(updated)

And

MySQL Database Restore


The latter restore script can be run from cron. If you try it let me know how it works.

HTH.

Now that is a very good idea indeed.... You would have to disable the job during installation of any new modules of course... but otherwise, this would be an excellent idea.

It looks like a great site for testing modules. Is the script for restore working correctly?

While i have heard many people talking about setting up such a site for XOOPS no one has as of yet ... so good someone finally does

However some modules will need updating i think.
(e.g. WF-Links and WF-Channel)
Sorry, this signature is experiencing technical difficulties. We will return you to the sheduled signature as soon as possible ...

Hi bluenova

What a nice idea indeed and great collection

That?s a must for people interested in trying modules.
Go ahead with that nice project.

We?re trying to do almost the same thing here:

I liked your idea very much.

thanks


Btw> some modules are giving us blankpages: wakka, galeria, lykos_syndication.....but i know that you?re still tweaking the whole site

Yep, it works perfectly, every hour the databse resets to the original

Excellent idea - may be worth adding some dummy data to the forum and a couple of the other modules.

Great work however!
