mylinks - salvage rescue

I have a site which was built to list cool software. I used the mylinks module to create the software database with ranks, comments etc.

My host (SpiderSaid.com) just vanished into thin air one day last july and I lost my whole site. I did have some backups but the site never restored properly.

I've now take the step of a fresh 2.0.16 install and then reinstalled the modules into this fresh install - but using the previousl sql database which has all the data. Some of this worked the forums for example are all back now.

I don't know enought about sql but i know the 3000+ software database is there but can't quite get it working in the new in stall. I suspect I need to move/rename/edit some of the tables to make it work but don't know which.

I suspect the mylinks data is somewhere:-

xoops_groups

xoops_groups_users_link 3,705
xoops_group_permission 365

or here

and should be here

xoops_mylinks_text Browse Structure Search Insert Empty Drop 0 MyISAM latin1_swedish_ci 1.0 KiB -
xoops_mylinks_votedata




can anyone help me fix this.

The other route is to examine the database backups and see if we can restore straight from them - maybe there's something simple wrong. When I try restoring from them I get a site but with no blocks - no login block and no users in db so can't access the site.

thanks in advance.

You can view the mylinks db dump by opening modules/mylinks/mysql/mysql.sql with notepad.

You can use myphpadmin (usually available in your host's control panel)to view the tables in your MySQL db.

Your db should contain these table names
mylinks_broken
mylinks_cat
mylinks_links
mylinks_mod
mylinks_text
mylinks_votedata

Hope this helps.

thanks for the tip (and i wish i was in florida now ;)

the sql in the mylinks module wasn't that helpful but I did find a backup file I made just for the mylinks module which looks like this.

SQL access visa MYsql Databases.

Do I simply import this backup? Anywhere? Anything I should know before it try it?

I'm still struggling with this problem. I have a database backup of the tables i need for this module but can't seem to restore them correctly.

this should restore ok right (there's much more data this is just a sample for this forum.

I'm running phpmyadmin and running this backup as an sql script.

any ideaS?
