v3arcade table prefix?

[JoeWho]

Hi,

I have run into a problem with installing v3_arcade_for_vbulletin_2_0_3_(vb4)_20297, the install uses the table prefix of the forum is there any way to change that?

this is what I get: vb4_v3arcade_categories
this is what I would like: v3arcade_categories

I updated/upgrade the forum from 3.7.4 to 4.1.10, I added table prefixes to the forum table which didn't exist before so I can find tables that are not part of the forum installed tables, I could not upgrade the arcade because of this table prefix problem, solution would be add the forum table prefix to v3arcade tables, this kind of defeats the purpose of adding a prefix to the forum tables.

I hope somebody has a suggestion, I think the only solution is to rewrite the install file (product-v3arcade.xml), it would be nice if there was a config file to set things like this.

VBA does not use the forum table prefixes, why should the arcade?

Thanks

There's not going to be an easy way to not use table prefixes. The best thing I can suggest would be to edit your v3Arcade tables via phpMyAdmin or something similar and manually add the table prefix there.

I'm not sure why you think this, but that is not the case. All vBa products use the vB table prefix if one is set.

Hi Brian,

My bad ... I was mistaken, vBa also has forum prefix on. That raises another question, why do you use the forum prefix when you're products have their own prefix? (v3arcade_ and vba_)

Renaming the table prefix is easy, I just don't see the need for the forum prefix. I can still easily identify your product because it does have its own prefix, so for now I guess that is the solution ... rename with the forum prefix.

Thank you for your help.

Because all of those products are subsets of vBulletin, not stand-alone products. Any vBulletin add-on that creates tables within the vBulletin environment will, if they were coded properly, be created with the vB table prefix.
