I think I hosed my Topics... Bugs
By madefaction , Section Help! []
Posted on Mon Apr 14, 2003 at 12:00:00 PM PST
I just got my site up (www.madefaction.com) and I'm having trouble figuring out topics and sections. I think the problem is that I have topics with the same name.

Here is an image of the topics in the edit topics page. I can't delete a topic, all I get is an error.

I think I hosed my Topics... | 2 comments (2 topical, 0 hidden)
topic id vs. topic name (none / 0) (#1)

Topics can have the same display name (or "alttext"). That's just informational. You shouldn't be able to create topics with the same tid, since it's the primary key in the database table.

If you just want to start over, and don't care if you wipe your existing topics, try going into the database and doing:

DELETE FROM topics WHERE tid != 'all';
