Does anyone know of a simple way to change the date of all stories? Maybe an SQL command? I don't know enough about SQL to be comfortable messing with it without some guidance from the geeklog gods Smile

Thanks

ArrowIf you have phpmyadmin, select your database and select the SQL tab

in the query field us this command(changing the date and time to what you want)
Text Formatted Code

UPDATE `stories` set `date` = "2003-12-02 19:13:00"


 


ArrowIf you have shell access run these to commands(you'll need your geeklog database password)
mysql -p -u yoursusername geeklogdatabasename
UPDATE `stories` set `date` = "2003-12-02 19:13:00";

see example session below

Text Formatted Code

$ mysql -p -u yoursusername geeklogdatabasename
Enter password:

You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or g.

Type 'help;' or 'h' for help. Type 'c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> UPDATE `stories` set `date` = "2003-12-02 19:13:00";

 


enjoy!

Glad to hear. Very Happy

It does make me curious though, what purpose or effect does this achieve?

Always interested in new creative ways of using geeklog...
