UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Version 7 Support What is ubbt_IMPORT_MAP

and why does it take up so much if my db space?

thanks

I am not really clear on what all it does but it appears one purpose is, to be for supporting redirects when you say upgrade from classic to threads.

It'll hold a record of every id from your old imported UBB.Threads/UBB.Classic v6 install to v7 for the redirector scripts; if you don't use these then you can purge the table (but I'd recommend backing it up first, just in case you find that you are using them and you start getting a bunch of 404 errors from old spidered links)

Found a topic on the issue
https://www.ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/211540/

so looks like I can zap them.... thanks

what about ubbt_fc_patterns?

That is about 1/3 the size of the threads on the forum.

I don't recall a stock table with that name!
At least it does not exist in version 7.5.6
I just checked three sites on that version including the patched and fc_pattern does not appear as a table.
So you must have some custom stuff there.

Interesting this is what the file looks like...

Well the image cropped off the field names
But could it be a mod such as the chat mod From ubbdev?

here is a better screen shot...

I so appreciate the help... thanks

Can't help much. The fields don't ring a bell.
And it is not part of stock ubb.
So it must be a mod you added somewhere in time.
Because one field is"bot" I assume it is some forum spam tool
But that is just a guess.

Well I am getting a ridiculous amount of bandwidth for the amount of full members on every day.. ie 50-60 members and 10 gigs of traffic a day.... thinking I shoudl delete that if it is not part of the stock threads mysql, if you could please confirm again BEFORE I delete that I would soooo appreciate that.

I am not clear on your current version.
But I checked
one site v7.5.6p2.
No table with fc_patterns or any variations.
Another site v7.5.6 Result no again
Another site v7.5.5 Result no again.

I just zeroed it out.... things are working fine this may have been on of my traffic problems....

Thanks so much!!!

I would hold on to the table for a while.
It must be something you added at one time and wanted.

thanks, I did hold on to it, and just emptied it.

wonder if it as a mod Josh did years ago....

Could be
But if it is that old I would think it has been unused for the same amount of time.
Since you have been upgrading over the years.

All UBB tables are uppercase; that's definitely 3rd party...

Well that is interesting... what are these then?

Looks like a FlashChat install.

BINGO! Thanks
