XF 2.0 Lost all pre-made navigation menus

[Nicolas FR]

Hello,

I've lost all the navigation menus, how to restore them ? One by one ? How can i know what was it and how to know what was the links ?

 

[Ozzy47]

How did you manage to loose them all?

 

[Nicolas FR]

Create a new tab, put all of them inside, delete the tab...

 

[Ozzy47]

Only way I know of (there may be other ways) is to recreate them one by one. You could set up a demo and see what the links and permissions were.

 

[Ozzy47]

Unless of course you have a recent backup, then you could just restore that instead.

 

[Nicolas FR]

I was thinking restore a style will restore the navigation too... but not.

What kind of back-up can restore the navigation ?

 

[Ozzy47]

A recent backup of your site, restoring to a point before you borked the navigation up would bring it back.

 

[Nicolas FR]

I never back-up my site. How to do that ?

I export regularly the style and my host back up the database too.

 

[Ozzy47]

When was the last time your host backed up the site?

Create a new tab, put all of them inside, delete the tab...

Amazing way to shoot yourself into the foot

Do have shell access? If so: php cmd.php xf:rebuild-master-data

Five hours ago... not so far for a empty forum...

LOL

Shell access ? I really don't know...

 

[Ozzy47]

Well perhaps rebuilding the master data as @Kirby suggests, if that does not work or you can’t, then have the host restore the backup, after taking a new backup.

I've reached SSH using Terminal in my Mac but i don't know the password... Is it the same as ftp access ?

 

[Kirby]

Could be, but does not have to - purely depends on how the server is set up
Our servers for example don't allow ssh log-in with pasword at all.

 

[Nicolas FR]

I've got permission denied message... so i think my server don't allow access too.
I will try restore the most recent backup...

 

[Ozzy47]

Let us know how that goes, fingers crossed.

 

[Nicolas FR]

restoration in progress...

 

[Nicolas FR]

it's over, I do not dare to press the refresh button

 

[Nicolas FR]

It works fine !!

Many thanks ozzy and Kirby
