• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

Moving a site and changing the Fabrik Connection

Hi there,

After having moved a 1.6.3 site (using Akeeba 3.2.7) we encountered a problem with the database connection.

Two things.

Ususally (on 1.5.23 sites) after having moved a website (either manually or using akeeba) the first thing we do is open the active database connection, in fabrik, and it will auto-fill that with the current/new database information.

Fabrik 3 doesn't do this.

We then noticed it still fancied a connection to the old database, even though we could verify the correct new information using the Administrator panel. When we looked in the database, in the connections table for fabrik we still saw the old database information there.

that's an intentional change. People were not getting that they had to save the form, as for them the details looked correct. You now have to ensure you enter the correct details.

I've updated the svn today so that only valid connections can be saved, and the session connection is also removed upon save, which is probably what you were seeing when the db connection info was correct but you were still unable to connect

We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
