    • Advamced DB operations (Create Table, Update, etc) in Tiki 9.1?

    Posted by JustKen

    Hi all,

    Is there documentation for updating the Tiki database using plugins? Like creating my own tables and populating them? Does anyone actually do this?

    Thanks,

    You can use the same database patch system used by Tiki itself.

    Some documentation is available: Database Schema Upgrade
    You will also find hundreds of sample patches in the source tree.

    Essentially, all of Tiki's patches have an _tiki suffix. You can drop in files without that suffix and the installer will apply them automatically on update or clean install.

    Thanks, lphuberdeau,

    I realized on the drive home today that some examples of database updates might be found in the source code. I'll check out the Database Schema Upgrade. Hopefully I'll be able to come up with methods to store information in the database without breaking my Tiki.
