Where do I find ... ?
« on: February 10, 2018, 07:30:42 AM »
Hello

I have moved my Abantecart installation to a new host using a slightly unorthodox method.
I backed up the database and FTP transferred the whole installation to my laptop.

On the new host it is now up and running, except that the Layouts are back to default.
Please tell me which folder or file this is stored under.
(Not admin console settings - I know where that is ).

Thank you

Check if you have correct template selected.

Layouts are based on 3 main tables.

ac_layouts
ac_pages_layouts
ac_block_layouts

You need to have all related records present.

See all tables in here:

Thank you for the reply.

Do you know which folders though?
You see why I ask for this specifically is because I have copied some to the new host but not all.

So I suppose I should ask:
Which folders do I need to copy across when I want to move my Abantecart to a new host?
Using the backup method is not an option.
I only have the database as backup, the files/folder are only available as a direct FTP download from the old host.
Old hosting account doesn't exist any more/

Thank you - I did read that BEFORE posting here.

Please re-read - I have done this differently to the link's method, so I need to know an answer to a simple question.
I can't go back to doing a backup as per their method, that isn't an option.

Surely layout/blocks are stored somewhere?
All I need to know is where.

Funny, that is what I thought. But it doesn't work even though other things were imported with the database and they do work.

Ok, looks like I'll have to fix them manually rather.
