Restore Database

[rdarling]

I just wanted to say "Thank you!!!!" for not putting a JavaScript confirm dialog box on the link that allows you to restore a database. I was going through deleting backups and managed to accidentally click "Restore Database" instead of "Delete" on the maintenance page and now I have lost all the work done for the day. Again I say "Thank you!!!"

Once again it looks like I will have to sift through the code in this horribly documented system so that I may fix the problem myself.

Happened to me too, but I had lost about a week's worth of data

If anybody is wondering I went ahead and made a fix for this issue.

Open 'admin\templates\maintenance\backup_files.xml'
Around line 45 you will find something like this:

<img src="img/icon_database_restore.gif" onclick="$('report_window').src = 'db_maintence.php?restore&amp;file={file.get_basen ame}.{file.extension}';" alt="{LNG_ADMIN_DATABASE_RESTORE}" title="{LNG_ADMIN_DATABASE_RESTORE}" />

Add the following just before '$('report_window')'

if(confirm('Are you sure you want to restore from this backup?'))

The whole line should look like the one below.

<img src="img/icon_database_restore.gif" onclick="if(confirm('Are you sure you want to restore from this backup?'))$('report_window').src = 'db_maintence.php?restore&amp;file={file.get_basen ame}.{file.extension}';" alt="{LNG_ADMIN_DATABASE_RESTORE}" title="{LNG_ADMIN_DATABASE_RESTORE}" />

This will now make a confirmation dialog box appear when you click the restore button.
