    <p>I'm attempting to create a new forum on an existing forum. I can create the new forum quite easily and view it from the admin console. The problem is I need it to show up at the front end as well for users. This is done via permissions.</p> <p>What I am attempting to do therefore is copy the permissions of the parent forum (which is public) to the forum I create. However the forum still doesn't appear to be showing up on the public facing side.</p> <p>Here's my code (please note the phpBB include files have been loaded previously):</p> <pre><code>// $forum_name = name of the new forum // $parent_id = the forum which this is a child of function create_forum($forum_name, $parent_id) { global $phpbb_root_path, $phpEx, $user, $auth, $cache, $db, $config, $template, $table_prefix; $response = array(); $data = array( 'forum_name' =&gt; $forum_name, ); // Forum info $sql = 'SELECT forum_id FROM ' . FORUMS_TABLE . ' WHERE ' . $db-&gt;sql_build_array('SELECT', $data); $result = $db-&gt;sql_query($sql); $forum_id = (int) $db-&gt;sql_fetchfield('forum_id'); $db-&gt;sql_freeresult($result); if ($forum_id) { $response['error'] = TRUE; $response['error_msg'] = 'FORUM_EXISTS'; $response['forum_id'] = $forum_id; } else { $forum_data = array( 'parent_id' =&gt; $parent_id, 'left_id' =&gt; 0, 'right_id' =&gt; 0, 'forum_parents' =&gt; '', 'forum_name' =&gt; $data['forum_name'], 'forum_desc' =&gt; '', 'forum_desc_bitfield' =&gt; '', 'forum_desc_options' =&gt; 7, 'forum_desc_uid' =&gt; '', 'forum_link' =&gt; '', 'forum_password' =&gt; '', 'forum_style' =&gt; 0, 'forum_image' =&gt; '', 'forum_rules' =&gt; '', 'forum_rules_link' =&gt; '', 'forum_rules_bitfield' =&gt; '', 'forum_rules_options' =&gt; 7, 'forum_rules_uid' =&gt; '', 'forum_topics_per_page' =&gt; 0, 'forum_type' =&gt; 1, 'forum_status' =&gt; 0, 'forum_posts' =&gt; 0, 'forum_topics' =&gt; 0, 'forum_topics_real' =&gt; 0, 'forum_last_post_id' =&gt; 0, 'forum_last_poster_id' =&gt; 0, 'forum_last_post_subject' =&gt; '', 'forum_last_post_time' =&gt; 0, 'forum_last_poster_name' =&gt; '', 'forum_last_poster_colour' =&gt; '', 'forum_flags' =&gt; 32, 'display_on_index' =&gt; FALSE, 'enable_indexing' =&gt; TRUE, 'enable_icons' =&gt; FALSE, 'enable_prune' =&gt; FALSE, 'prune_next' =&gt; 0, 'prune_days' =&gt; 7, 'prune_viewed' =&gt; 7, 'prune_freq' =&gt; 1, ); $sql = 'SELECT MAX(right_id) AS right_id FROM ' .

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
