Automatically transferring themes… question

[one1]

I’m going to attempt to follow these instructions given here.

@pfaffman

This should do it, but you should make a backup first.

get into rails

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app

do these commands

old_id=2
new_id=21
UserOption.where(theme_ids: [old_id]).update_all(theme_ids: [new_id])

ask.discourse.com is telling me that the getting into rails part should actually be:

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c

Or that I should put rails runner "..." around the command:

rails runner "UserOption.where(theme_ids: [23]).update_all(theme_ids: [56])"

I've never done any rails commands before so I'm quite nervous.

@one1

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c

Yes, rails c should be there to access the rails console. Typing quit when inside would exit it.

Thanks!

It seems like one then has to type exit to get back to where one started.
