Details
editattachLatest.php file is a maintenance script that fixes incorrect values in the page_latest
field in the database.
The program is looking for pages with column page_latest
from the table page set to 0.
For these pages, it then attaches the latest revision of that page according to the revision timestamp.
The script finally prints out the number of pages, which have been or would be changed.
attachLatest.php does not check, if the revision, which is set as
page_latest
actually exists. If the page_latest
field points to a non-existing revision, attachLatest.php, unless used with the --regenerate-all
parameter, will not fix this.Options/Arguments
