Quick fixes

Important : You must backup all your existing Grupo files & database before applying any of these fix. We are not responsible for the loss of any data.

1. Showing Incorrect Encoding or Invalid Characters
   This is usually due to wrong DB collation. Kindly Check your database Collation.
   • Make sure your database collation is utf8mb4_unicode_ci
   • Run the following SQL statements :

     UPDATE gr_defaults SET v2=convert(cast(convert(v2 using  latin1) as binary) using utf8)  WHERE 1;
     UPDATE gr_phrases SET full=convert(cast(convert(full using  latin1) as binary) using utf8) WHERE 1;
     UPDATE gr_phrases SET short=convert(cast(convert(short using  latin1) as binary) using utf8) WHERE 1;
     UPDATE gr_profiles SET name=convert(cast(convert(name using  latin1) as binary) using utf8) WHERE 1;
     UPDATE gr_profiles SET v1=convert(cast(convert(v1 using  latin1) as binary) using utf8) WHERE 1;
     UPDATE gr_profiles SET v2=convert(cast(convert(v2 using  latin1) as binary) using utf8) WHERE 1;
     UPDATE gr_users SET name=convert(cast(convert(name using  latin1) as binary) using utf8) WHERE 1;
     UPDATE gr_users SET email=convert(cast(convert(email using  latin1) as binary) using utf8) WHERE 1;
     UPDATE gr_options SET v1=convert(cast(convert(v1 using  latin1) as binary) using utf8) WHERE 1;

     UPDATE gr_msgs SET rtxt=convert(cast(convert(rtxt using  latin1) as binary) using utf8) WHERE 1;
     UPDATE gr_permissions SET name=convert(cast(convert(name using  latin1) as binary) using utf8) WHERE 1;
     

   • Visit <yourgrupodomain>/act/reset using your web browser & try to login as Admin
2. Showing undefined/test in header when opening chat
   Run the following SQL statement :

   ALTER TABLE `gr_msgs` ADD `lnurl` TEXT NULL AFTER `cat`, ADD `lntitle` VARCHAR(150) NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER `lnurl`, ADD `lndesc` VARCHAR(150) NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER `lntitle`, ADD `lnimg` TEXT NULL AFTER `lndesc`;
