Reset abstract id counter

1

Dar Sir ,

I have installed indico on my local PC. For trail I have submitted few abstract. Now before making it public I want to reset to 1. Please guide me how to do ?

Why do you care? :slight_smile: (you shouldn’t care)

Anyway:

  • Delete all abstracts and contributions from the event
  • Then run the following code snippet in indico shell on the terminal:
event = E(YOUR_EVENT_ID)
event._last_friendly_contribution_id = 0
db.session.commit()

heheh thanks sir.

One doubt this YOUR_EVENT_ID is the last counter of abstract.

Is it possible to have AS001 as starting?

YOUR_EVENT_ID is the ID of the event, check the URL when viewing your event. For example, if the event URL was https://indico.cern.ch/event/1503347/, the ID would be 1503347.

No, you cannot have AS001 or something like this. The IDs are simply numeric and increment with every abstract submission, so when you submit the first abstract / create the first contribution (they share IDs), it will be assigned the friendly id 1.

A post was split to a new topic: Which file validates user data?

If you have indico installed, you also have indico shell. It’s literally a part of Indico.
