OK, still no answer: That third-party modification posted here. Is it a complete vBulletin 4 importer, or what? Just trying to plan my strategy when I buy two more licenses and do forum conversions.
Uh, he did reply above.OK, still no answer: That third-party modification posted here. Is it a complete vBulletin 4 importer, or what? Just trying to plan my strategy when I buy two more licenses and do forum conversions.
That probably means that you may use the file simunaqv has attached since it is basically Paul's importer with a fix applied.This is not a separate add-on. This is just Paul vb4 importer with a fix applied.
TBH, I dont know what comment you mean, so it cant have offended me.Thank you Paul, I really like your work and appreciate your followup. I meant no offense by the remark just illustrating the position you are in with a conflict of interest.
As Paul said, I am working on an independent solution for several reasons that can't be revealed just yet... You'll see them soon enough.ok, so just to make sure I understand what is going on here --
1) Paul M has turned his (great) work over to the community, b/c he can no longer maintain it.
2) King K is going to work from his own code base to try to come up with a solution independent of the one that exists
3) The core developers are aware of the current lack of a supported solution, and will also be working on one (?) ETA... some time in The Future?
thanks!
Paul's importer was not updated for anything included in XF 1.1. I'm hoping to have a beta soon.I have a better question. Does the modified vB 4 import tool posted here, with support for prefixes, work with vB 4, or is what the person above is asking still required?
What about other solutions? Progress?
I didn't even bother trying to do it again. smhSo I ran the importer and it imported everything fine except for two things. It seems to be in an endless loop trying to import blogs. Only way to end it is to click the Import External Data breadcrumb. The other thing is attachments. The import button for this is greyed out and I'm stuck without any attachments being brought over. They are stored in the file system in vB. Will I have to move them to the database? I saw posts both ways about this, so not sure which way to go.
Thanks!
No.So just pick up the attachments directory and move it to the XF install?
