vBulletin Big Board Importer [vBulletin 3 + vBulletin 4] [Paid] 1.5.0

[Alpha1]

Does this importer import friends and ignores in one go? The stock importer does that which is mighty annoying for if you do not want to import friends as followers.

 

[digitalpoint]

Yes... friends are brought in as followers. Ignored users are brought in as ignored users.

I've always considered that a bug/flaw in xenforo, as a friend does not equal a follower. Therefore I do not want to import friends as followers. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

 

[digitalpoint]

Comment that part out? {shrug}

 

[Alpha1]

Cool. That means that the import of these two data sets is not intertwined.

 

[digitalpoint]

Nope... ignored users and followers are different things.

 

[Alpha1]

Yeah I know. Its just that the stock importer does intertwine these. So I thought I would ask before buying.

I'm just waiting for the 1.2 confirmation (with post history import and all) to buy it.

I am half way done checking for 1.2 compatibility. I have found a couple things so far, such as the xf_user.is_staff column which is new to 1.2

That is a problem with your MySQL permissions. Make sure the MySQL user has full access to the db.

How the Blogs and User Albuns are treated? As threads or ignored?

Ignored.

 

[Gladius]

Erm... what? Blogs and user albums don't get imported any more?

 

[Slavik]

They never were.

 

[Gladius]

Wait, so the default importer imports them as threads but this one doesn't import them at all?

Correct.

 

[Gladius]

That really doesn't make sense to me. Could you add the parts of the default importer to also import blogs and user albums to this one? Because when I'm going to pay $150 for this I really want to be able to do the import in one go, as quickly and as painlessly as possible.

I mean, this is just common sense... selling an importer that doesn't import everything that the default, free one does AND then some is really... odd to say the least.

 

[Deriel]

Yes, I was confused by this too - I have some 2k blog entries and about the same in Albuns that my users simply couldn't afford to lose. They would take a "convert to threads" solution, but not a "it's lost".

For me, that's a impeditive for buying.
