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

[Jake Bunce]

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

No.

The unofficial vB4 importer imports them as threads.

The official vB4 importer ignores them.

This "big board" importer ignores them.

 

[Gladius]

To be honest, for $150 I expect a full importer of everything and not having to **** around with more than one importer to get everything imported. For my purposes importing albums and blogs as threads would be good enough at least as a temporary solution and far preferential to not importing this content at all.

 

[Jake Bunce]

You could use this importer:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/vb4-importer.1025/

It does albums, blogs, articles, and social groups as threads. But it is a web-based importer so it's not suitable for extremely large forums like this importer is.

I would pay a lot more than 150 to import 13 million posts in 2 hours vs 3-4 DAYS with other importers. Just sayin if u don't need the speed, don't pay for it.

Why not just use this importer to import everything else and then import blogs into a blogs addon, import albums into a gallery addon and import groups into a groups addon?
That would make much more sense to me than importing those as threads.

Doesn't help me since the forum I want to import is 3.8... which this importer does directly (no, I really don't want to go through the 4.x "upgrade", ugh). Unfortunately there are snags like that with each of the three importers. But since this one costs $150 it's reasonable to expect that it would import everything. Yes, social groups and "thanks" too, in case they're currently not imported either.

Heck, you're the author of all that stuff in the other importer, aren't you? Can't you just copy all those parts over to this importer to offer us the whole package?

Well, I'm sure with a board that size you can afford to pay far more, the board I want to convert isn't THAT large...

I'm probably going to nix blogs altogether or just use the forum functionality for it, the gallery addon that I'd want to use hasn't been made yet and groups are such a miss of a concept that I definitely don't want to drag them over to XenForo and want that legacy content as threads instead.

That's why...

How large is the forum you want to convert?

 

[Gladius]

About 800k posts and like I mentioned previously I'm not looking at this importer just for the sake of the import speed but rather all the other features of it - like 3.8 import support for example. My ideal importer would be a combination of this importer and Jake's since I could import everything in one go with the minimum amount of hassle.

You appear to be running vB4, but you neglected to enable that flag at the top of the Export script.

	// IS VB4? IF NOT THEN VB3
	public static $isVB4 = false;

It says the same thing all the files.
Except User.txt. How do I fix it?

'rehash' to get table and field completion, but startup
and reconnecting may take a longer time. Disable with
--disable-auto-rehash.
(Defaults to on; use --skip-auto-rehash to disable.)
-A, --no-auto-rehash
No automatic rehashing. One has to use 'rehash' to get
table and field completion. This gives a quicker start of
mysql and disables rehashing on reconnect.

(Enables --silent.)

-G, --named-commands
Enable named commands. Named commands mean this program's
internal commands; see mysql> help . When enabled, the
named commands can be used from any line of the query,
otherwise only from the first line, before an enter.
Disable with --disable-named-commands. This option is
disabled by default.

option is disabled by default.

--prompt=name Set the mysql prompt to this value.
--protocol=name The protocol to use for connection (tcp, socket, pipe,
memory).

hi, can you help in this problem?

 

[Slavik]

hi, can you help in this problem?

It was discussed several pages back in the thread. Its a problem with your server and the REPLACE command.

 

[Gladius]

So Jake, any chance of you adding everything missing in this importer from your importer?

The 2 mothods of importing are incompatible, so cut and pasting it in won't work, it would require a whole lot of extra work to add those extras.

If you want to fund it, i'm sure we can come to some accomodation, otherwise no, they won't be added.

It was discussed several pages back in the thread. Its a problem with your server and the REPLACE command.

Deleting the REPLACE commands worked in a single statement, but I fear, that deleting the REPLACE is not a solution. I asked my host about the problem, but he was not sure, what this is causing.

This might have told me that you are working on it, but I'm not sure..

Unfortunately it's a configuration problem with your server, most likely with how it escapes characters.

Theres nothing we can do to "fix" the importer aside from to remove the replace command unless Jake can think of some magic to bypass the problem. I have tested this on clean installs of Centos from 5.5 to 6.4, and it works correctly on all of them.
