I'm migrating a vBulletin 3 forum to XF2, and that vB forum contains (among other things) product reviews; I'm trying to work out how best to import and model those reviews in XF2. In particular, reviews work like this: there are various review categories (say, "Cars" and "Motorbikes" and...

They're plain text/HTML docs, mostly, which I want to appear as resources. I can poke them into the DB with some success (into `xf_rm_resource`) but some of the fields in that table are PHP-serialised things (`a:0:{}` and the like) so I'd rather use the proper creation stuff if possible so all...

Some hundreds, so you can see why I can't do it manually :) I can write some PHP code to do it if need be, if poking data directly into the database is not a good idea, but I don't know what to call to create a resource with known content; is there something I can look at for that?

I have a whole lot of external resources (written documents and posts) which I'd like to bring into my XF2 forum as Resources under the Resource Manager. Is there any way I can import them somehow? I'm a programmer, so I'm happy to write scripts and so on to do this, whether by inserting them...

If I import data from an existing board (VBulletin 3, in particular), and then import the same data again, can I have XF2 replace, or ignore, the duplicates? I've been running imports of a subset of my forum so I can test things out, because a full import would take a long time; I've then made a...

If I have three "levels" of forum nodes, XF2 helpfully displays the "third level" inline in the main forum list underneath their second level forum, rather than as a whole forum themselves. I'd like it to do this for second-level forums too. So, imagine I have these forums: Motorcycle chat Car...
