import

This command attempts to import the vBulletin 3/4 moderator log into XenForo 2. It originated from a bug report: vB4 Import: Support for importing the moderator log. It is by no means a finished product and I cannot provide any guarantees or support! The command has served me well during my vB4...

I'm doing a test run locally of importing my vB5 forum into XenForo and I got the following error via CLI: - Step 9 of 26: Profile comments 00:01:09 [7,607] [XF\Db\Exception] MySQL query error [1406]: Data too long for column 'old_id' at row 1 I modified the log table's...

Hi, I just connected a newsfeed to the forum and it works. But i have two additional questions: 1. I'd like to reduce the max number of characters in a newsfeed post. People should only see a part of the post like the next example...

I did an XF2 upgrade the other day. Finally got it to work, but there were too many issues with the database and was causing all kinds of slow downs and other server side issues that I just did a completely fresh install of XF2. Is there a way at all to get the XF1 data for users and posts...

Hello! I imported from SMF 2.0.14 and i could see all the topics before messing around with styles. What could possibly be the issue?

I've been performing an import from vB 3.8. Everything was going smoothly until I click the "Import Attachments" button, and I got this error: I skipped importing "content tags" step because I don't want tags from previous vBulletin site. Was that the problem? I don't think so. And got...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if it's possible to import the data from xenForo 1.x to the new xenForo 2.x. If yes, is there any guide for it? Best regards, CabCon.

I tried to import a SMF 2.0.13 forum to latest version of XenForo. I got this error message and the import ended. Any suggestions what to do next?

I"m password protecting our test site the simple way via .htaccess, even before the very long import process (importing millions of posts from VB4). Will that cause any problem with the import? I assume not, just want to confirm, thanks!

Doing some practice imports here, (importing from VB4+VBSEO), just have a simple question. Have many XF addons to install... does it really matter if the addons are done before or after the import? Thanks

I'm looking to move to xF from a growing phpBB community. A few threads here address the available support for importing phpBB (up to version 3.1) into xF. One thread mentioned that importers are added for "stable releases." Now that phpBB 3.2 is reportedly stable, are there plans to add an...

Hi we're trying to convert a very customized VB4+VBSEO forum with a few million posts to XF. Did a test import about a week ago which seems to have worked. However I didn't try to rebuild the search index until today. When I try to do that, it instantly confirms that it's done, which is kinda...

I am importing from vBulletin 4 into the latest version of Xenforo. When I get to the "Import Users" step, it stops and gives the following error: ******** Zend_Db_Statement_Mysqli_Exception: Mysqli statement execute error : Duplicate entry '2' for key 'PRIMARY' -...

I am fully expecting you guys to advise I just do a new import, however if any of you have a deeper understanding of the database I would really appreciate some pointers... So when we finally migrate our forum, we want to keep the old forum live, and then just do a mini import of the (possibly...

We are doing a conversion from vBulletin 4.2.1 to Xenforo. A few month ago, we installed the new Xenforo and did an import from vBulletin. On this development Xenforo install, we have been adjusting settings, changing permissions, etc. We are nearing the point of going live with Xenforo, so...

While going through the built-in import, once I got half way through to Import Forums step I got stuck at a 500 Error. So while checking error_log I found this error got generated: [22-Dec-2016 06:04:21 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate...

Import, xenforo updates, addon installs/upgrades take a very long time on big boards because everything is single threaded. Especially if there are multiple languages and styles. After import, xenforo updates, addon installs/upgrades the deferred process takes forever. No matter if your server...

Hello everyone, I've read this guide: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/importing-guidelines.25325/ and I'm wondering about the retaining content ID's. Currently, my live forum is running Vanilla and behind the scenes I'm building up my Xenforo forum. Adding all the trophies I have on...

If I purchase XF now... what about the URLs? Can they be made similar to VBSEO, VB5 or such? (vb5 has broken links from around the internet) Can old VBSEO "likes" be imported? (it would be nice for members to retain their current likes/reputation) [I have a backup of my DB from a couple of...

It would be pretty handy to be able to export options settings. This especially comes in handy when handling large addons with many settings, and in case of import preparations, but also just to have a backup of your settings. This will allow webmasters to easily import or restore settings...
