Hello,
I have 287 threads that I want to add a poll to. The poll responses are the same for all the polls, simplifying the process of adding them.
But adding them manually would take hours and hours and hours, so I want to do it with queries.
I think answering this might need input from one of the dev team.
Assuming nobody else creates a poll before or during this process...
First, for each thread I need to change the thread type from discussion to poll.
Then add each new xf_poll record for 287 polls (I've created 287 queries with the correct information. This is the first one:
the next poll ID being 15 provided nobody creates a poll between now and when I run it.
And then add the poll responses for the 287 new polls. The next poll_response record is number 61.
Is that correct and is that all I have to do?
