[DBTech] DragonByte SEO URLs to XenForo 2 1.2.0

[DragonByte Tech]

DragonByte Tech submitted a new resource:

[DBTech] DragonByte SEO URLs to XenForo 2 - Redirect your old DragonByte SEO URLs to XF2.

THIS RELEASE IS UNSUPPORTED AND PROVIDED ENTIRELY AS-IS WITH NO GUARANTEES, WARRANTIES OR PROMISE IT WILL WORK FOR YOU.

This script lets you import your old DragonByte SEO configuration and have any supported URLs redirected to XF2. Which URLs are supported depends on the XenForo Redirects for vBulletin script.

Install the addon, import the old DB via the importing interface, and...

I understand the script is unsupported, but if anyone had any idea why it would show 0 URLs that would be awesome.

 

[DragonByte Tech]

Because it doesn't actually import URLs, it generates a lookup file.

It is impossible to determine the amount of URLs that could possibly exist, so having a counter would make no sense.

The forum homepage is failing. Forum and categories are not visible. @DragonByte Tech
Some url forwarding did not happen. But in general url forwarding is successful.
Thank you.

I'm getting what @AndrewSimm is getting and nothing is in that table. Also, when I click a link everything I get the following error.

Oops! We ran into some problems.
MySQL statement prepare error [1146]: Table 'siccness_xf.import_table_name' doesn't exist
Old DBSEO url:

New xF url:

Hi,

so I got xenforo, installed it, imported from VB 4, kept post-id's, now I have a problem with redirects.

I got dbseo for vbulletin before, now I made a log table at the import from vb for the redirects as adviced. Then I installed your default redirector, who would work with un-dbseo'ed URLs of the old vbulletin, and it does.
Next step was, I added the free redirect script from dragonbyte, to preserve my links in google. Tests showed, the inner pages of the forums work, but not the example.com/index.php, there I get the error message below in debug mode, and a 404.

An exception occurred: [ErrorException] [E_NOTICE] Undefined offset: 1 in src/addons/DBTech/Redirect/XF/Mvc/Router.php on line 183

Any ideas?

Attach the internal_data/dbtechRedirect/urlFormats.php file here and I'll have a wee look to see if there's anything I can see wrong with it.

It's attached.
The forum was at the same location before.

Put this back in its place, I'm 75% certain the problem was an issue in the way this file is generated. Let me know if it works.

It works, Thank You very much, will for sure buy again, you saved my day;-)

DragonByte Tech updated [DBTech] DragonByte SEO URLs to XenForo 2 with a new update entry:

1.0.0 Alpha 2

Fix: Fixed an issue where the urlFormats.php file used as a lookup table could generate empty regular expressions, which causes issues when resolving old URLs.

If you were affected by this issue, re-do the "DragonByte Tech: SEO to DragonByte Redirect" import step after upgrading.

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

[DragonByte Tech]

It works, Thank You very much, will for sure buy again, you saved my day;-)

You don't need to upgrade to Alpha 2 since you've already got a working urlFormats file

Is it just me or is the zip download for this empty?

So, @DragonByte Tech if we figured out we needed this redirect AFTER we migrated and already have a week of forum posts / activity under our belt; is there any way to make this work without having to void all this activity and do the entire migration once more?

Do you still have your vB4 forum with DBSEO installed? Do you still have the import log from your migration? If so, absolutely

There is no need to run the migration again, this mod is designed to be installed after migration has completed and there's no time limit before it stops being effective.

 

[lygren]

Thanks for the speedy feedback! Yes, we certainly have our migration log, and we did install the add-on, but redirect did not work. We have both post-ID and thread-ID in our DragonByte SEO URL´s, so I´m just not understanding why this won´t work...

Did you also run the separate importer for the DBSEO URLs?

You must go to Tools -> Import data and run

 

[lygren]

AHA, sorry for being a complete moron, will test ASAP... You´re a lifesaver if this works out!

 

[DragonByte Tech]

Oh, and I forgot to mention, you also need this mod installed: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xenforo-redirects-for-vbulletin.6123/

I don't remember if I set it as a requirement to install, but that mod needs to be installed and the correct import log table must be selected, as this mod extends that mod to add support for DBSEO URLs.

 

[lygren]

Yes, that one we´ve got at least...
