Importing vBulletin 4 question

[Vidmarc]

I have quite a few images on my forum that instead of hosting remotely, I've ticked the vB4 option "Retrieve remote file and reference locally".

Is this option available in XF, and will this importer work with these images?

Is that for attachments or hotlinked images?
How does that feature work in practice (I'm not familiar with vB).

 

[Vidmarc]

I think ticking this option allows vBulletin to import a copy of the image file.

How is the image displayed in the post?
Is it using standard IMG tags or is it considered an attachment/uploaded file?

 

[Vidmarc]

An imported image appears like this:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]1683[/ATTACH]

An imported image appears like this:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]1683[/ATTACH]

Assuming the attachments import properly, there is a find-replace add-on you could use to replace the old [attach] BBCode in posts with xenForo's equivalent.

 

[Vidmarc]

Will the importer also import the attached images?

Will the importer also import the attached images?

Yeah, just that the BBCode is ...different.

That vB4 importer automatically updates [attach] tags. It should automatically work to preserve the inline image attachments. The replacement tool shouldn't be needed.
