Minor problems with vB4 import

[Carlos]

When I imported my vb4 database over to xenforo, I had it in a different filepath, it was not in root yet. When I completed the import of the database, everything seemed perfect until small problem childs have come out to play:

1. Facebook Recommend and Google +1 both are acting up.

2. Most of the public forums are without posting privileges even as administrator.

I would like some directions, please.

1. no idea, sorry.
2. Remember, Administrators are not "super regular members" they need to have permissions set just like everyone else. One example: They are not even Moderators unless you grant them that privilege.

How so?

2. Most of the public forums are without posting privileges even as administrator.

You need to redo your node permissions. See this post for an explanation:

How so?

The Google +1 has worked for me on MVC3Forum before. Never gave me that red Google +1 warning.

As for Facebook's Recommend, when I click it, the "recommend" or like disappears. I'm already logged in [on facebook]....

Meh.

Well, I've run into a problem. I created a new usergroup, I've tried to add it to a user's list of groups, I then tried adding the group as the primary for the user...Nothing changes. The new usergroup has a defined username color, and a custom title..

What files need to be written in order for this to work?

1. Mine did the same thing. Actually for a while (about 8-9 days), the +1 button was just gone. I think it has to do with the forums being located in a different folder. Facebook only took a day or 2 and it worked fine.

2. None of the permissions will transfer from VB4 to XF, so you need to set the permissions for everything, forums and users groups. I think with my conversion, setting permission for the whole site took longer than importing my 600k posts.

Also, once you make a bunch of user group and forum permission changes, you might want to rebuild your caches.

While I was going through my ACP options, I came across my problem: When I switched pathfiles I left the trailing slash in basic board information. I removed the trailing slash and voila - IT WORKED!

I can feel your pain. It looks painful from where I sit. I have trouble trying to be careful not to mess anything up with permissions.

Also, once you make a bunch of user group and forum permission changes, you might want to rebuild your caches.

As I thought!

Thank you, sir!
