XF 1.3 MyBB Test Import Link and Attachment Issues

[Joshua]

I have a fresh test import of a MyBB 1.6.x forum that shows attachments in posts like this:

[attachment=xxxxxx]

And links are not clickable. Any ideas what could be causing this and how to remedy it?

 

[Jake Bunce]

I have a script to auto-hyperlink raw URLs using XF's own helper functions. I would prefer to run it myself if you want to give me FTP access.

The attachment posting codes can probably be regexed using this tool:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/post-content-find-replace.1549/

But I would want to verify that the ids are the same first. I can look at this too if you give me access.

Thanks for the help, Jake. The IDs are the same. I think I ran into this same problem when you converted another MyBB site of mine.
I'll see if the regex tool works on my test import.

As for auto-hyperlinks, maybe I can have you run your script on the final import since it sounds like a sure thing once I'm ready for it to be done.

I am in the same situation.
I have been replaced all [attachment=xxx] with and works fine.

But I need to make clickable all links.

And I need to replace all [youtube] and media tags from mybb to xenforo, this is very difficult to me.

Jake, you can help me to made clickable all links with your script?

Thanks.

But I need to make clickable all links.

Hyperlinking URLs in posts is not so easily done. I tried to do this with regex once before but it didn't work well. You really need to use a proper parser to auto-link URLs. I have a script for this which I can run for you. But I would insist on running it myself. I can do this if you give me access to your server.

And I need to replace all [youtube] and media tags from mybb to xenforo, this is very difficult to me.

I need an example of an old [youtube] tag from MyBB.

Dear Jake, this is the most common youtube tags in my mybb forum:

Another problem:
The arrow of the quotes is missing.

Another problem:
The arrow of the quotes is missing. View attachment 83863

The arrow only shows if the quote refers to a specific postid. Your imported quotes probably don't do this.
