XF 1.5 Questions on converting VB to XF

[micron]

1. If you fulfill all the points of conversion, and not to import attachments and click the import was successful. To return to the import attachments will be already impossible?

2. On my VB forum, there are additional groups that I created myself. When you convert, they will appear in the XF? Or do I need to delete them, and users move in group - registered?

3. The groups are named in Russian. I need to rename them to English, or the language in which they are written does not affect the transfer of groups?

Have you actually completed the import? (As in, clicked the button "complete import".)

Yes. I pointed out - archived_import_log , set the checkbox. Or the table name must be different? Example: archived_import_log_vb? In database no such table no.

You will not be able to automatically change your custom gender field to use the standard one. This would need to be changed by hand.

Ha ha! 25000 participants to move the hands! How do you represent? You can help to make a SQL query or a simple php file to a custom field transfer in the field of Xeno is gender.

Yes. I pointed out - archived_import_log , set the checkbox. Or the table name must be different?

If you archived the log, the table name will be whatever you entered. If you didn't archive it, the data will still be in xf_import_log.

 

[micron]

Restart the conversion. Archive table is created.

Next question. After migrate IP addresses the messages are missing. What is the reason?

 

[Mike]

IP data is imported, but it still respects the "Delete IP usage data after X days" option (which defaults to only keeping the IPs for a year).

 

[micron]

So, I found it. The option is turned off. How can I see the old IP address? Or they were removed after converting a database?

 

[Mike]

You'd normally click the "IP" link on a post or browse a user's IPs in the control panel. If they aren't showing there, then they aren't present in the database.

 

[micron]

IP address only for the year. I need all IP addresses, for the entire period of the forum. How to do it?

I need to convert the database to disable the option of deleting the IP addresses?

 

[micron]

So for IP addresses? How do I move them all from VB to Xeno?

 

[Mike]

They should be imported. You would need to disable that option before importing if you want to keep all historical records.

Next question. Carry a smile. Xeno doesn't see the gifs.

/www/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.gif

 

[Paul B]

Do the smiley images exist in the directory?

Right click on one and open in a new tab to check.

 

[micron]

www.site.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.gif

In the browser, the smiley face open.

 

[Mike]

We'd need a URL where we can see the issue.

 

[micron]

The host is closed for external connections, so to go there will not.

 

[micron]

The question is removed. The path should be like this: /styles/default/xenforo/smilies/ban.gif

 

[micron]

The forum quotes short tag [q] [/q] Now the quotes are not displayed. Tell me how to add tag citation [q] [/q] to quote properly display?

You can create a custom BB code that implements the styling you need for that.

Please also update your customer area to reflect the site you are running XF on.

I understand that perfectly. I need a sample code that I add in custom BB codes.

Please also update your customer area to reflect the site you are running XF on.

The current website is running under the control of VB. Since I already purchased a license Xeno, I am currently in the transition to Xeno. So I first check on the local host, then to make the upgrade and transition into your engine. Am I doing something wrong?
When I turn on the Xeno, so I can update the data. If you are very interested, I can give a link to the current forum and you will see that he is still running VB.
