XF 2.0 Sample forum database

[JackieChun]

We are having a designer work on a new forum theme to be used with the 2.0 upgrade. Is there a sample forum database we can import into the new installation so that the designer can have something to work with instead of a blank forum? I am thinking a bunch of forum nodes, categories, users, and "res ipsa" type posts/threads.

Why not just create filler content? That's what I do.

It's a common use case and I am asking whether there is already a template sample forum out there.

Make a copy of your existing site.

Make a copy of your existing site.

That would have been the obvious solution, but the designer is a freelancer and we can't expose member emails etc to an outsider.

Then you would have to populate the DB yourself. Or duplicate your current site, and change all the emails.

Having some dummy data is a good suggestion but no, it doesn't already exist.

Just create via the admin panel half a dozen or so users and then create a few nodes/categories.

Now use the feeder/RSS import to import a few types of feed such as various news sites. Although not ideal, it will at least provide some "content" on those pages at least.

May be possibly worth starting a conversation between two test users so that can be also viewed too.
