Won't fix SIGPIC not imported from vb3.8?

[ijeffers]

Not sure if it's meant to import the SIGPIC or not from vB3, I did a quick search and only came up with a post from Paul that the vb4 importer doesn't parse sigpic.

Not a big problem for me because I only have 2/3 users who use sigpic, but just in case it was supposed to.

(vb 3.8.5, xf beta 5)

Considering theres no attachment functionality for signatures, I don't think it's supposed to import them.

XF doesn't have sig pics (and there's no intention to at this point), so this is expected.

 

[ijeffers]

Makes sense, thought there would be some reason for it.

Thanks

will the tags get removed during import?

will the tags get removed during import?

If you mean the [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] in the signature, then yes that does get imported and that's how it shows in the signature (it's how I noticed it)

 

[RobParker]

Yep, removing the tags during import would be a lot nicer if that was possible.

Guess will need to run some mass database update to remove the large amounts of "[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]" text in a lot of peoples signature.

Is there an option to not import signatures?

 

[Paul B]

No, but you can just truncate the table afterwards.

 

[KenSmith]

Just in case someone else needs it, here's the query to remove these:

update xf_user_profile set signature = replace(signature,'[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]','') where signature like '%[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]%';

Thank you, I just had to do this. I have a small site that was converted, so only a few thousand members and maybe 25% had siggys, so not a huge issue for me ... but too big to do manually.
