vBulletin 4 Importer

Yeah I know it was, that's why I checked yours to see if you used that part of the code.

Ok i'm going for stupid question of the day - i'm sure i've nailed it.

So - importing - i'm presuming that an import of vB4 into Xenforo means that the xF forum needs to be in "virginal" condition i.e. no members (other then Admin) and no changes in forums/posts to the original setup?? I;ve thrown a couple of posts in mine, and created a couple of forums - and whilst it's nearly new, i dont want this to cause issues when it's no trouble to re-install!!

Thx
Paul

Nope, it does need to be an empty forum.

Cool thanks Paul - thought as much, just wanted to confirm

I really should read my replies ....

That was supposed to say doesn't.

You can import into a forum that already has posts and users.

Apologies for the typo.

Would be nice if it could import Paid Subscriptions.

Wonderful importer, btw.

One more question:

What would happen if I imported the same database but with more members+posts(testing with backups)? Would the importer overwrite the existing data or would it just add the new members+posts?

Thanks

 

[Paul M]

It would re-import all the posts, and depending on what option you took, merge the members into the existing ones.

I'm getting this error importing with Beta 3 on the import forum step:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method XenForo_Model_Import::importNodeGroupPermissions() in /home/shadowsp/public_html/vb/library/XenForo/Importer/vBulletin4.php on line 1447



Also, it appears that it didnt import all the members (about 500 are missing) w/no error message.

 

[Edrondol]

I get the same thing. I assume it's a Beta 3 thing.

If possible please post the full error (all lines).

Edrondol is correct, thats existing vb3 importer code, but even so, im puzzled why it would think that function is undefined.

I thought he said beta 3 not vb3 Sorry Paul, I reinstalled everything already but didnt import.

The structure of that code has changed in beta 3 - there's a more general method (insertNodePermissionEntries).

 

[Edrondol]

I did say Beta 3. And that line is the entire error message.

Oh .... Beta 3 ?

Well that would explain it - I didnt realise there was a beta 3 released.

 

[Edrondol]

I know. I really, REALLY wish they'd send out a message when they release a new version, know what I'm saying?

 

[Robbo]

Be nice if we could just watch the forum or something.

 

[Edrondol]

Ooh! Sarcasm! That's original!

Oh, and could you tell me how to follow a sub board? I know you can follow threads, but I don't think you can follow the Announcements board.

1.34 uploaded.

Includes beta 3 changes and slight persmission changes on the blog/cms/sg forums that the importer creates.
