vBulletin 4 Importer

[Paul M]

I updated the zip a few minutes ago, with some extra code to set the filesize for imported attachments, as I noticed the current importer doesnt seem to do that, they are all filesize 0 !

 

[bambua]

Yeah I just turned on the debug mode, I'll give it another shot after I get home/restore to the SQL just before I did the import.

Optimize you database before import.
trim it, clean it then optimize it and try again

Thanks for Your time and effort, absolutely awesome job!
The only problem I have (though I think it's more related to how I configured my XF) is with the hidden forums I've had on my VB4. They are shown in the XF admin panel, but not on the forum itself.
What's the problem or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the reply!

Hello Blandt,

i have tryed this, but i doesn´t work. Any ideas ?

Do you get any php errors? (error log?) or server errors?

the only thing I can think of is something that the import script couldn't insert into xF db in cases like mismatched charset ..etc ..
Do you have any funny characters in your threads ? (Log would be more helpful)

 

[Paul]

to optimise the db before import (as suggested before)...

mysqlcheck -o -u mysqlusername -p forumdbname

should work all ok.....

Hello Blandt,

mysql.log:

No content.

mysql.err:

Edit: Here the restart result:



That is not good....

 

[Blandt]

Say...
do you have the pretty URLs on? The only thing left to think of is your .htaccess

if you do, turn them off , clean install and try to re-import.....

I imported the usergoups, but when I try importing users, I get "A server error occurred. Please try again later."
Switching on debug, it shows "Undefined index: field3"

I only have two of the orginal user profile fields (biography and location)
I tried adding a 3rd profile field, but it still gives the same error.
Any suggestions to get round this error ?

 

[gib]

I removed field3 from the script and it ran fine

Im trying not to fix things that XF themselves are likely to fix, but in the case of this, its a small bug just in the vb4 importer file, so ive fixed it.

 

[Anthony Parsons]

Thanks Paul... will give this a crack tomorrow on two vb4.x forums.

 

[Renada]

Thank you Paul

 

[Anthony Parsons]

Worked perfectly.... absolutely flawless Paul. Really nice work.

Now to just bring in blog content manually as threads and posts, then one new project is going live.

 

[jacko]

Worked like a charm Paul! YOU ROCK! www.dodgeboard.com/community
The only (minor) problem I had was with polls.
"A server error occurred. Please try again later."

[Paul M]

remember that at this point video tags are not converted:

Try the version I just uploaded, it should convert video codes.

It also fixes a bug in the original importer where deleted & moderated threads or posts were made visible again.
