vBulletin Big Board Importer [vBulletin 3 + vBulletin 4] [Paid] 1.5.0

[Brent W]

Edit that user in the vB Admin CP. The edit page has an option to edit their avatar.

I'd have to install vBulletin on the test server. Right now I just have the database. If there isn't a way to do it via Database I will move the vB files over I guess.

Then yes, delete the user record from customavatar and customprofilepic.

For what its worth this is the file extension: vs.bmp

Is there another area in the code where I should be excluding bmp for avatars and profile pictures?

 

[Brent W]

Just had a .art file throw me off as well.

 

[Brent W]

Alright got done with the export. .bmp and .art files in a few users avatars. On to the import....

I'm on vb3. I did a test import with the standard importer and it took over a day so now I'm thinking about buying this. A little nervous tho as I'm not as knowledgable as a lot of you guys and it's a heap of money for me currently.

1. Are you able to add dbtech thanks/likes as an option to the importer or give me some good instructions on how I can go about this. (I was a bit confused the other day Jake with those instructions in another thread you gave me)

2. I rely heavily on paid subscriptions in vb3. Can I also have some good instructions on what I will need to do to ensure they import and the users who subscribed with PayPal will continue to renew and work okay.

3. What are my options with users albums in vb3?

4. I have vbseo. Will redirects work all good with this still?

1) Do you have a link?

2) Subscriptions need to be created before the import is done, and require the same ID's as in vbulletin. They will not however recur, at the end of the period will simply expire and the user will need to re-sign up. This will happen on any import. Theoretically it is possible to write something to keep them working, but it would require something custom made...

3) This importer will not import albums.

4) Just create the relevent htaccess rewrites to either a) Convert back to normal vbulletin url formats and use the redirection scripts or b) redirect directly to the xenforo format.

For 4. I'm confused sorry. For b will I be able to use the redirection script from mike?

It no longer works im afriad.

Should be able to yes, now we have the import log added

 

[ehd]

Damn, last week it still worked... What happened?

Domain is down, is there anywhere a similar tool?

 

[Brent W]

Who was the person behind that tool? I'll host it if they provide the files. I have used that so many times.

 

[ehd]

I got it working both on my testserver (2) and on my regular server (1).
But on server one (there is the live-db of the forum) it doesn't work with users:

Make Selection [1-9]: 2

exporting users...
user & user authenticateweb1@xx:~/html/xxx/xxx$

The produced files (xf_user.txt, xf_user_authenticate.txt) have 0 bytes.

Could it be the problem, that the forum is currently running? But why does it work with all the other fields? I don't even get an error-message with 'users'...

Thanks

 

[Slavik]

Have you given the relevent mysql users the grant all privileges?

 

[ehd]

Yes, full rights like on the other server. But why could just die the user-selection without any error and all the others succeed?

 

[ehd]

I have also checked the error_log on the server and "admin.php?logs/server-error". Nothing appears there...

Question when I go to match up the user upgrade id's to the vbulletin 3.8 subscription ID, what do I have to do? Do I need to edit that directly in the database?

I've now bought this, and the only thing I think I need help with is changing over the thanks to dbtech thanks as per question 1 and possibly the paid subscriptions.

You should be able to do that I think yes, @Jake Bunce can confirm.

Can you post me the schema for the dbtech thanks table?

Yep.
