[DRE]

Importing my site to a test board. Ran into some errors.

First error due to this addon: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/join-user-group-by-waindigo.225/
Import User Groups.

Error

• The field 'joinable' was not recognised.
• The field 'joinable_moderated' was not recognised.
• The field 'description' was not recognised.

I uninstalled it and tried again.

Going to move to bugs so we can look into this.

The first one error shouldn't happen.

The second error should be suppressed but it's because the data directory path wasn't entered correctly.

 

[DRE]

Was using
/home/me/public_html/

and

/home/dre/public_html/internal_data

is it because I forgot to add a backslash?

/home/dre/public_html/internal_data/

 

[Mike]

Your data directory is /home/dre/public_html/data/ based on your internal_data value.

 

[DRE]

Does this look right? Talking bout internal data path.

 

[Mike]

No, your data directory is the data directory within your XF install, internal data is the internal_data directory (or where ever they're been put, if moved).

 

[DRE]

oh doh. I see what I did wrong. My bad.

 

[DRE]

I accidentally imported the same database I'm importing too.

At least that works.

 

[DRE]

All User Groups, Custom User Fields and Users were imported. It did that really fast.

I'd say.. less than a minute for all three of those.

It is stuck at User Following and Ignore Lists. It's been at 3.50% for the past 6 minutes.

 

[DRE]

There doesn't seem to be an order in which it imports user ids.

I wish it would import user ids by join date.

 

[Jeremy]

It imports users based on user_id, which, should be join date.

 

[DRE]

Since its been stuck on importing User Following and Ignore Lists at 3.50% for the past 30 minutes can I go back a page and import something else?

 

[DRE]

And it did actually import followers etc. Don't know why its stuck there still.

 

[DRE]

After skipping Import User Following and Ignore Lists, Import Personal Conversations and Import Profile Posts I tried to Import Nodes. When I click on Import Nodes it leads me back to the Import External Data Import list. Everything after that is faded out except for Import User Upgrades. Speaking of Import User Upgrades, I did that and it worked (even though I had no upgrades). Import User Following and Ignore Lists is still stuck at 3.50% which tells me this may actually all be related to deleted users.

 

[DRE]

off topic: so you are saying there is a importer that can merge two XF forums together?

A full import doesn't work if you have posts, conversations and profile posts from deleted users.

 

[Paul B]

There's reason why it is labelled as Beta @DRE.

• The field 'joinable' was not recognised.
• The field 'joinable_moderated' was not recognised.

This is only an error because you must have had the Join User Group add-on installed on one site and not on the other. If you install it on both it should work fine.

 

[Mike]

I have fixed both of the errors in the initial post.

 

[DRE]

I have fixed both of the errors in the initial post.

I'm really looking forward to this, thank you!
