Hi,
We just installed Xenforo Media Gallery into our Engineering environment to test it out on a site that we are yet to migrate in our live environment. The import from VB 4.2 itself ran smooth, my question is with the log files and redirection.
The initial VB4.2 import had already run and the xf_import_log already full with that import data. Then I started a new import form the Media Gallery import, which will first push everything from xf_import_log into archived_import_log, then clear out the xf_import_log and populated it with the Gallery import.
From my understanding the xf_import_log is critical to redirects from VB to XF, so ideally in our Production environment we'd want that table intact with the forum migration info, or change the config to point to archived_import_log.
But either way it seems as if we'll always have these 2 log files and thus compromise on the redirects from VB to XF. If that's the case then I should probably:
And another concern is "finishing" the import, I clicked that form the Media Gallery and now its reprocessing users, something which had already been done and it quite time consuming given the size of the forum. Can I skip the "finish import" step on the Gallery migration or somehow run it once (if we run the VB4.2 migration last)?

- run the Gallery import first - populated xf_import_log with that
- migrate the VB forum, which pushes the Gallery import info into archived_import_log and will then populate xf_import_log with forum migration redirects
