In reply to: Converter for Dizkus Forums
Has it been updated recently? Last time I tried it, did an import of users fine, but at least on a large forum, it timed out. Seemed to do some of the work, but needs some form of way to handle large forums.
In reply to: Converter for Dizkus ForumsSo, it got to about 25,000 + Imported on my local host. Then it started outputing ————- in the window, and appeared to still be doing it. I checked, and only 2 posts seemed to have come in with content. There were a bunch of “”Automatically-Created Topics” in the forum tho.
In reply to: Converter for Dizkus ForumsFinally got it running on the local host. About 1/3 of the way done. The ones that stopped on me, some forums made it in, so hopefully that will be true here.
In reply to: Converter for Dizkus ForumsI’ll keep the importer low to help on that front. With that many posts, I don’t wanna deal with more dupes than necessary
In reply to: Converter for Dizkus ForumsYeah, I hope I can pull it off, because after asking him about trimming the fat in the forums, it seemed to take over where it left off a couple times when it would stall, and I restarted, with out checking the options to start fresh, etc. but the last time I tried it, it seemed to start from the start. In theory, if it hangs up and I restart, should it continue from where it stopped?
In reply to: Converter for Dizkus ForumsWell, it looks like it MAY be working, but with 35k posts in the database, it’s a bear getting it to import. I’ve given up trying to do it on the live site, will do an attempt to set up a localhost install and see if I can get that working in a few days, but some posts existed. The nature of the site, and what’s gone on with it, there’s a lot of orphaned posts 🙁 Really wish I could get the client to consider a fresh start.
In reply to: Converter for Dizkus ForumsI’ve finally gotten around to trying again. I lowered the number of rows to 15 at a time, since it seemed to choke on 100 at a time and it’s going well. at 1800 so far. Just looked at the database, this is gonna take awhile.. 35k entries in the DB. I may talk to the client and suggest a fresh start to the forums, since the last post int he forums was 2 years ago last monday. :/ makes me wonder why he doesn’t want to do a major overhaul on the site, since I’m offering it for free, since he’s my last Zikula client, and he’s been with me for years. Shouldn’t be TOO hard to build a new site in WordPress and start fresh..
In reply to: Converter for Dizkus ForumsIt’s been a while since I tried it, I’ll have to re-attempt it in a couple of days when I have an opportunity to try it again. As I recall, it imported the users fine, and then it looked like it was doing the posts, but after, I want to say about 150 posts, it froze there, never indicated further imports. When I checked the database tables, it didn’t appear that it actually brought the content from Dizkus over to bbPress at all.
As to the localhost problem, I mirrored the Zikula site to my local WIn 10 machine, and then tried to import on a local WP/bbP site and it didn’t do anything. Seems like it just couldn’t find data.
In reply to: Converter for Dizkus ForumsGuessing no headway on this 🙁 I don’t know enough about bbPress or really Dizkus to dig in to it and try to solve the issues.. Bummer, because i really want to get this client off Zikula.
In reply to: Converter for Dizkus ForumsI had the same localhost site problem you did, and when I tried on a live, it seemed to time out.
In reply to: Converter for Dizkus ForumsTHANK YOU FOR THIS! 🙂 An older dizkus forum was the one dread I had on moving a client over to WP from Zikula.
