Hello,

i want to import my WBB4 board to bbPress an with a custom importer.
The “basic” importer is from inspirationally and i wanted to translate it to WBB4
Now i have a error on line 311 and 312…
(but i think there will be more 😀 )

I really hope that someone understands my problem and could help.

@sammmmy

Can you extract some sample data for me from your database so I can get this working for you?

Ideally if you made a copy of the forum, topic, reply, and user tables with just a few rows of data left in each table? (Of course without any sensitive data by editing or removing it of course)

More specifically, the forum table would have one or two forums, the topics table would have a couple of topics that have a parentID of one of the forums you include, and then a couple of replies that have parentID’s of topic or topics you’ve included.

[@sammmmy Participant 9 years, 4 months ago]

sorry i can not post the links to my files.
the posts are not displayed…

[@sammmmy Participant 9 years, 4 months ago]

Here is some sample data from my database.
Is that all you need?

wbb1_board.pdf

wbb1_post

wbb1_thread.pdf

[@netweb Keymaster 9 years, 4 months ago]

@sammmmy Fixed, the posts were caught by Akismet for having more than 2 links, I’ve fixed one and removed the other duplicates.

This is excellent, I’ll take a look later, a couple of things if you could clarify please:

In the posts table, subject is the topic title?
In the posts table, message is either the topic or the reply content?
In the threads table, topic, what is this? Is this also the topic title? And if it is also the topic title does this match the subject field from the posts table exactly?

[@sammmmy Participant 9 years, 4 months ago]

In the posts table, subject is a seperately post title and totally unnecessary…
In the posts table, message is the reply content.
In the threads table, topic Is this is the thread title.

That’s a little messed up…

[@sammmmy Participant 9 years, 4 months ago]

how is it going?
can i do more then that?

[@robkk Moderator 9 years, 4 months ago]

@sammmmy

You can always try hire a developer to do the import for you. It has been 3 months since you first made the topic, and the team has been very busy squashing bugs lately.

[@sammmmy Participant 9 years, 3 months ago]

To hire a developer was harder than i thought…

I have to wait until someone can help me and I hope this helps all others who want to change.
