Importing Hacks

[MorrisMcD]

I searched, but couldnt find anything on this.. But how do I move hacks over.. For example.. I went from 3.0.7 to 3.5 and imported everything, but obviously there isnt a built in IMPEX module that moved the tables over for hacks... I know this is a case by case basis really.. So I will just say I would like to do it with a few things I can think of off the top of my head.

Arcade, VBookie, UCash, and Shoutbox

I figure its just a matter of moving data from one database to another and that it may be referenced differently on the new board than the new...

If anyone can offer any advice or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated

My suggestion: Forget the data and start over.

Doing otherwise is a complicated job, and you will need to know exactly what you are doing.

If all else fails, then I guess I will or just set the values manually on the new one.. It cant really be that complicated? Can it?

I understand how a database works.. I just dont know where to move the data from one place to another or with whatever tool.. /shrug phpMyAdmin?

I am hopeful but if that is what most people do, I guess I will have to deal with it

Schemas change, that's the biggest issue.
Otherwise, if the schemas are the same, all you need to do are some queries - but which ones I can't tell as this depends on you system, eg. you must know which queries you need - that's why I say it's complicated.
