View Full Version : [RELEASE] vBulletin Thread/Post Import Utility


10-11-2000, 01:57 PM
I just released my *first* hack, hopefully the first of many more to come, over on http://www.vbulletin.org.

A little background, I had about 30,000 emails archived from an email list that I wanted to import into my forums. So I wrote this hack to accomodate that need. The import processing script for all of the posts took only a minute.

To read more about the hack, or to download it, just jump over to this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.rus/showthread.php?threadid=61

Enjoy!

Yes this kept me pretty busy yesterday! But this was the first PHP code I've written and it's much easier to pick up and use then Perl was :) The only problem I had was with "escaping" from the MySQL queries to call the PHP AddSlashes function for the text fields... but Mike was kind enough to help me out with that.
