Hi,

Thanks very much for developing this hack.

I have downloaded the beta but have had some problems. After I click "start merge", it says database initialised for import and then when I click associate users it gives me the following error:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.9:

Invalid SQL: SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM soccerpages.user
mysql error: select command denied to user: 'tucklis6@server84l.xtreme-support.com' for table 'user'

mysql error number: 1142

Does this mean it hasn't worked? My forum now seems to read 0 posts and threads :( What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your time,
Kerry

Give me some time, it's a bug and I'll fix it probably today :)

Hi,

I think I may have uploaded the old version - that's maybe why I got that error. I have now uploaded the latest beta and changed the global $vbdbhostname,$vbdbusername,$vbdbpassword,$vbdbnam e; fields to match the database I'm importing from. But now I have a new one!

I think this maybe because the two databases that I want to merge are both on different ips to my webspace? Do I have to include the database ip / password for both databses? Where do I edit this?

One other thing (sorry for all these questions!!), should I make all the forums names match so they merge properly?

Thanks alot,
Kerry

Hi Kerry. Please give me some time and let me come out with a solution to this problem. :) I'm busy with some tests on school right now.

About the forums, no... The forums are not "merged" but it's easy to move all the post from one forum to another using the tools you found on the admin cp.

OK, Thanks very much!

Any more news? Sorry to be a pest but I really need this script to work!!! I think it mat just be a small alteration that is needed...

Im running vb 2.2.9.. an i get this error... I uploaded the new BBIMPORT.php but as soon as i click associate users i get the DB error.

I have edited the following fields in the import script:

<?php
// vBulletin Merge Tool for v2.2.x
error_reporting(7);
require ("./../admin/bbimport.php");

function makehiddenfields() {
global $vbdbhostname,$vbdbusername,$vbdbpassword,$vbdbnam e;
makehiddencode("DBIPADDRESS",$vbdbhostname);
makehiddencode("DBUSERNAME",$vbdbusername);
makehiddencode("DBPASSWORD",$vbdbpassword);
makehiddencode("DBNAME", $vbdbname);

Are these variables supposed to be for the database I'm trying to import or the database I'm importing the records into?

Cheers,
Kerry

Ok, download this file again:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...&postid=359490

Make sure you get the NEW version. The new file (uncompressed) is about 41KB, so make sure you get the new version and not a version from your local cache. If the new file is not about 41KB, clear your browser cache.

Thank you very much for updating the hack. But I still have problems. When I click "start merge" it says "Database initialised for import."

When I click on step 2 it says "Database not selected! Warning! Restart application! (I always wanted to say that!) :)".

I think it may be to do with settings I have changes - please take a look as I was unsure what I should change here:

I also changed the link_id to 1. Are these settings correct? Why am I getting this error :(

Thanks Julian,

I appreciate any help you can provide!

Regs,
Kerry
