TravisH: This problem has been reported, so I guess it could be a (very big) bug. hehehe Sorry for all the problems guys, I just don't have the time to test this script. I will however, find some time in the next few days and make some testing and improvements :)

WoodiE: No, there shouldn't be any problem. I think you can use the database schema from 2.2.0 to the newest version available. But remember that the vbulletin version where the script will be executed, should be 2.2.7 or newer, that's the only requirement.

Thank you for the reply. :)
I just used the script from your first post in this thread and found that it pretty much suites my needs other than it did not import calendar events, and has a few issues with polls.
This is a GREAT tool and I would like to congratulate you on your efforts and I wish you continued success with future development.

Thank You,

Travis

hello julian Thx for the hack
I have this problem its a problem with the "-"

Database error in vBulletin Merge Tool 2.2.8:

Invalid SQL: SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM date-basename_com.user
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '-basename_com.user' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

Maybe you can fix it :)

Ummm let me see what can I do :)

not the problem. i renamed the database.
all what i mean, is thats a litte bug :D

Ohhh i merge since 30min 2 forums with 180.000 User
and 400.000 Posts.

Nice to hear that :)

Anyway, I think I know why it's happening, I was too lazy to remove some obsolete code from the script... :p Thanks for reporting it though.

oh nooo

By merge Threads???!? now he give me the same thread
again and again... im now by 500000 ?!?!?

Any Ideas?

Edit:

By 6Mio. all the same thread i stop the script.....

Um... i am trying to download it... but i keep getting a corrupted zip

i noticed this too. I have set it to auto refresh and am leaving it going. Its been going for almost an hour and i have around 21000 posts copying.

When it was not set to auto copy the same thread repeating thing, all of them linked to edit pages that did not exist.

I think there is a large error of sort makes it not work, cause it seemed to be stuck in a loop of sort.

I ran into the same issues with the one thread repeating and repeating....What I did was restored both DB's back to normal and then turned magic quotes off. Once that was done I restarted the process of the merge. I successfully merged 3 sites together. Site 1:7k Users and 290k posts; Site 2: 11k Users and 410k posts; Site 3: 8300 Users and 330k posts.

All went well on the test DB's and I will be doing this on the live forums later this weekend. The only thing I wish it would do is the avatars. Try telling close to 20k users that they need to redo their avatars. I am dreading that.

Other than that it is a great Script. Thanks Julian for the help a week ago.
