Sorry if I didn't understand your reply correctly.

Does that mean that the script allows you to select which of those things (Users, forums, threads, posts, polls and attachments) to import, or do we "have-to" merge all of them?

Basically what our forum users want is *only* to merge members from the second forum.

Please could you tell me if the script supports that.

Thanks again :)

Yeah.... Basically, the script will merge everything, but it won't let you choose what to merge...

PM me and I will made a custom version for you, that only merge users (with PMs, right?).

It's something really easy to do... you just have to comment the rest of the merge process, like forums, threads, posts and attachments, and finally, do the DB clean process.

could you possiblt throw that in your next release by anychance?

Well... You want it too? Let me see what can I do :)

sure would be nice, also hey what about like when merging an old forum to a new forum, specifying a forum location for the old forum to be merge. Like I noticed on the hack, it puts the merge forums on the forum, but it makes everything all out of order then you have to like rearrange your forums back in order, hope can kinda understand what im trying to say, lol ... got to many things going at one time at the moment

Hi, I just added a piece of code to skip the forum merging... That means, you can now use the merger, only for the users, and not the forums, threads, posts and attachments.
Check the first post.


About your second request, well... It is possible, but it would require some modifications to the script, and I don't have enough time right now to do it... sorry :( ... anyway, it's not too difficult to re arrange the forums and re apply some permissions :)

did you update the zip file in the first post? If so I havent received my hack update email yet.


Yeah it aint difficult at all, but when you have database A has bout oh lets say 100 forums and needs to be merged with database b that has about 120, that can get very time consuming moving 100 forums around if you get the point, lol anyways it was jus a suggestion, you've done good so far, keep up the good work

Oh, yes... I updated the ZIP in the 1st post, but I didn't send an update to the hack. :)

do BOTH have to be 2.2.x or just the forum you are running the script from (importing to)

Yeah, only the forum where you're running the script. As long as the original database structure is fine, the script should run without any problem.

Let me know if you have any problem.
