Pogo, sent you an email last night. Waiting for a reply :)

Got this script work ( sorta ). Had to change my admin user to a different usergroup and then it went through. There are 2 "Administrator" groups now, and only one is valid. There is a ID 6 and an ID 9. I assume ID 6 is the original vB Administrator Group ID. This is the one that isn't valid.

I don't see that this script takes care of the userbase correctly. A lot of my Invision registered users are marked as unregistered in vB, and most of the unregistered users in Invision are now members in vB.

All my posts came over correctly though. So that is cool. But I can't have a database that is this messed up. I don't think vB3 will be very nice when it comes time to upgrade and the database isn't in the format it expects/wants.

Haven't even gotten to the point where I can check permissions, because all the users are screwed up. So I have no info about that at this point.

Am I doing something wrong? I know Pogo says he's done it a bunch of times, and others say they have as well. Are you guys having these same issues?

I am using Invision 1.1.2 which has the same database structure as 1.1 ( only different is security issues in the code ) and vBulletin 2.2.9.

Thanks

I did a test run of the importer on my DB last night and it went very smoothly. I think I saw a couple of registered users get dumped into the COPPA member group during import but that's something I could easily fix manually.

Is there anyway you could also send me a copy? My address is david@crowfield99.co.uk and will test it out too.

Many thanks,

Does anyone know the current status with this hack?

When was the last time it was sent out?

I suppose a couple of preliminary questions before I get the script...maybe someone can help answer these.

My Invision board is located at www.loudrant.com/forum

Do I have to install the vB board at a different url such as www.loudrant.com/forums ?

Because I do need to install vB first, correct? And if they are at the same address that would present a problem, yes?


Thanks for any help...just trying to become familiar with all of this.

It's been posted in the hack DB.

How you migrate is entirely up to you. You're probably best off moving your forums to a new folder and forwarding users to your new ones. Otherwise you'd loose any search engine placement and bookmarks for your current board.

The importer is about as solid an importer as I've come across, it had no problem with my board (1200 members | 100,000 posts) so yours should be no prob.

I suppose you mean this : Ya, I was just trying to find out if the author was keeping up with this so I was curious when the last time it was sent out...thanks though.

Doh! Sorry, I didn't notice the DL link didn't contain a file.
