Bulk import from propietary forum system
Hi all,
We have been having a look at the Impex import tool but it seems to be designed to import data from other commercial forum implementations. We are facing the need of migrating a propietary forum system into vbulletin. We were able to migrate users but doing so with threads and topics is what needs to be done now. We are open to using any API out there that lets us export our current topics and threads into vbulletin. I mean, using some tool that imports messages from text files with a predefined format or even something such a set of php fiels that we can install onto vbulletin and let us launch a bunch of HTTP requests to perform the insertion of the topics and threads we have. As it is something that will have to be done once we are looking for any solution you know out there. The best approach we have got unil now is the use of the Discussware file importer, but we would need an example of the posts and users file that this importer needs. The docs we have consulted are a bit vague about the file format. An example of those files would be really helpful as we cannot generate them with the free version of Discussware we have downloaded. THANKS! |
