Importing User Photos from Other CMS
I'm considering converting a very large site that was built many years ago with some duct tape tying phpBB2, PostNuke, and a bunch of PN modules together. I really think VB4 publisher suite can do the trick but there are going to be some major migration issues. One that has come to mind is that the current system uses something called picman to deal with user albums (and profile pics). It basically creates a db entry with the user_id and the location it stored the file.
The naming scheme is pretty basic. It's something along the lines of /albums/bi/billrini/default.jpg.
How do I get this into VB? I'm assuming that I'm going to have to write some sort of custom script that updates the VB db tables and then moves the files into the VB filesystem structure. Plus I will need to create profile entries and album entries and create a default album for each user.
Is there anywhere where this part of what VB does is documented well enough that I can save myself a few hours going the trial and error route?
