IPB 2.1.1 > VB3.5 ready yet?

[Beaver]

I:ve just purchased an owned vb license and am doing some tests with the current impex tool from IPB2.1.1 > 3.5, and have hit some issues.

Any idea when a fully IPB2.1.1 compatible importer will be ready as I;m dying to move my community to vb. :D

[Jerry]

What issues are you having ? I've just done a few 2.1.1 imports and all I can see is the emoticons links, that cleaner.php can cure.

[Beaver]

I'll post up a full list this evening when I get home from work.

But off the top of my head right now...

1. forum & sub-forums import broken

I have a main category called - Games - with 5 forums below it.

The 5th forum has 5 sub-forums.

When importing the forums - the forum structure wasnt kept and all the sub-forums are missing.

Before: http://www.tugteam.com/forum/index.php?showforum=46

After: http://www.tugteam.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4

As you can see - the BF2 & WOW main forums have ended up as sub-forums of the CSS forum and the sub-forums that should exist in 'Other Games' are just missing.

Thanks.

Ian.

The test database I have dosn't have sub forums in it, if you can give me a copy of yours I can use that to update the importer. PM me if that is an option.

[Beaver]

Sent you a PM.

How's the testing going Jerry with my db?

[Aurous]

I am having a similar problem with subforums. They dont get imported at all.

[Aurous]

PMed u with test db 4 days back but still no response.

[Beaver]

Jerry still working on it, I sent him an updated db dump a couple of days ago myself.

Fingers crossed it'll be soon.

I'll re-dl impex and give it a try tomorrow. Thanks.

btw - how do I kill my current vb install so I can do a fresh import?

Everything seems to be importing fine, the sub-forums all look like they are supposed to. :D

Just need to use the cleaner.php I guess to fix a few things.

Thanks Jerry.

I'm having a little issue with cleaner & trying to get the quote's sorted out.


<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Alternate @ Oct 26 2005, 08:19 PM) Quoted post (http://www.tugteam.com/forums/showthread.php?p=24001#post24001)</div><div class='quotemain'>
Sweet, will do that for you now

Cant seem to find the right replacement for the <div class='quotetop'> & the </div><div class='quotemain'> to bring it back to vbulletin quote method.

Help a noob out please.

Yeah I've already read it thanks, but its not very helpful.

I;ve already cleaned a few things like [img] tags & smiles ok, but the quotes are proving a little troublesome.

[Jerry]

In cleaner.php on line 95 you should see :



#$text = preg_replace('##siU', '', $text);


replace it with :



$text = preg_replace('#<div class=\'quotetop(.*)<div class=\'quotemain\'>#siU', '[quote]', $text);

$text = preg_replace('#<div class=\'quotetop(.*)<div class=\'quotemain\'>#siU', '[quote]', $text);

Thanks, that worked a treat. :)

I ended up with a spare [/b] tag inside the quoted text after running that, I should now just add a line to cleaner.php to replace the [/b] with "" (nothing) ?

Nope, as that will remove every bold closing tag.

If it is always with the quote tag I would :



"[/b][/quote]" => "[/quote]"

ah yes, doh! Thanks.
