Importing from SMF 1.0.x - User ID's?

[calash]

This is probably a silly question, but I want to make sure I have everything set before I begin my upgrade. I know passwords will be lost, and I have prepared my visitors for that, but will the user ID numbers be the same after the import?

I am linking my forum to eFiction based on the user ID. If these change during the import it will break the bridge.


Thanks :)

The userid will change, the old id's will be stored as importuserid

So :

If (user has importuserid)
{
use the importuserid;
}
else
{
use the normal userid;
}

then you'll keep the bridge.

Eeep...dats not good....

Guess I will see how bad it is when I run my test import.....

Thanks for the answer :)

Edit - Yeah...this is gonna take some cleanup :( I could edit the bridge like you said, but as new people join it will create conflicts until the user number gets past the highest import ID.

However, using the import ID I should be able to change the eFiction ID's around to match up...and hopefully get everything in sync with the new ID's (eFiction is what I am bridging to).

Thanks again :)
