Phorum import fails

[hæhre]

I have a Phorum 5.0.16 installation I want converted to vb 3.6.

This is a clean install, i get to 006.php (posts import) then I only get error messages like:

"invalid post object, skipping.userid"

I've also seen some:

"Found avatar post and DID NOT imported to the mysql database"-messages.

The source board has been open to guest posting and I want to do the same with vb.

I got 1 (the first) post converted one time, but only errors after that.

All the other scripts has run fine.

Did you allow guest posting on your Phorum ?

Just an update on this as I gave it some more tries and might give some more clues.

Just running the Phorum5 importer gives the "invalid post object, skipping.userid" messages on all posts and imports nothing.

I tried changing the line:

$try->set_value('mandatory', 'userid', $user_ids_array["$post_details[userid]"]);

in phorum5/006.php into:

if ($user_ids_array["$post_details[userid]"])
{
$try->set_value('mandatory', 'userid',$user_ids_array["$post_details[userid]"]);
}
else
{
$try->set_value('mandatory', 'userid',"0");
}

With that I get the "Found avatar post and DID NOT imported to the mysql database" messages on all but the very first post which imports well.

yes, my phorum has been running with guest posting, and optional accounts if people register.

anyone?

I have updated ImpEx, download and overwrite :

/impex/systems/phorum5/006.php

Thanks Jerry, but I'm still butting my head against the wall after downloading the new impex. :(

What is happening now is the same as before (after I added the userid part from the post above). I get the "Found post and DID NOT imported to the mysql database"-message on all posts except the very first post which imports successfully.

Then there is an issue with the id's being used for importpostid's.

set dupe_checking to false in ImpExConfig.



define('dupe_checking', false);

That was it, thanks a bunch :)
