Importers (requests & poll)

[Jerry]

Off on holiday for a few weeks, will have a go at it when I get back.

[Yves R.]

Is that a standard ? What version are you using ?

If you mean SMF, its done for that importer.

In a test of importation from YaBB SE 1.5.5 into vB3, i had a table named 'smilies' and didn't know it was not created by default with the YaBBSE installer

Sorry for my bad request...

vb3 imp: only db necessary or phps included?

Could someone say me if I need only the database for importing or also all the other files?

Thanks & regards,
may

I'm getting quite desperate for this converter, if you need test data, thats not a problem.

I bought VB so I could get rid of Yabb please help

Just finishing it off at the moment.

The focus of the importer dev is on bug fixing the current importers and ImpEx (missing functionality) before releasing anymore.

There are 23 in total now with the ones still in dev, and 2 unofficial ones I know about.

Glad to see you back, Jerry. You were gone for about 5 weeks, so I was begenning to wonder if you were ever coming back. I am anxios for the vB 2 importer to be officially released, as I understand there are some bugs, and my client is not interested in upgrading until it's final.

The upgrade scripts are released and separate from the importer.

The vB2->vB3 importer is for special cases.

I am well aware of the differences between a import and an upgrade. But I think you need to give the customer what they want. Let them decide which route they want to take to use new software. There are some circumstances where an upgrade is just not possible. Such is the case with very large forums, with databases in the 50 gigabyte range.

Its a mute point seeing as both are avaiable anyway and have been for a while. As far as I'm aware there arn't any vB2 bugs, not that are reported in the bug tracker anyway.

And seeing as that is the case, I've added vB2 to the offical importers status thread.

[Jerry]

1.22 released.

YaBB - Gold. Released, though still being tested.

vB2. No reported bugs atm, released.

[Joshua Clinard]

There were a few people that had problems with the importer in the importer discussion forum. Did those get sorted?
