    Well that was easy, hooray for OO and clear design....

    Adding _auto_userid_associate to all the (users modules of) systems where you can import from 3rd party apps/hacks/products to official vBulletin products, vBBlog at the moment though can use it in future for other products.

    If merge on email and userid is selected, though it's advised against userid takes preference and email is ignored.

    Testing now.

      have sorted the dupe user issue, though curious as to why I didn't get the duplicate key issue here. Reeve of Shinra the merge on userid is in there (1.85) too and I'm testing it at the moment

          Jerry,

          Running the import text module, I get 164 succeeded and 10484 failed. If I recall correctly - when I ran this under the old version, I didn't get any failed messages although some records were skipped because they didn't contain data (saw a few of those as well).

          I'm not sure what this could be from or why the sudden change?

          I'm running the last module now. Hopefully this will go well.

          Incidentally where is the option to link via userid? I did not see it.

            The link to use via userid is on step 3 where you choose e-mail associate.

              What was the error given ? Invalid X ?

                I tried to import again and it seemed to be more successful... some errors like below... but then being the genius I am, I tried it a third time and its almost all failed lines with now error msg or code listed.

                  For the moment you can comment out these lines :

                  impex/systems/vBlogatin/005.php 149
                  impex/systems/vBlogatin/006.php 116

                  PHP Code:
                  $blog->set_value('mandatory''title',    $data['title']); 
                  The default must be being overwritten by a blank.

                      Hi Jerry,

                      I seem to be plagued with issues trying to import vb journal entries and comments into the vb blog add-on...

                      It finally got to the point where I uninstalled and reinstalled the vb-blog. After that I was able to get the majority of the entries and comments (I think) transferred but the system still isn't associating the posts to the correct users.

                      Module Action Successful Failed Time taken
                      1 Check and update database 1 0 1 sec(s)

                      edit: On Module 3, I tried importing users by email and by userid.

                          I am having exactly the same problem. When I look at the blog_text, userid and bloguserid columns are all blank.

                            If you are using Impex 1.85 or higher and are having problems with the import, fill out a support ticket at:



                            Please include a complete description of the problem and be sure to include the login info to your Admin CP, phpMyAdmin and FTP in the 'Sensitive Data' field.

                              .
                              This is why the first thing you do before doing any import is take a back up of the target database.

                                I take full responsibility but in fairness, I backed up the database when I first tried importing -- I never expected four full days of problems with IMPEX not working. And for that matter, the importer should never have deleted the EXISTING users.

                                Are the issues with the vbjournal to vb-blog importer completely fixed at this point? If it is, I will try one more time on a backuped copy of the forum.
