Impex Vanilla to VBull fails

**Trevor Hannant** · Thu 24 Jan '13, 4:25am

Are there any usergroups that have failed to import? How many did get imported successfully and does that match how many usergroups are in your Vanilla install?

Janderson you must be running Vanilla 2.x.x. I am having that same error when trying to import. There is no current fix for this right now.

When I do my database import I am getting : this
Valid found tables :

GDN_Category found.
GDN_Comment found.

Possibly custom tables or incorrect prefix :

Yea that is exactly what I am getting. It's because we are both running updated version of Vanilla (v 2.x.x) and the impex system only works with Vanillia 1.1.4 I believe. I looked at the code and it's beyond me. If you find out how to get this resloved PLEASE let me know.

After about 40 hours and a few misguided directions/suggestions from the vbull team we have come to the conclusion that a direct import from vanilla 2 to vbull isnt going to happen. I was told to convert my vanilla bulletin to some other supported forum type then to phpbb2 then to vbull. Kinda nuts.. VERY frustrating.

If that's the way it has to be I will do it.. If you get it all figured out what Ladder you have to climb to make it possible, please let me know so I can follow your lead. Thank you!
