(I'm going to speak out of my experience with importing from phpBB3)
Few reasons why I'm write this:
I always forget to do those things... & how to do it...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The story:
I just did a new test part, and saw that after the import, only stickies were showing... I redid a few modules time after time, and still the same... Even reinstalled vB... but still the same... Then re-researched the impex documentation, couldn't found anything... then searched this forum... And finally saw something...
but thought by myself... Am I going to need to do that for each forum??? there must be an easier way to do that....
That remembered me to the following:
So to make it that each forum shows all threads, you can execute a queries that makes that happen...
Automatic Query: "Show All Threads"
But still, it wouldn't worked... and redid those queries a few times... And thought, how the hell doesn't it work???
Re-read that post and saw:
So that's it for the story... (later about attachments...)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step-by-step part (how I (will) do it):
After importing
Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query -> Automatic Query: "Show All Threads" (this will make that each forum shows all threads (instead of only threads from last month))
Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query -> Manual Query:
Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query -> Manual Query:
And NOT to forget!!!:
Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters
("Rebuild Thread Information" & "Rebuild Forum Information") (thats what I personally do...)
