UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Classic to Threads import

Has anyone done an import yet?

What exactly does Part 3 stand for in for instance this: Preparing data to be imported data into live database. Currently working on w3t_Posts, row # 2840, part 3. ?

What's the difference between part 2 and 3, and does part 3 have to go through the same number of rows as part 2?

?? I've done the import a few hundred times It sounds like maybe it's working on a large thread/topic broken up into parts.

Hi Allen,

The board is definitely quite large, even though I've already pruned some 200,000-250,000 posts. Everything is going fine though, and the importer is now bringing over everything smoothly.

BTW, any update on the templates which could resemble Classic/Open Topic/Eve closer?

The next generation product will have UBB.classic's look, with the elements of Threads.

Yeah, will be nice to see how the two will be combined to form a universal product. Good choice given that Classic becomes almost impossible for the server to handle after it grows a bit..

OK, say you make an import but a handful of users are missing in Threads (haven't been moved over by the import module). What's the quickest way to check which ones the importer has skipped over?

depends on ammount of users but you can write up a sql that compares the old database to the new database providing ya have a copy of the old database?

The old board is actually a Classic one, so no database. Is it still possible to look this up somehow without having to go through the entire list one by one?

well if you can write a script that say grabs the first user of the first board and searches the second board for it and if found goes to second on first if not prints it out then continues... sounds harder than it is...
