Upgraden from IPB 1.3.1 Final to vB 3.6.8

[Keiko]

Hello,

i'm not sure if this is a bug or my fault. I already wrote a "bug report" http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...?issueid=24525

Problem:
i need to update a old "Invision Power Board(U) v1.3.1 Final" Forum to a vB 3.6.8 one.

I edited the Impex-Config and after loading Impex i only see the following errormessage:

Warning: require_once(/var/www2/forum/impex/systems/ipb/013.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /impex/index.php on line 413

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/var/www2/forum/impex/systems/ipb/013.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www2/forum/impex/index.php on line 413

Problem: there is no 013.php in the directory and i don't know why.

btw, whatever i wrote in the $impexconfig['source']['tableprefix'] variable, i always see the same errormessage.


Thank you.

Though there is a impex/systems/ipb/013.php in the impex download that should be in that folder, or is the file not in your impex download ?

I downloaded Impex twice, there is no 013.php in the directory:

I double-checked this in Impex 1.87. There is no ipb/013.php.

[Jerry]

Ah yes ......... I have a 013.php

Though you shouldn't

Is there an old session or an old import that has been run before ?

If so I'd finalise that one by deleting the impex session and removing import id's then import this new board.

If this is a clean import, contact me via the support system in the members area.

Not really, i just tried to load Impex and then i see the error message...

If so I'd finalise that one by deleting the impex session and removing import id's then import this new board.

I only see a "impexerror" table with 0 records.

If this is a clean import, contact me via the support system in the members area.

There are some entries in the Target Database atm. That's a problem?

Thanks

[Jerry]

Browse to <site>/impex/help.php

then just delete the session (and not the data).

Then try browsing to the import page again.

Though I suggest opening a support ticket and asking for me as there should be no record of 013.php in the current build .

[Keiko]

Thx. Worked now. Think the problem was an old session. But i thought i never used Impex before =)

Import worked without a problem, all users, postings and forums are there.

But there is no link between the postings and users.

I only see:

Username

Posts: n/a

In the "Threads-View" the username-link works without a problem.


The destination forum was not empty. And there could be users with the same username....is this a problem?


Thank you

[Jerry]

If there are the same username when the users and imported impex will add "imported_" to the front of their name, are there any of them ?

Yeah.

Here the test forum after the import:
http://www.forenwelten.com/melissa-f...port-f112.html

I did not start any "Update Counters" task atm.

http://www.forenwelten.com/mjh-t1313.html

Both users are inserted. But not "linked". I can click on the username in the Threads view.

Or:

http://www.forenwelten.com/0301-allgemeines-f103.html

Thread started by "imported_Salem", but after opening the Thread, there is a different user linked with ne first post.

Thank you

[Jerry]

Sounds like the uesrs weren't merged during the import then, you can do it via the admincp.

[Keiko]

Yeah, because the email adress is different. But there is still no real "link" between the imported users and the postings. Only the name (not clickable) and a "n/a" info like on unregistered members. But the users are there....

[Keiko]

I tested a little bit with a test version of the forum. But always the same problem. Postings/forums/users are imported, but no "link" between the postings and the users. It's like impex just imported the postings without changing/updating the userid. The links in the thread-view are working, but after i update the counters the links are gone (like in the posting view).

[Jerry]

You'll have to start a support ticket and ask for me.
