Dates issue [phpbb3.0.0 to vB 4.1.2]

[barroca]

Hello

I'm a newbbie with IMPEX - and my appologies with my newbbie questions.

1. I read in another thread, Zachery said:

The join date will be an issue, but the others will fix themselfs naturally.

I'm in trouble with this dates - a several post with 1969! dates - and don't appears in topics.
I need do something? Redo Module of import posts?
How long must I wait to date issues appears correctly?

2. cleanner.php
I need use this file only if ...

ImpEx parses out as much HTML and incorrect BB code as it can find, though there can sometimes be unexpected HTML or codes in the posts.

In my case the phpbb forum don't use HTML . Cleanner helps in other cases?

Thanks in advance

1. Did you update the various counters via AdminCP > Maintenance > Update Counters after completin the import?

2. Do you have anything in posts which is not displaying correctly because of HTML tags or BBCode not being parsed?

Hello Trevor,
Answering your questions:

1. I update a lot of times ... and problem persists
2. I don't have any bbcode or html issue

thank you

You can see the issue

Forum with post/thread with old date




If we click in 'go to last post' we don't see nothing:

Anybody???

* yesterday I cleanup the database and import all modules again - the problem persists [several post don't appears because his date is tooooo old 1969
** I update counters again. In this step when I rebuild post cache the system begin a loop process

[Steve Machol]

If some posts are not importing, then the issue is the data in those posts. There is no workaround for that.

I don't understand the second question.

Hi Steve
Thank you, first

1. OK - maybe a lot of post are not imported. And I don't know why ...
2. My second question is about cleanner.php - The script cleaner is for what? Its use is for html cases in the original forum ?

all the best

Cleaner.php is used to change a specific set of characters in posts from one thing to another.

Thank you Steve.

Cleaner.php is used to change a specific set of characters in posts from one thing to another.

In fact the missed posts [and import fail ] persists:
I re-start Import Posts Module and a lot of posts failed [see in attach]




And when I use database cleanup a lot of posts remaining.

Maybe it's better begin from scratch ...

Unfortunately those pics are too small for me to read.

[barroca]

again and again

Hello Steve,
*my screens is better now

Yesterday I delete my database, and begin from scratch and ... importing post fails again.
In the middle of process begins the error


Final import


** I already use database cleannup and restart and errors persists

oh god

*** I found this thread with a similiar issue
Unfortunately without public solution

Those are failing because the threadid info is not valid. This is either due to a modificatino you added too phpBB, or your version of phpBB is not compatible with Impex.

Did you install any modifications? If not, I suggest upgrading your phpBB and trying again.

[Zachery]

They could also be failing because they're not real entries (they've been deleted in phpbb). Or they did not have all of the available data required to import.

The old admins tell me : zero modifications and phpbb is 3.0.0
Impex only imports 3.0.3 ?

[Steve Machol]

Yes, the next step is to upgrade phpBB.
