Forum order/children problem

[ethank]

Is anyone able to duplicate this? I'm kind of waiting on fixing this bug before I do an update from a 3.0.3 board to a 3.5.1 board.

I'd rather do an upgrade, but I'm trying to start clean,...

Another quote related bug: Forum titles seemed to get imported with the slashes still in the entry in the database. See attached image. I had to go in manually and remove it....

It's kind of annoying though. Could it be from having some forums with display order 0 (hidden)?

What I meant to say is that the error in Attachments happened at this code section...

                $Db_object->query("
                    INSERT INTO " . $tableprefix . "attachment

Same error number and cause, I didn't copy it, just fixed it and let it run.

Like I said, I was first at the User Import stage and then at the Attachment Import stage, importing from VB 3.0.3.

[ethank]

It happened during user import and again during attachment import.

The problem was caused by SQL errors from having single quotes (') in the filename or a field in the user table.

I'm importing from 3.0.3 to 3.5.1 (vb) and it seems to work (after I fix the single quote problem), but I'm having my forums import in all the wrong order, with all the wrong parent/child relationships....

I'm seeing this problem as well. All polls fail without an error message importing from 3.0.x to a 3.5.1 forum.

Has anyone figured out how to get this working?

Changes that needed to be made:

$email_match = $Db_object->query_first("SELECT userid FROM " . $tableprefix . "user WHERE email=\"". $this->get_value('mandatory',...

[ethank]

I'm doing some test imports and I just got this message:

ImpEx Database errormysql error: Invalid SQL: SELECT userid FROM vb_user WHERE email='scott.o'[email protected]'

It is quite strange that individuals can hit so many boards at once. I wonder if its some sort of thing like a telemarketing company, where its one company managing hundreds of "work from home from...

We had a bunch of .biz registrations this morning from a spammer. I just banned that domain from registering, which seems to have abated it for a bit.

What is with the amount of board spammers...

mysqlhotcopy is a better option than mysqldump. less chance of corruption, plus it locks the tables.

I have a 4.1 gb database, and mysqlhotcopy takes about 4 minutes to run.

I can see why people would do it, since sometimes you don't want to be tied to one companies notion of a "good" web development platform. Sometimes you just want content stored and accessed...

For perspective, I pay 1800 a month for a two bedroom condo I live in with my wife up in Santa Barbara, CA. Considering our place is HUGE (1300 sq feet), and nice with vaulted ceilings, its a good deal....

Yes, CMS questions are very popular, but I do have a serious question.

We want a CMS that does not provide the front end for the website. Just one that maintains content in a database,...

This is an issue in both Safari and Firefox. Both latest versions. I haven't tried since disabling GZIP though, which might have caused teh flush() statements not to work.

I'm on a Mac, so there is no IE installed.

With mass e-mailing, the mail is going out, but the page never seems to come up showing the accounts that were mailed to with the button to go to the next page.

It used to come up interactively...
