Failure importing from IPB 3.3.4 to vB 4.2.0

Would be perfect. Doesnt exist though ...

Complete fail trying to import this - after eventually doing the "impex edit" shown elsewhere below (removing pp.notes call), this fails most of my topic and threads imports with Invalid, skipping....

[Toibs]

Great - looks like I could be in for a long night!!.... thanks for the advice chaps. I'll go for an import via IPB first since i know what the results are on a direct import, and then make the call from...

[Toibs]

Thanks soniceffect

could i ask what issues you had? (just so i know whats potentially on the horizon!!!!)...

Also - did all the inline thread images come out ok?

...

[Toibs]

Trevor,

Yes - Whilst it imported the content, none of the inline images worked (there are also others with the same problems). Heard from others that going via the IPB route fixes the problems.......

Hi guys,

Looking to leave Xenforo due to the lack of info/updates. Shame, however needs must.

So - Have imported direct from xF to vB, and whilst most things are ok, there's...

Aakif,

Many thanks. Strange thing is that i tried as you said, and then the video icon appeared, and when i went back to the skin that i was using, it was then there.... Very strange....

[Toibs]

Wayne,

core_path?

The line from my config is as follows....

$config['Misc']['forumpath'] = '/var/sites/p/p**********.com/public_html/vb5/core';

Which...

Please could someone tell me - Why might the "filmstrip Editor" button not appear in 4.2? Apparently this is used to embed videos, but i cant see it in any of my editor windows (even when set...

[Toibs]

Sorry - Off Topic....

Wayne,

Where is the filmstrip Editor button in Vb4.2? I have checked and cant find mine at all..

Tried a fresh install of Beta11 today - all seemed to install ok, however after install i get the following...

Fatal error: Class 'vB5_Config' not found in /var/sites/p/p*******.com/public_html/vb5/includes/vb5/applicationabstract.php...

I know Impex used to work with xF on 3.x however not sure on the newer versions....

[Toibs]

Just wondered if impex works direct into vB5, or is it the vB4 and upgrade route thats only available??

Cheers

[Toibs]

Hi Guys,

Any news on an ETA for the fix for this? My old licences, despite the fact they do appear in the members page (3.x), are still unable to be upgraded due to "none of my licences...

[Toibs]

oops - just submitted a ticket on this, since it didnt recognise any of my licences.... and just came up with "no valid licences" (upgrading from 3.x)....

[Toibs]

Zach,

I'm currently running 3.8.5, since thats the latest version I can use without upgrading apparently... Does this still apply?

(sorry to be a pain)

Paul

[Toibs]

Ok Zachery Many thanks

One last question if i may. If i wanted to upgrade from vb 3.8 direct to Vb 5 when released - would that be possible?

Thanks
