#211411 - 05/08/08 10:59 AM Import from Classic to threads
Morgan journeyman Registered: 06/13/06 Posts: 72	Hi, It was a long time that I worked on installing/importing etc. I still run ubb classic 6.7.3 and want to freeze that forum and import to Threads 7.3 wich I installed as far as I did not create an admin as I will import. I did put Place the classic_import.php script into the importers directory and bring it up in your browser. Follow the instructions to import your classic forum. However after creating the sql tables it stopped, am I missing something. Am I supposed to export the classic forum and move the file into threads. It is just blank so please enlighten me. Classic http://forum.britbike.com/ubb/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi Threads http://www.britbike.com/forums/ubbthreads.php Would appreciate very much if any of you could list the steps. Thanks

Quick fix for now, edit the classic_import.php file and on line 47, you'll see this: require_once( "../libs/mysql.inc.php" ); Right after that, add this: require_once("../libs/html.inc.php"); require_once("../libs/bbcode.inc.php"); _________________________ UBB.threads™ Developer My Personal Website · StogieSmokers.com

Morgan journeyman Registered: 06/13/06 Posts: 72	Hey Rick, It imported 6000 members and the 10 categories then on next page it reads Importing forum: "BSA Bulletin Board" wich is my first board but ut get stuck there and finally I hit the go back button but what only happen is that it craates double categories and a new "BSA Bulletin Board". Well I have emptied both in the dabase and double clicked back so it created a new set of categories and a new BSA Bulletin board and now it's stuck again. Did you follow this? I'm swedish so if my English is bad that is why. Any clue? Edited by Morgan (05/09/08 05:04 AM)

Rick Registered: 06/04/06 Posts: 7689 Loc: Aberdeen, WA	Any error message at all? If no error in the screen, then you might need to check your webserver error logs and see if there is any info there. _________________________ UBB.threads™ Developer My Personal Website · StogieSmokers.com

Morgan journeyman Registered: 06/13/06 Posts: 72	I have a question. Because of my limited mysql server I have no attention to import all post from my previous forum however I wish to import the members, forums and categories. So all topics and PM will be skipped. Because of above error which makes the import script stop after importing only one board do you think its ok to continue from there? What I mean is recreating the new but same forums. Will I miss something vital If I do it that way??? I'm just a bit confused at the moment. Thanks

You'd want to look for an error that includes the filename: classic_import.php ( or however it's spelled) _________________________ - Allen - ThreadsDev \| PraiseCafe
