I had imported a phpbb forum to mybb previously. The importer script
messed up the firstpost ids. In this case most topics cannot be imported
to discourse as the script is not able to determine the topic post.
In case you are infected of this problem just uncomment this mysql
query. It will retrieve the first_post_id manually but it will slow down
the import.
The post_ids in my mybb installation did not be in the right order. Post
with ID 2 was posted after post 5. I think it has something to do with a
previous import from phpbb to mybb.
bbcode-to-md happily ignores all phpBB's lists. The list syntax is
[list][*]item 1
[*]item 2
[/list]
and
[list=1][*]item 1
[*]item 2
[/list]
respectively for [ul] and [ol]s. Luckily, phpBB adds closing tags for [*] items. My workaround simply converts phpBBs lists into bbcode using [ul] and [ol] which then can be converted by the standard bbcode-to-md code.
FIX: history revision can now properly be hidden
FIX: PostRevision serializer is now entirely dynamic to properly handle
hidden revisions
FIX: default history modal to "side by side" view on mobile
FIX: properly hiden which revision has been hidden
UX: inline category/user/wiki/post_type changes with the revision
details
FEATURE: new '/posts/:post_id/revisions/latest' endpoint to retrieve
latest revision
UX: do not show the hide/show revision button on mobile (no room for
them)
UX: remove CSS transitions on the buttons in the history modal
FIX: PostRevisor now handles all the changes that might create new
revisions
FIX: PostRevision.ensure_consistency! was wrong due to off by 1
mistake...
refactored topic's callbacks for better readability
extracted 'PostRevisionGuardian'
This code adds all three avatar types to the import. Uploaded avatars and default gallery avatars are converted, hotlinked are pulled from the remote web site and stored as local. Beware, though: this is currently done during the importer run and can consume loong periods of time if many downloads fail with timeouts.
A minor fix concerns attachments to posts with white space in the real_name, this is handled properly now.
Changed internals so trust levels are referred to with
TrustLevel[1], TrustLevel[2] etc.
This gives us much better flexibility naming trust levels, these names
are meant to be controlled by various communities.
FEATURE: add backtrace when an exception happen (importers)
FIX: post-processing should also happen on first posts (vBulletin
importer)
PERF: faster topic bypass when already imported
After an import has finished the site settings should be reset to their
previous values. For example, since 'disable_emails' was set to false
before any import, it wasn't possible to login after the import
(sending email for password reset didn't work).
PERF: disabled refresh_avatar callback when importing users
PERF: avoid using UsernameSuggester when not needed
FIX: categories wasn't working
FIX: posts from deleted users are now from the system user
