Question Thread importer

[Seeker-Smith]

Hi

Many thanks for all the work you've done to this add-on.

I just updated to 2.2.0 I found the permissions for the tread import but I'm lost finding the actual function.

Regards,
Peter

Never mind, I found it. In the forum menu. Logical place for it.

You can also use inline moderation to batch import threads

Yeah its awesome. I'm just getting things ready to import.

So it doesn't move or delete the original. Rather it creates a new post in S-G.

Correct. If you grant yourself the permissions to, you can delete the originals, either soft or hard delete.

So there is a problem. The importer is not importing attachments with the threads,

 

[Fillip H.]

It does actually import them, it just drops the attach_count value from posts. I've hotfixed v2.2.0.

This query will correct existing records:

UPDATE xf_dbtech_social_groups_message AS gm
SET gm.attach_count = (
    SELECT COUNT(*)
    FROM xf_attachment
    WHERE content_type = 'dbtech_social_message'
        AND content_id = gm.message_id
)

Awesome fix, thanks!

If a group has no sections you can't import to the main discussion area. This is not a problem for me but I thought I'd let you know.

Single-thread import or inline mod import?

I've only used inline moderation. But I'll test and get back.

I just tested both and in both cases it worked. So I'm going to say never mind it does appear to function.

 

[Fillip H.]

Thanks for getting back to me, I did find it odd cause I could have sworn I handled not having a section chosen, but I also didn't explicitly test importing into a forum with no sections

Just for the record; You don't need the upcoming v2.2.0.1 as it contains nothing but the above attach_count hotfix as well as an upgrade query for rebuilding attach_count

So I'm still importing threads. Will I need to run the hotfix again?

 

[Fillip H.]

No, if you already re-downloaded v2.2.0 and ran the query, you won't need to do anything else as it should work going forward.

In the forum menu?

ACP-> Forums ?

I'm not seeing it or just not picking up what you're throwing down.

Front-end, either in the thread’s menu or by using inline moderation.

Make sure you grant yourself the new permission(s).
