Full Discussion: Under Consideration: Migrate the Forums to Discourse
The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Under Consideration: Migrate the Forums to Discourse Post 303044947 by Neo on Monday 9th of March 2020 01:28:57 PM

OK... after seeing the results of about 40% of the main topics / threads (before the replies / posts are uploaded):

Code:
importing topics...
    95440 / 240477 ( 39.7%)  [414 items/min

I can see two problems:
  • The CODE and ICODE tags seems to not be ported into discourse.
  • The "not parent" categories of forums (child forums) are not getting moved into the new DB and case an "error".

So, current way ahead is looking like:
  • Continue to let the migration process run until finished.
  • Study the results and at least do the following:

  1. Move avatars to the DUMPED DB before DUMPING, so the AVATARS will port (maybe).
  2. DUMP the Forum DB again.
  3. Do a search and replace in the DB (DUMPED VERSION) and change all CODE tags to ``` (markdown three back ticks).
  4. Ditto for the ICODE tags, convert the all to ``` for markdown ; but I am not sure 100% this will work, but we can try.
  5. Change all forums to "parent, top level forums" in the DUMPED DB, so we I import again, they will work (not be children to parents).

Something like that.....

Looks like the CODE tags are just getting stripped out of the migration. Need to confirm when we get back up to 2019 / 2020 time frame. Right now the migrations is in the 2009 time frame.

This is what is looks like so far..... take lessons learned from this migration, make adjustments, and do it again.
