This migration test 2 is finished.

The migration has gone well, and most (not all) of the bbcode was converted to markdown.

There are two issues to fix:

The conversion from ICODE tags to markdown added a new line "\n" before and after the markdown tag. This was a copy-and-paste error on my part when I redesigned the migration script and it not easy to fix in the DB.
In order to convert the vb plugin "thanks" to likes in discourse, I need to add a new field (vbpostid) to the posts table in discourse; otherwise there is no good way to transfer "thanks" to "likes"

If there was only the ICODE tags I issue, I might leave it be; however I think it is important to transfer the "thanks" to "likes" and so I think I will attempt to fix this without starting from scratch.

Currently, I'm raking all posts to see if I can fix the the bbcode-to-markdown in a few 100K posts which were not cooked properly before I got the bbcode-to-md plugin working.

That process is humming along:

Code:

# rake posts:refresh_oneboxes 
Rebaking post markdown for 'default'
   384936 / 1212998 ( 31.7%)

Then I will check the posts again for bbcode/markdown issues.

IF, that goes OK.. I will try to purge the topics (threads) and posts in postgres and rebuild only these two tables (topics, posts) from scratch, adding the extra field / column to the posts table (vbpostid).
During that migration, I will fix the issue with ICODE tag migration.

To purge all topics and posts in discourse:

Code:

rake destroy:topics_all_categories

If that works well, we will be lookin' good.

If not, I will start over from scratch.

HOWEVER, I "think" I can do this without starting over from scratch.
