Full Discussion: Update on vB3 Migration to Discourse - Issues and Status of BBCode Transformations
The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Update on vB3 Migration to Discourse - Issues and Status of BBCode Transformations Post 303045571 by Neo on Wednesday 1st of April 2020 11:14:35 PM
Old 04-02-2020
Today, armed with a new migration script vbulletin_neo7.rb I will start a migration from scratch on the staging server for the purposes of getting raw preprocessed posts from the postgres DB and uploading them to the community site; but first I will do this on the staging site, as follow:
  • Start a new migration from scratch using vbulletin_neo7.rb. This will take a few days.
  • Test some problematic posts and see if they migrated correctly ( tested this yesterday on a small scale, and it looked fine), if so:
  • Dump the raw posts from the postgres DB created above, along with the mapping table between the vb posts and the discourse posts.
  • Restore the staging server with the current community snapshot.
  • Move the raw from the new migration to the restored staging server DB.
  • Test.

Yesterday, I tested the migration script vbulletin_neo7.rb and it worked OK

@Scrutinizer is also working on some other bbcode migration enhancements which we will apply when he is ready to test (he has a full time job and family demands so no hurry or worry).

I want to create a new baseline without the broken ruby-bbcode-to-md plugin which our new vbulletin_neo7.rb script and new custom bbcode plugin, neo-discourse-bbcode which has a solid new ICODE bbcode tag working.
