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.
