Full Discussion: Update on vB3 Migration to Discourse - Issues and Status of BBCode Transformations

According to a quick check 35 tables (posts with tables) has been stripped or skipped from the migration:


Code:
MariaDB [vb3]> select count(postid) from post where pagetext like '%[table="head"]%';
+---------------+
| count(postid) |
+---------------+
|            35 |
+---------------+
1 row in set (5.559 sec)

MariaDB [vb3]> exit
Bye
root@discourse1-app:/shared/neo/bin# /shared/neo/bin/pg
psql (10.12 (Debian 10.12-1.pgdg100+1))
Type "help" for help.

discourse=> select count(id) from posts where raw like '%[table=“head”¯]%';
 count 
-------
     0
(1 row)

We can easily write code to convert these tables to markdown; but since the posts were stripped from the migration, and this would require a totally fresh migration from the start, I am inclined, as this time, to just drop these 35 posts from the new site.

We could add them at a later time, manually, as doing this manually for 35 posts would take a few hours, but redoing the migration will take a week and be painful. It would take a few hours to write and test the script, to make sure it works anyway.

So, my inclination to not worry about losing 35 posts with TABLE tags at this time (and manually add them back in the future).

kitpost

KITSEND(1)						      General Commands Manual							KITSEND(1)

NAME

       kitpost - posts distribution kits

SYNOPSIS

       kitpost [ -hrV ] [ -H file ] [ -D desc ] [ -m dest1,dest2 ] [ kits ] [ newsgroups ]

DESCRIPTION

       Kitpost	posts  distribution kits made by makedist to some (source) newsgroups specified on the command line. If you do not specify any kit
       list, then all the kits are sent. Otherwise, only the specified kits will be (re)sent.

       A kit list may include ranges, 1-10 specifying kits 1 through 10, and 5- meaning kits 5 up to the last one. You may also specify  kit  num-
       bers by separating them with commas or spaces, and even mix with ranges, such as: 1 3 5-7 9.

       Kitpost ensures correct References: lines are inserted in your postings so that all parts but the first point to the root article. Threaded
       newsreaders and end-users traditionally appreciate that.

OPTIONS

       The following options are recognized by kitpost:

       -h	 Print help message and exit.

       -m dest1,destn
		 Sends kits by e-mail to the specified recipients. This option may be used in conjunction with newsgroup  posting.  It	is  mainly
		 intended  for	sites  where  direct  posting to a moderated newsgroup is not allowed by inews. You may thus send your kits to the
		 newsgroup moderator in a form that will ease the whole posting process.

       -r	 Signals a repost.

       -D description
		 Specify a description string that will be added to the subject line. Usually a brief sentence (less than, say, 40 characters).

       -H file	 Specify a file to be used as header introduction in the first part of your posting. Usually the root README file.

       -V	 Print version number and exit.

BUGS

       Article cross-referencing is properly set-up only when the whole package is (re)posted in one batch.

       It is not currently possible to set-up the article headers manually or better, interactively.
