Update1:
Update2:
- Added two columns to the vb3 post table, discourse_topic_id and the discourse_post_id
- Added one column to the vb3 thread table, discourse_topic_id
- Added Ruby code to the migration script preprocessing control which inserts the discourse_topic_id and the discourse_post_id of the migrated posts back into the mysql dump for the vb3 post and thread tables.
After migration will update the original vb3 post and thread table so we have the mappings to the discourse_post_id and discourse_thread_id, which we will use for a number of redirections and links in the future.
This means, for example, when someone clicks on an old thread in the legacy vb3 forum to reply, we can send them to the new thread to reply.
Cheers.
