Im fed up with Invision. I’m interested in a self install. my board has Total Members 57651 Total Topics 4552 Total Posts 42326 nearly 10k attachments mostly pics how much for a convert?

I’m also interested. Have 3000k posts, 3000 members in IPB 3.something Would be very very keen on seeing your script.

I have an IPB 2.3.6 installation with >20.000 users and >70.000 posts and would love to try your script on it. Would this be possible? Kind regards – Florian

I’m still working on it. I hope to have it submitted if a couple weeks.

Hey @pfaffman Do you still need a beta tester for your plugin? We’d be happy to try :smiley: Thanks!

If you send me a database and your avatars, I’ll do an import and make sure my code works with your database. I also need the URL where your uploads live (the current version will link to your uploads on the current site rather than upload them into Discourse. You can then configure discourse to download them locally).

is this offer still available ? Getting to the point where I might have to pay IPB :sadpanda: Want to convert from http://mandrivausers.org/

Hey, i will probably need to do a migration from IP Board v3.4.5 to Discourse at my job, any news about the import script? Would love to test it.

I wont promise that it will work for you, but I will try to clean it up and submit a PR in the next few days. If you have a budget, my contact info is in my profile.

I also need to do a migration from a bitrix based forum, so i’ll have to write a custom script anyway and figure out how all of this works, anything to save me some time would be extremely helpful. Thank you.

Here it is. The two sites that I imported with this code were wildly different. I hope that someone finds it useful. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/5543

You’re not passing a category to the topic creator, so you’ll need to fix that.
