Hi as mentioned in Makeshift but working flarum import script I have migrated from Flarum to Discourse. My first site and totally digging your work, kudos to you all. Something that at first glance in dev seemed to be just fine was the way the posts were all migrated. In the browser most look fine …

Hi I have figured out how to clean up in a manual fashion and also get the broken images fixed. However I’d like to do it in an automated fashion. What I would like to do is find a way to remove all the html tags like [P] and [/P] and [BR/]. I have searched the forum but I can’t find anything clos…

Here’s code that does something similar: posts=Post.where("raw like '%Sent from%using Tapatalk'") posts.each do |post| post.raw.gsub!(/^Sent from my.+?using Tapatalk$/,"") post.save post.rebake! end I don’t think that you need to do something “smart” for images or URLs unless they are so…

[image] koen360: Should be fine then right using the remap? FWIW @koen360 When we migrated our forum we had countless of these bbcode and tag issues from nearly two decades of forum posts. We did not use the rake remap function for these and, in all cases, we used the technique that @pfaffm…

Hi, below the content of my script/cleanup.rb which I launch using: RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec ruby script/cleanup.rb File content: require_relative '../config/environment' pm = 0 Post.find_each do |test| test.raw.gsub!(/<(.|\/.)>/i,"") test.save test.rebake! pm = pm + 1 end puts "cycl…

Did you test your regex somewhere? Do one post at a time to make sure that the raw got changed?

Used your rubular suggestion and now regexr.com see below screenshot. Just went for the p and the r tags for now and get those sorted before adding the more complex ones. [image]
