I’m currently working on importing a handful of my smaller topic-related vbulletin forums into a single Discourse. Things are going swimmingly. Seriously. Very happy. The only remaining problem I have is that some of these vb communities have photo galleries (vb paid add-on). I am looking to see wh…

Are these galleries linked to a topic? If they are, you could modify the importer to add these images in the topic they’re linked to.

No. This is a photo gallery that integrates with VB, but is separate. Photopost VBGallery. They are linked to the user and allows them to have photo albums, comments, whatnot.

I once wrote an importer for what I think was a similar gallery. I put all of the images into the topic post and included the comments as posts under it.

Are you saying create topic posts for these images? Because there aren’t any that are currently in topics. I’d have to create topics based on captions, I guess.

@Sara_Noel couple of years later, wondering how everything is going, are all the import kinks now resolved?

Candidly speaking, I decided against a gallery. Sometimes I forget the bloat I carried with VB. Import went fine. In-forum images are fine/totally acceptable. Thanks for checking in, Sam. Same day…1 week…2 years. Works for me. :wink: Time is flying by. Feel free to like or bump any of my old pos…

No probs … fair enough… btw these days we have an interesting gallery theme component you could experiment with at: [image] Tiles Image Gallery theme-component warning This component is deprecated. Discourse now has a built-in tiled gallery feature: Responsive Grid Ga…
