Migrate a bbPress WordPress plugin forum to Discourse

It sounds like it.

And my vbulletin import script, which does handle non-linked attachments, doesn’t look for them in that table, so you’ll need some custom code to deal with that, even after I get around to submitting a PR with my script.

EDIT: and it also means that I think that even if they were linked in-post they still wouldn’t work, since they aren’t where the script expects them in the database.

Good news! I don’t know exactly how the import script handles it but it does! After making the files accessible to the import container and digging a bit in the script I found that it works. The only problem I had was that the file name which I tested it on contained an ä and thus some weird encoding shit prevented the script from finding the file actually. After fixing the filename the import worked and the attachment appeared at the post!

Thanks a lot for all the tips!

Awesome! Glad the magic worked for you! (Oh! I and I see now that I was looking at the vBulletin script and not bbPress, hence my confusion. That explains why I couldn’t find the table!)

Hi
I got an error after launching the IMPORT bundle exec command:

Any idea please ?
Thank you

Thanks for this tutorial, @vinothkannans!

I’m stuck modifying bbpress.rb

After running sudo nano script/import_scripts/bbpress.rb it opens the file editor, but when I tray and save, it says there’s no such file or directory:

It’s a totally fresh install.

Many thanks,

Jake

vinothkannans · 24 Septiembre, 2020 08:18

In the above guide, I used /var/discourse directory to install the Discourse development environment. If you installed it in a different location then make sure to cd to that directory (‘~/discourse’ in most cases) instead of the above before running the sudo nano script/import_scripts/bbpress.rb command.

Donavan_Martin · 2 Noviembre, 2020 20:02

Hi,

I don’t see “script” path in /var/discourse folder.

I tried from DigitalOcean’s new Discourse Marketplace fresh instance.
I tried from Discourse Docker official install.

This is what /var/discourse/scripts/ looks like:

Best regards

pfaffman · 2 Noviembre, 2020 23:56

That’s right.

You’ll need to set up a development environment or follow instructions in other import topics about how you might run the import script inside of a production container.

Donavan_Martin · 3 Noviembre, 2020 12:44

Finally found How to use the bbpress import script - or any other import script with mysql dependency - developers - Discourse Meta for missing part.

Thanks

mponts · 30 Noviembre, 2023 16:37

@vinothkannans Estoy intentando migrar de WPForo a Discourse y el script/código está más allá de mi capacidad. ¿Podrías (o alguien más) ayudarme con esto? Gracias.

jericson · 30 Noviembre, 2023 20:26

Quizás tengas más suerte publicando en Marketplace. Hay varias personas que monitorean esa categoría y pueden ayudarte.

JammyDodger · 30 Noviembre, 2023 22:03

Aunque también tenemos la categoría Migration para preguntas específicas sobre migraciones.

Estoy recibiendo el siguiente error cuando sigo la guía y llego al punto en que ejecuto el script de importación. Instalé discourse según estas instrucciones

myuser@tmp-discourse:~/discourse$ IMPORT=1 bundle &amp;&amp; IMPORT=1 bundle exec ruby script/import_scripts/bbpress.rb

[!] Hubo un error al analizar `Gemfile`: No puedes especificar el mismo gem dos veces con diferentes requisitos de versión.
Especificaste: sqlite3 (~&gt; 1.3, &gt;= 1.3.13) y sqlite3 (&gt;= 0). Bundler no puede continuar.

Mark_Wass · 10 Enero, 2024 07:49

Lo he conseguido cambiando esto en el Gemfile

# NOTA: en modo de importación, la versión de sqlite puede importar mucho, así que la fijamos a una específica
#gem "sqlite3", "~> 1.3", ">= 1.3.13"
  gem "sqlite3"

También necesité instalar este paquete en mi instalación de Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

sudo apt install freetds-dev
