I’ve successfully imported my vBulletin 5 forum into Discourse. While the overall import script works fine, I’m encountering errors when importing attachments. The attachments are stored in my database and include the following extensions: java, html, jpg, png, txt, rtf, zip, js, and xml. Upon debu…

You’ll need to add some debugging put statements to see what it’s happening.

I added debugging statement on upl_obj begin upl_obj = create_upload(post.user.id, filename, real_filename) if upl_obj&.persisted? html = html_for_upload(upl_obj, real_filename) if !post.raw[html] post.raw += "\n\n#{html}\n\n" post.s…

Is there an issue with files in database or import script encoding issue? @pfaffman

@RGJ Thanks for the help. I tried importing a new database with the correct images, and while it imported, not all attachments were fully imported. I’m encountering errors like this: [image] Any idea why this is happening? @RGJ @pfaffman

Posts are appearing like this, and there are many instances: [image]

I don’t think the importer can handle those. If I recall correctly, all [ATTACH] tags are removed from the posts since they are superfluous. That probably doesn’t work here because it does not expect JSON data in it. It would be matter of looking up the place where they are being removed and modify…

Oui, c’est à peu près exact. Mais pour autant que je sache, dans vBulletin 5, c’est toujours via la base de données.
