Migration from Yahoo! Groups

[Taunusbahner (Sven)]

Hello,

@danb35

It seems that all the Yahoo user names imported correctly (I recognize many of them from my membership in the list), but attached themselves to the wrong messages.

There is a new plugin for that.

I have exported and imported all the Yahoo! messages from a development version as a category with these script.

Topic and Category Export/Import

Today we moved a category with 2 groups and a dozen users from one instance to the next. It took about half an hour for a group of three people (one admin on site 1, another on site 2, a coordinator). Step 1: backup Coordinator announces move: About the Prepare FOSDEM 2019 category - Prepare FOSDEM 2019 - Enough Coordinator changes group permissions to ‘See’ (to keep groups across the migration while preventing new edits) Admin makes a backup Admin runs RAILS_ENV=production script/discourse …

Now there was the problem with the double or false users.
With this Plugin: Merge Users Plugin
You can easly merge the Yahoo users with your Discourse users.

And now we have only the problem with the attachments from Yahoo.
