皆さん、こんにちは。vBulletin から Discourse へのテストインポートの準備を進めており、いくつか質問があります。
インポート実行時、インポートされたすべてのユーザーに自動的にメール通知が送信されますか？実際の移行に先立ちテスト移行を実施したいと考えており、このテスト移行中はユーザーにメールを送信したくありません。移行が正常に機能することを確認してから本番移行を進めたいと考えています。
ユーザーが移行され、新しいサイトを訪れた際、Discourse はどのようにして移行された過去のユーザーと、Discourse にアクセスしてきたユーザーを関連付けますか？同じメールアドレスを使用する必要がありますか？
よろしくお願いいたします。
I generally either disable email or configure Discourse such that it can’t send email. They will get summary emails if you’re not careful.
You probably want to turn on login required and/or the don’t-index-this-site (I forget the name) system variables so that Google doesn’t index it too.
They’ll need to do a “forgot password” (but you might check out Migrated password hashes support) to get connected with their old account. If someone tries to register for an account with an email address that already exists they won’t be able to since the email address is already a user.
Some number of people will have forgotten what email address they used when they created their account and will whine about it. You’ll have to get them to convince you that they are that person and change the email address for them.
We generally recommend users to use their email address to log in to the new forum for the first time because the import changes a (generally very small percentage) of usernames because the Discourse username rules are more strict.
So if someone has forgotten the email address they’ve registered with, they will be able to login with their username/password in 99% of the cases if you are using the migrate paasword plugin. And in the rare case they forgot their email address and their username belongs to one of the few that were changed, you’ll only need to tell them the new username that corresponds with the old username. No convincing needed.
