I have a customer that is going to need it.

~~Seemed to be interested.~~ No. I think they just mean an existing normal topic. I’m a bit surprised that this isn’t solved, or perhaps all I need to do is to install [Discourse Upvotes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-upvotes/227808) and it’ll just work?
I don’t see any rake tasks in the new plugin, and glancing at the migrations it doesn’t appear that there is any magic there, though I could be wrong on one or both counts.
EDIT: OOps. It does look like the first migration handles moving stuff to the new plugin right here. . . I’m running the upgrade now and will delete this when it works.
EDIT 2: Sigh. It didn’t work. It’s failing with ` "PG::InvalidParameterValue: ERROR: cannot extract elements from a scalar",`
