Vbulletin4 import - Permalink issue

installation
1

I’m missing the last bit of the puzzle.

Postprocessing posts…
2480 / 2480 (100.0%)
Creating Permalink File…

Traceback (most recent call last):
3: from script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb:942:in <main>' 2: from /root/discourse/script/import_scripts/base.rb:47:in perform’
1: from script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb:93:in execute' script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb:893:in create_permalink_file’: uninitialized constant ImportScripts::VBulletin::CSV (NameError)
Did you mean? CSP

Looks like no one had this issue. May be, i’m doing something wrong.

if this is optional, can you comment

" # mysql_query(“CREATE INDEX firstpostid_index ON #{TABLE_PREFIX}thread (firstpostid)”) rescue nil

# import_groups
# import_users
# create_groups_membership
# import_categories
# import_topics
# import_posts
# import_private_messages
# import_attachments

# close_topics
# post_process_posts

# create_permalink_file"

and then run the import script again?

Yes, but they just creates a permalink file, not create permalinks in Discourse. One day I’ll have time to submit a PR with a version that creates them.

Hello! Sorry for bump old topic, but I have the same issue.
How can I resolve this? Thanks!

Welcome @taravasya !

You’d look at another import script that supports creating permalinks and modify that code to work for the vBulletin script. If that’s not a solution for you, then you’d need to ask in #marketplace or send me a pm (or see Migrate to Discourse Discussion Platform from your current formum software. and say that you just need this update to the script).

Thanks Jay! After several tryes, I was able to successfully import. I think in this case, I initially made a mistake when creating the environment, but soon discovered a few of my mistakes, and ultimately achieved a positive result with this script:

True, I’m not very happy with the rendering of some bbcodes and I think I still have to “play around” there, but this is a separate issue.
In any case, thanks!

Great! Glad you got it. If you don’t have it installed already, be sure to add Discourse BBCode. You’ll need to Rebake all posts matching a pattern (or maybe just rebake all posts) after you install it.

Ah… Thanks. I was try to import in fresh installed discourse, and if discourse not have this plugin by default, I think I don’t have it too. :person_shrugging: I will look!
