I recall this as an option for SMF (in fact SPUDS might have authored one of the scripts).
Basically, I need to merge an SMF 2.0 forum with an ElkArte 1.09 forum. In a few cases, I need to merge members as well. This is for a small community. Thanks to OpenImporter I also have the option of merging two ElkArte 1.09 forums.
Is there a creative method to get OpenImporter to do this?
Anyone have a the location of a script that would help me here?
Thanks.
Sounds simple:
1. Convert SMF to Elk.
2. Merge Elk with Elk.
(All on testing copies of the databases in question first, of course.)
Really? O_o
I don't remember merging being among the features. IIRC any time the importing of a table starts, OI wipes the destination table, so I can't see how merging could work.
I did port (at least in part) my Admin Toolbox modification as I needed the merge member capability for myself. I'd need to pack it up and add it to the addon site.
I meant that OpenImporter was successful in converting the SMF forum to ElkArte, so that the solution (in my case) could include merging ElkArte forums.
Ohhh... okay
/me should go sleep when it's more than 23:00.
Actually that's also how I interpreted it. I raised an eyebrow at the fact that merging was supported but didn't check because you guys are quite industrious so it's quite plausible. Besides, apparently
@Spuds already implemented it, albeit not in OI, proving my assumption more correct than incorrect. ;)
