Re: Re:Forum Convert tool
Thomas:
I'd be very interested to hear of any progress you made or problems encountered on this one. I'll shortly be facing the same situation 😕
(From my limited experience) :
The Object Type field contains a string such as "forum", "image" etc, indicating where this comment came from (ie if a user posts a comment in connection with someone elses image gallery, it goes here.)
The Object field contains a number which identifies one particular instance of that Object Type. Hmm, for example:
A user makes a few posts in a forum "My First Forum", those will all show in this table with Object Type = forum, Object = 1.
The user then makes a post in another forum "My Second Forum", that post appears in this table with Object Type = forum, Object = 2.
Then they post a comment on someone's image, in the gallery "My First Image Gallery". That appears as Object Type = image_gallery, Object = 1.
I don't know the full list of Object Types, but for importing from phpBB, obviously we just make a new column in the data, that's always set to "forum".
Now my question, what is "message_id" in the same table, or more to the point, how can we create workable values when importing?
