Question there are no posts in this forum

Hi Matias
the operation of Synch on users, and on categories recount were already performed without success.

users are synchronized. and i can see the profiles of the old ones and the imported ones.

forums categories show the exact number of topics and replies, and the last author
(both old ones and imported ones)

form last post ID is correct.

IDs of topics and replies are unique. there is no conflict.

also parent and thread fields are correctly set for all the posts.

indeed in fireboard it was working perfectly.

I noticed that some text fields contains not correctly interpreted utf8 characthers.
could that be the cause? (e.g. à è ì ò ù have been converted in strange symbols)

is there an easy way to fix this in the DB?

i can send you a PM if you have the time to help me with this issue...

Unfortunately my current situation (too much work) does not offer me a luxury to offer support in PMs.

I still advice you to create new topic and compare all the fields from the imported messages to the new ones. For example catid needs to point to category and it's the same in all messages in the thread/topic.

FireBoard had a lot of bugs and fixing them made Kunena 1.5 more restrictive on what mistakes it allows in it's database. Also some old custom templates may not be working well, so try to use default_ex in your tests.

Do you see new threads/messages in Kunena? Are the messages from Kunena working? How did you do the import? If you want to, you can send data from both migrated and new thread so that I can try to look if there's something missing in it. Most important for showing up a thread is the first message..

Issues with the utf8 characters comes either from your database (wrong encoding) or your migration script, which didn't say that you are using UTF8. If it is database, just change database collation. If it was your script, those characters have been destroyed and you need to do the import again.

"some old custom templates may not be working well, so try to use default_ex in your tests."

I ve used the default one

"Do you see new threads/messages in Kunena? Are the messages from Kunena working?"

Yes, YEs

" If you want to, you can send data from both migrated and new thread so that I can try to look if there's something missing in it. Most important for showing up a thread is the first message.."

I m sending you a link to download the sql dump right now.

thanks matias

I hate SQL dumps as you cannot find anything from it..

This time I could not find any imported data from jos_fb_users table -- last entry was 45805.

Just in case: here are the basic rules for jos_fb_messages:

1) First message in the topic has always parent=0
2) Rest of the messages have parent=firstid or any previous post in the topic/thread
3) Thread points always to id of the first message
4) catid is always the same as first messages catid

Another note: if IDs from the imported data > original data, they will be your newest threads/messages. This is because of Kunena orders messages by id, not by time.

i ll check it now and i ll keep you posted.
thanks so much for now.
