Gary Lewis Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Happy 4th of July! As an update on the migration of the forum from Nabble to Invision, we've paid the $2050 to do the migration. The next step is to upload a current backup of the Nabble forum for them to write a routine to translate it into Invision format, but we've run afoul of the holiday and apparently the Invision staff are off at the moment. In fact their statement says "Normal support services will resume on Monday, July 8th." So I'm hoping that on Monday I'll be given a place to upload our 7.3GB backup file and they can start coding. But I have no idea how long that will take, so I'll give y'all an update when I have one. In the interim, be safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 God bless America! 🇺🇲 As of today Invision has the file from Sunday's backup of our Nabble forum. They will use that to develop the code to migrate us and when they think they have it right they'll put it up on our Invision forum, replacing what is there at the moment. Then they'll invite us to check it out and point out any problems with it, which they'll then work to correct. When they have that sorted we will lock this forum so there can't be any input and take a backup, which they'll run through the migration code and voilà we'll have our old forum in a new environment. They don't know how long this will take as they've not migrated anyone from Nabble before. But they've migrated from other platforms so know how to do it.

If they had migrated from Nabble they'd have the code written already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 If they had migrated from Nabble they'd have the code written already! Yep, very true. But I'll bet they'd still charge as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Yep, very true. But I'll bet they'd still charge as much. Well, they're driving blind right now. I understand that they have experience in migrating other platforms to theirs. When Pablo was working on it it seemed impossible, but perhaps this Invision platform is different than what you had in mind before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just have to find each element and map it to the right place. I’m starting another thread to provide more info on timing and the plan.

I’m starting another thread to provide more info on timing and the plan. That's what I said, but they have to tease out each element, deconstruct it, figure out how it's going to work in their framework and how to get it there intact. I'll go see what more you have to say about this,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
