Gaj, Access is my specialist subjectquote:Originally posted by GAJ
Currently it's an Access database. It's not possible to import this directly into vBulletin, it would first have to be converted to MySQL. This in itself poses loads of problems, it's not a case of simply getting a script and clicking run, unfortunately. Full details of the problems others have had attempting similar conversions can be found on the vBulletin forum. I have a guy working with me at the moment who is a wizard at these things but he doesn't have the time (or inclination!) to spend on this gratis and there's no way we can afford his £1k day rate!I seem to remember that vBulletin can import data files (although I might be wrong). It might be possible to manipulate the data and output into a format that vBulletin can then import.
Might not work, or only partially work, but would be worth a try, like I said I'm happy to give it a go.
You could consider it my sponsorship for next year
vbulletin seems well suported:)quote:Originally posted by GAJ

surely we have the expertise out there with backup support from vbulletin to make this happen

Gaj - found this http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157703&highlight=importing+from+c sv
Its easy to output from Access into a CSV file, not sure if the data will need to be manipulated before though....
That's excellent news Paul. The import facility into the latest version of vBulletin uses ImpEx. The procedure is well documented on the vBulletin site, as are the problems converting from the Snitz .asp.
Feel free at having a crack at writing a convertor script and let us know how you get on.
Gaj - I'll need a copy of the structure (not the actual data though) of current database ie what tables, fields are used in Snitz etc. then I can map each table and field to the required format for vBulletin.
It will then be possible to export these as individual CSV files and then should be possible to import these into vBulletin using the CSV importer.
Can't promise this will work though :I I might be oversimplifying the process.....
You can down load Snitz from here.
It's freeware!
