Issue: XenForo Support

Hey Pegasus,

I'm drooling over XenForu and can't wait to switch, but I want to confirm with you that it will be possible to migrate and preserve all of my vaultwiki settings.

I'm assuming I'll have to upgrade to vaultwiki 4 on vB first, then migrate to XenForo?

We intend to have an option to import VaultWiki from a separate database, so the order will really be up to you. Example:

1. Upgrade to VaultWiki 4 on vB.
2. Install VaultWiki 4 separately on XenForo.
3. Import your vB VaultWiki to your XF VaultWiki.

OR

1. Install VaultWiki 4 separately on XenForo.
2. Import your vB VaultWiki to your XF VaultWiki.
3. The VaultWiki 3 data is automatically ported to VaultWiki 4.

Could you clarify on the import process?

Are you talking about importing a database dump or are you talking about connecting directly to another database using the database credentials?

VaultWiki will be able to connect directly to another database using database credentials once you enter those credentials into a config file.

Works for me!

Thank you again for all of your hard work and I can't wait for VaultWiki 4!

I've got a beta site up and running at www.controlbooth.com/xenforo

Looking forward to getting a hold of the code and starting to put it thru it's paces.

Is there an updated ETA for Xenforo support?

Previously, Xenforo support was to be in vW4 beta2.

I think vW is still in alpha currently.

What's happening about XF integration?
I have already transferred to XF on two sites and would want a vW fresh install inheriting my XF page wrapper, and usergroup recognition.

Currently I am having to look at getting a custom addon coded because XF has no adequate support for articles. This is an expensive proposition so I am anxious to know your timeframe.

There are many other XF users who need this as a matter of key importance.

As VaultWiki 4 for vBulletin 4 testing comes to a close, we will begin XenForo testing this week. Users interested in joining the Alpha Team for the XenForo round should contact me via PM.

Somewhere around 50% done with the core extensions today. Trying to wrap them up tomorrow so we can work on the vB4VW4->XFVW4 importer, which needs to be done before any real testing can take place.

As far as I can tell, the core is completely extended now to work with XenForo. Now writing the install controller...

Install controller is done. Writing the vBulletin to XenForo importer (VW4 to VW4 only, for the first release) today.

EDIT: A list of things I forgot to add to the install controller:

• Create the attachments folder (XenForo stores attachments in the file system)
• Create the Special prefix and commit it to cache, before inserting the Special pages.
• Populate the Wiki languages from the forum languages.

Created all options that are relevant to XenForo (e.g. no social groups).

Fixed the missing parts of the installer mentioned above, along with a few other things like allowable attachment types, user counts, etc (was also missing from the vB installer).
