Issue: Importer/Exporter

Leave the importer until Alpha 2, as it's a big project and we need to get the core tested. Users who need to import should install VaultWiki 3, import into that, then upgrade to VaultWiki 4.

Since the importer is needed to handle customers moving from vBulletin to other platforms, it was begun in Alpha 1. However, it currently only supports importing VaultWiki 4 into VaultWiki 4. Still, marking as In Progress since the core importer is written and working, and supports at least one import source.

Just wanted to update that the importer also supports VaultWiki 3 into VaultWiki 4 now, seemingly regardless of target platform. Will be re-adding support for MediaWiki and NuWiki shortly.

You know my system, I came from NuWiki to Vaultwiki 3. I'm on Vaultwiki 4 now, but should I wait for NuWiki support first?

You don't need NuWiki support if you already have your data migrated using another path (like NuWiki > VW3 > VW4). Above I only mention it in case someone still needs a direct NuWiki > VW4 path.

Recently ran 2 successful imports of VW4 > VW4 on XF using 2 different source & 2 different target databases. However, there are still some quirks in XenForo's debug mode is enabled, and I believe 1 or 2 issues using PHP 5.4, although they may already be fixed in the current build.

So, if possible run the importer with XenForo's debug mode turned off. If possible run under PHP 5.3, if not I think it might stall when importing tagged content. I will be generating a new build in a few hours, once I solve another couple of bugs that have been bothering me today.

I think a NuWiki importer should not be prioritized. At this point, many if not all NuWiki users have migrated to a different solution. If someone needs it in the future they can request it.

However, MediaWiki import needs to be supported before this issue can be closed.

Bumped per: https://xenforo.com/community/thread...10#post-815018

Marked as Completed in the next release. Starting with RC 4, the MediaWiki importer has returned, and it's a significant improvement over the importer for VaultWiki 3.x.
