what is the best way to restore groups with special access ?
« on: November 11, 2009, 06:48:42 PM »
Hi. I had two user groups (non-post-count based) with special access to two special forums.

What is the most convenient way to restore those ?

I converted using vb3.7 converter, VB3.8.4 > smf1.1.10

I still have all tables in the DB.

I thought it should not be complicated at all to write a small mysql script (few commands) to copy the users directly.

How did you do that ? (manually copying 500 users is no option at all)

Hey there,
I already have adding membergroups conversion for vbulletin on my todo list, but it's highly unlikely I will be able to look into it before next week.
Perhaps if somebody else has some time, might be able to help faster.

Even if half of a script is ready, we would be able to move forward.
