SMF merge script

[JavaJones]

Have been PM'ing with some people involved. It's "in progress" but no timeline.

I've got $100 on this script. Anyone else in? We can setup a contribution pool/bounty, any amount will help! Although they've said money won't make it go faster.

hmm, I took a script that Oldiesmann provided,  fixed the code and added attachments and a couple of missed bits - successfully merged 2 SMF forums.

However, it was done on 2 forums with the same user database, so the merging of members and PMs is untested.

Hmm, that's highly intriguing. Is there an easy way to maintain posts and poster name without having them associated with an actual user? If so I'd be willing to discard the user database of one of my forums as long as I could keep all posts.

This was done 3 months ago - to date, we haven't seen any irregularities in the merged forum.  We also had to convert 2 different types of DragonflyCMS forums before we merged (and converted a DragonflyCMS coppermine database), so we had some challenges.

In theory it should work just as well with merging the user databases - I just haven't tested it because I had no need for it.  Just duplicate your site and a database and test to be sure.

I fixed the code issues and left the extra member and PM stuff commented out.
btw, when I say "fixed", that's no reflection on Oldiesmann - quite obviously he just threw some untested code together on the fly, and made it clear it was untested

Download Here - code restored for full conversion.

If it does the job, please donate to Oldiesmann - whilst I modified the original considerably, I wouldn't have known where to start without his original.

Any update on this? I still have a great need for this, with integrated users preferably. Still have money on it, too. My timeline is more flexible now, but I'd like to do the project that depends on this within the next few months for sure.

Thanks!

I did try it, but I tried it on 1.1.1 which was a no go, since the thing is for RC3.
