Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
sunddebat Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I have converted from VB5 to IPS 3 and then upgraded to IPS4, but there's no old private messages available when you check your profile. I can see that their all in the database and adding new messages work. Any idea ?
Paul.F Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 When you converted, did it come up with any errors on the conversion screen? Did you do a rebuild after the conversion? Finalization.
sunddebat Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 Hi Paul No and Yes. No errors. I can see that the messages are linked to their old member id's and when converting they all got new ones.I can also see that theres a table called conv_link that can link old and new member ID. I just don't know it they at some point will be linked somehow. The background processes are still running (it takes quite a while).
Paul.F Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 If you still have issues after the background processes have finished I can have a look for you if you like. Have done the same for a few people here. Just PM me.
sunddebat Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 Actually it might just be my own messages, because I can't seem to find any of those in the database. Probably because my old admin ID was 1 as was the admin account I setup the new IP board with.
sunddebat Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 I got another user to test and unfortunately it's not just me. Apparently my userID 1 was changed to 2 and the messages is there just not shown. I hope the background processes will fix this, but they take a while.
sunddebat Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 The processes have finished unfortunately they ended by deleting my core_message_post. Luckily I allready experimented with dublicates, exchanging the user ID's with the new ones, but I can only see the messages I sent and not the ones I received. What have I done wrong ?
sunddebat Posted October 5, 2015 Author Posted October 5, 2015 I tried to start over and convert to a fresh IPB 3 and this time the messages seem to be there, but the coverter only imported about 15000 out of 24000 and still only the ones that I have started and not the ones others have started
