Sebbo78 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 1) I would like to convert only my old vbulletin blogs. Would it be possible to choose what to convert? 2) I´m using right now your cloud service. Will that prevent using those converters? Can i try it at some point by myself?

AndyF Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 1. Id' assume (unless its changed) you could in theory just convert members etc and VBBlog to IP.Blog ignoring Forums. 2. You'd want a separate database for the VB source to be read from (converter only ever reads never writes to source) so with Cloud you'd only have one db (your IPS community) however the best answer to (2) is to open a ticket to ask about this, something might be possible to be arranged for you to do this if needed, I'm not sure. 23 minutes ago, Charles said: A beta version of the IPS4 direct converters is now available: @Charles , is there a 'current' list of what third party software the IPS4 Converters will support ? I guess I'm just asking if more 'sources' are being added compared to say the 3x series Converter. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can convert on our hosting, in fact here is a guide for this process https://www.invisionpower.com/support/guides/_/install-and-getting-started/how-to-convert-from-other-software-on-ips-hosting-r302 When you run a conversion you must run the complete conversion, you can then clean up or remove any items you don't want to retain.

Bluto Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 @Ryan Ashbrook does this converter support merging forums? Or will I have to merge my 3.4 forums before upgrading to 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluto Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 @Rhett got back to me in a support ticket. The new converter does not support merging of v4 forums yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
