Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted August 9, 20168 yr Has anyone here merged 2 separate IPS4 forums into a single forum before? You can merge a non IPS forum into an existing forum but no mechanism to put 2 IPS4 forums together. I've asked support and they have confirmed this. Want to know if anyone has done this outside of support?
August 9, 20168 yr There isn't a method to do so currently, this will be a future addition to the conversion application, however this portion of it isn't completed just yet. Short of a proper converter app to do so, the only other way would be to convert once of the sites to something that supports an IPS4 conversion, then once one is converted, convert the second one to the same site, then convert back to IPS4. Pretty much a circle jerk around the town and back to get it done, it would be better to wait a little while longer for a proper IPS Converter that supports this.
August 9, 20168 yr Author Yeah that's what I thought I would have to do. Any indication of when the conversation tool will have this update?
August 15, 20168 yr Author @Ryan Ashbrook any upcoming plans to update the migration tool to include a IPS4 -> IPS4 merge?

October 5, 20168 yr Author Hey guys, would love an update. Surely I can't be the only person around wanting to merge 2 IPS forums together?

Is there a way to currently do a merge outside of the conversation tool? I'm asking as I am currently discussing a potential merger atm and both forums are on IPS4 and wouldn't want to run them separately for an undetermined time.

That said, the 4.x converter has been "in the pipeline" for almost 2 years. For those holding off, is this coming in the 4th quarter or more like in v5.0?

It's still on our Converter roadmap that we're actively working through (the next version includes two new converters ). I wouldn't expect to see it before the end of 2016 though.

February 9, 20178 yr we are also waiting since months...! also for us, it's really urgent to have this possibility...
July 18, 20177 yr @Stuart Silvester @Rhett Any updates on the converter? It is now getting close to the end of 2017...
