Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
Dean Spencer Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Hello, I have an issue when converting from XenForo to IPS. Issue 1: When I'm converting I get asked the path to the Avatars, it gives a hint that the path is: /data/avatars I type that in and it tells me it's not correct. Not matter what I type in it's not correct. Now when I type only / then it lets me move on but it doesnt bring any avatars. Issue 2: When I convert from 1.5.20 to 4.3.3 it converts the topic names, status updates and so on but when I click on a topic on the address bar the topic ID is 0 and I get an error message. The only suitable fix I had found was to convert from 1.5.20 to 3.4.9 then upgrade to 4.3.3 and I can see the topics. but I'd like to know why when converting from 1.5.20 to 4.3.3 the topics give an error message. For now I deleted it all and went back to using XenForo until I can find a solution for this here.

The path needs to be the absolute path to where these items are stored on your server. i.e. /home/user/forum/data/avatars (it's different for everyone, so you'll need to find out where they are on your server). 18 minutes ago, Dean Spencer said: Issue 2: When I convert from 1.5.20 to 4.3.3 it converts the topic names, status updates and so on but when I click on a topic on the address bar the topic ID is 0 and I get an error message.

These are placeholders that get replaced/recalculated by background tasks that run after you click 'finish' (after you've completed the entire conversion).
