Invision offers more than a few forum software importers. I believe you can even import WordPress. But if you are looking to import a different product, you may need one developed. The overall answer to your question is yes. niKee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually (almost) any content from any database can be converted. Out of the box? It depends on what the source is (was it a forum?). But even if a current important does not exist, you can have one developed. niKee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linux-Is-Best Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 @niKee to follow-up. If you are looking to import something that was not previously a forum or a forum not currently supported, if it is essential to you and worth the cost and time to have it developed, you can inquire about having an importer developed here https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/forum/506-requests/ niKee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear I believe they are talking about a pages database to a topic which is not natively possible. niKee and Linux-Is-Best 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a possibility. I had only taken their question at face value. niKee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which at face value, to me, is a database record from the pages app to a forum topic since this is an IPS support forum. 😉 niKee and Linux-Is-Best 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing unusual at face value. 😉 niKee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
