SonsOfIvy Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 We're not sure what to do. Any thoughts? We're dead in the water. Thanks in advance. Â
Jim M Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 The browser conversion tool can take some time to operate as it is slower, especially on larger database sizes. If you reload the page, do you see any progress? Do you have access to your server via SSH? If so and you have a large database, it may be better to utilize the CLI tool to complete this process.
SonsOfIvy Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 No ready access via SSH. Reloading the page throws this error: Â Error: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given File: /system/Convert/Convert.php Line: 552 Does that suggest anything? Â
Jim M Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 Unfortunately, that would indicate a data issue inside the database. I'm afraid, version 3 is no longer supported, and this includes upgrades as these legacy upgrades generally turn into data conversion issues from previous third party data and more. To obtain assistance with your upgrade, I would recommend reaching out to one of the following third party providers:Â https://invisioncommunity.com/third-party/providers/?advanced_search_submitted=1&sortby=primary_id_field&sortdirection=asc&content_field_124[1]=9
SonsOfIvy Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 How odd. There is no previous third party data .
SonsOfIvy Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 "version 3 is no longer supported, and this includes upgrades" Did we miss this in the documentation before we spent $250?

SonsOfIvy Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 "version 3 is no longer supported, and this includes upgrades" Did we miss this in the documentation before we spent $250? And when we ran the requirements checker that only indicated that we needed to update our PHP version?

Legacy upgrades would need to be facilitated by third parties if you run into issues. Version 3 has not had any support for some time now.
SonsOfIvy Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 That's not what the documentation indicated. Who do I contact about a refund for software I can't use?

The software you purchased (version 4) is supported but upgrading from version 3 (which you are on) would require that you work with a third party provider to get you there if you encounter issues. Version 3 is not supported. I'm afraid, as you downloaded the software, we are unable to provide a refund per our terms of service.
SonsOfIvy Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 First, it's the license key that has the value, not the download. Second this is your own documentation:  Quote  Upgrading from IP.Board 3 to Invision Community 4 If you are upgrading from IP.Board 3 to Invision Community 4, there are special considerations you should take. 3.x items that are not compatible with 4.x: Skins Skin images Third party hooks Third party applications Languages All base data, including: members, forums, topics, posts, etc. will remain intact and upgrade to Invision Community  We proceeded in good faith based on your published documentation.

Randy Calvert Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 Your best bet would be to contact the accounts team. Â The support team cannot help with refunds, etc. Â https://invisioncommunity.com/contact-us/ Jordan Miller 1
SonsOfIvy Posted April 26, 2022 Author Posted April 26, 2022 Thanks. I'm not seeing the accounts team on that page.
Randy Calvert Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 I would just fill it out and the staff can route it to the correct area. Jordan Miller 1
Marc Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 While we have legacy documentation for people who which to attempt an upgrade themselves form the 3.x product, we no longer support that product unfortunately. We have not supported that for a considerable amount of time. I can certainly get a ticket open to our management team if you would like me to do that?
Jordan Miller Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 Hey @SonsOfIvy! I'm sorry you're feeling a bit frustrated. You mentioned a refund, which I'll have the team look into. I created a ticket with our team regarding the details in this topic. We'll followup with you via email 😊Â
