Getting an error when converting Invision Community 4.7.0

[Cowboy Denny]

Could it be something else then the language pack?  It appears I have the same error when trying to convert eventguyz.net to hosangit.com

TypeError: timezone_name_from_abbr(): Argument #2 ($utcOffset) must be of type int, string given (0)

Any help is very much appreciated

Thank You

Its unlikely. Have you checked you are using a default unaltered pack?

[Cowboy Denny]

Yes, it says custom but I haven't customized anything with language packs.   This guy can only speak English..  🙂

[Marc Stridgen]

I would suggest creating a new language pack and switching to that pack. This will ensure you dont have anything at all customised

I tried what you suggested and no difference, same error.  What I did was:

Customization - LOCALIZATION - Lanugages

Create New

English (USA)

Make default is checked

disabled old one that even though fresh install of Invision Community 4.7.0 it showed English (USA) customized

So as to save confusion here, I have split this into its own topic. Please let us know the exact step you encountered the error on, and ensure you access details on file is up to date

[Marc Stridgen]

I have spoken to my colleague on this, and this is something we will need to resolve. It seems its an issue with PHP 8. Please try this on 7.4 if you wish to do this in the meantime

[Stuart Silvester]

Thank you for letting us know, this issue will be addressed in an upcoming release. As @Marc Stridgen mentions, if you can use PHP 7.4 for this, you will be able to work around the issue.

[Cowboy Denny]

Thanks guys...  I changed from php 8.0 to php 7.4 and restarted the conversion process and it immediately has made much much more progress.  I am going to assume its going to work based on what I see so far but if anymore errors I'll post them but either way I'll let you know if this is fixed or other issues

[Cowboy Denny]

Just a quick update.  So it looks like it completed but something odd is it didn't carry over any blogs..  nothing from the clubs, nothing from the main site.  It appears as though blogs was just straight up excluded.

Is this an expected result?

[Marc Stridgen]

It depends on what you have converted from as to what is included in the conversion. If you look near the bottom of this page, and then select your software from the dropdown, it will tell you exactly what converts

https://invisioncommunity.com/services/migrate/

[Cowboy Denny]

Thank You @Marc Stridgen, it shows that migrating from IP 4.7.0 to IP 4.7.0 Blogs are not included which is so weird and unexpected since its the same software and version but I'm not as smart as you guys so I'll do manual.  Probably take me a month of copy and paste but its the price we pay when we change our minds on where you want stuff hosted (which domain).

Thanks again for all your help

[Marc Stridgen]

Hold your thought there. You are doing this only because you are moving hosts? If so, you dont need to do a conversion in any way. You would simply move the site

 

[Cowboy Denny]

Thanks..  I've done what you are talking about before but in this case I'm apparently trying to make things as hard as possible for me since I must not have anything else to do. lol

My business site (EventGuyZ) is suppose to be just for Event related items like our Box Office software, Count Room software (both that work on Invision Community) as well as our DJ and Minister and all that stuff.  Well it also started to collect I.T. related items that are definitely not Event related so I'm trying to move those items off onto hosang I.T. website since it just confuses people on our Event website.

Only way I could think of doing it (thought the lazy way) would be to do a conversion (copy everything over from eventguyz to hosang I.T.) and then just delete the event specific stuff from hosang I.T. but I'm realizing much of the I.T. stuff is blog related so I have to copy anyhow so as I type this I realize I probably took the wrong approach but I didn't know blogs didn't carry over.

That's the long winded response but I do appreciate your advice in the event I was just moving to a new site but unfortunately not that easy.

[Marc Stridgen]

Even in that scenario, copying the site by doing a 'move' then deleting what you dont need is a much much quicker approach
