Plan for Converting Status Updates in V5?

[Dreadknux]

Hi guys

(Sorry for cross-posting, I didn't realise that the old topic I asked about this was in the now-closed Alpha Club)

As we're in Beta phase, I wanted to raise this topic again and see if there has been any more thought given to this? It'd be great to keep an archive of status updates somehow instead of simply disappearing them; if there's no plans then I'll need to look into a third party solution, so it'd be good to know the first-party plans so I can arrange things on my side accordingly. Thanks!

Nothing has really changed from what Matt mentioned in the post you link to there. At present there isnt any plan to convert these to any other type

What do we want to see? Converting status updates into a specific forum with one topic per person and each status update a comment, and each reply to that status update a quoted reply?

That could work, yeah!

I was thinking, personally, that each status update would be its own topic in a specific forum (rather than a single topic for all of one user's statuses) and every status update comment would translate to a (quoted) reply within that topic. But I'm happy for a solution like you suggested as well, it might actually be cleaner that way!

Let me know if something like either of the above is possible at all on the Invision side. Thanks @Matt! 😀

There is a solution though it's not gonna work in bulk but rather individual statuses.

Yeah, that's a nice solution for people who want to save specific statuses, but that's not gonna work for me, lol. Trying to archive 13+ years worth of status updates one by one will take me an ice age. 🙂

Hopefully the solution Matt proposed could be looked into as I can definitely work with something like that.

Our site has just been upgraded to 4.7. We use the Status Updates a lot so when the time comes to look at V5, we will be reaching out to a 3rd party developer to create an application to mimic the existing Status Updates.  

That's just my input.

We need the same solution for tickets as well... we can't loose the ticket history for audit perspective. If we can convert tickets to private category -> Topics and posts, would be perfect.
