Internet points are arbitrary and fake, but people are interested in them. Reddit is a great example of this. Quote Link to comment
cheekygeek Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 So you are attempting to migrate from Invision (a php/mysql application) to Xenforo (a php/mysql application). With this free program (sql buddy) and a database username/pw for READ ACCESS you can look at the database schema of both applications and figure out how to map the data. http://sqlbuddy.com/ Each user in Invision clearly has a database field that contains the "member's total reputation" and another database field that contains the total number of posts. It is just a matter of finding the corrosponding fields in Xenforo and importing from Invision to Xenforo. In my opinion, this should be done with Xenforo installed on a completely different domain: whatever.com Once you see that all has gone well and whatever.com looks the way you want, then you just point the domain name huskerboard.com over to the whatever.com and delete whatever.com. For that matter, it could be done in a SUBFOLDER of huskerboard.com (huskerboard.com/xenforo/) and when the operation is complete just repoint huskerboard .com to /xenforo/ as the root folder. Everything else would remain the same underneath that. 5 Quote Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I really like the way the board 'looks' now so aesthetically I am glad there won't be any big changes! Quote Link to comment

JK Instead I will +1 in case the rep points carry over! Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 So, the conversion and changes are announced. Everyone gets upset and complains. We go through the conversion and nobody even noticed the board was down and any changes have been so minor most people can't even notice......and people are bitching. Some people can't be satisfied. 1 Quote Link to comment
