Duplicate posts importer-phpbb

arnaudw

Hello,

I am testing nodeBB which is the greater candidate to migrate our old phpBB forum
However we encounter a problem with the importer-phpbb (tested psychobunny, jskorepa version...)
Tested with version 1.0.3 (according to the documentation) and 1.0 and phpbb 3.0.7

Problem : during the convertion, topics are created with the initial message, but when it go on the posts populating step, first message is duplicated.

I had opened an issue on github @psychobunny but the problem seems to be global on all the importer-phpbb.

Thanks,
Arnaud.

Found *** a partial but incomplete *** solution
https://gist.github.com/psychobunny/5f0f25c6efdfc2df9d6d

Copy paste this in /src/routes/debug.js
Then start : ./nodebb dev

Run : http://yourforum/debug/remove-op

This clean the duplicate posts
But posts count is not updated. I will search for that.

EDIT : not clean, some topics with one post are empty now... and i didn't find for the moment how to update the postcount...

Found nothing interesting about this behaviour so i up this thread.
Some of ours posts are duplicated not the older ones... Strange.

You can have a look at https://beta.entiamot.com to see the convertion results with the duplicated posts.

Thanks.

Up !
Nothing better right now

The post count is stored in the topic:<tid> hash, where <tid> is replaced with a specific tid. You can update the number here.

Thanks @julian
Seems to be hard because you need to recompute the stats per user / global / topics / sub-forum...
Is there/will, maybe in the future, a global functionnality to run a complete recompute of all stats ?

julian

I don't think so... because that would be a band-aid on top, instead of fixing the underlying problem.

NodeBB to my knowledge properly keeps count of topics and posts... if it doesn't, please do let us know

Seems not ok if i change values in database, it keeps the wrong count in all stats
