    @phenomlab unfortunately true, as the amount of work involved in getting the exporter working is not trivial at all.

    Whether we built it from scratch or updated the existing exporter (which was built against a very old version of Flarum), the cost would still be the same.

    Hello all!

    I've been recently looking into NodeBB and I'm now considering switching my current Discourse forum to NodeBB. Both are self hosted.

    However, I haven't been able to figure out a way to do that successfully.
    I've tried using https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import and https://github.com/BenLubar/nodebb-plugin-import-discourse to no avail.

    I'm not well versed in SQL (Postgre or Mongo), so the instructions on https://community.nodebb.org/topic/6818/switching-from-discourse/4 are a bit challenging - especially where you need to prefix all of the table names.

    If you have the time to help a beginner, I'd be grateful!

    @julian said in Duplicate posts importer-phpbb:

    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 😢

    Found the solution, importing too much topics in a single category hangs the nodebb, import some data than move it to some temporary category. Thasn import remaining data, meanwhile delete mongodb import Garbaze in using these mongo commands

    db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_tid:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_uid:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_cid:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_slug:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_locked:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_path:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_title:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_content:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_guest:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_ip:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_user_slug:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_user_path:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_category_path:1}},{multi: true}); db.objects.update({},{$unset: {_imported_category_slug:1}},{multi: true});

    But keep in mind this will also delete the history of import will result in duplicate categories get imported or the posts, to prevent this keep writing post ids and category ids which you imported and delete them from the old database.
