Thank you for your answer. This solutions should work, if you just want to migrate data for the first time. But afterwards it is not possible?It seems to be very complicated to switch the version in a running system or you need to install it again. Is there no other solution to migrate data for the latest nodebb forum? At the moment i dont know the datastructure of the old forum and we need to write a script to migrate the data

Hi,

we must migrate an existing forum to nodebb forum and they want allow guest users to create new Topics and Posts. How can I achieve this with nodebb? In the priviledges sections the fields are disabled.

Best regards,

Nadine

Hi, I've tried to test this nodebb-plugin-import with the latest nodebb version, but if i call the plugin view in the admin-dashboard, I got the error : Plugin not loaded and I cant click any buttons. Is it only possible to use this plugin for a lower nodebb -version and is there any other product I can use to migrate data in the latest version?
Because of setup errors, we think about using cloud nodebb instead of self hosting, but at the moment I am not sure how to import data from another forum with a complete different datastructure.

Hello people,

i installed the plugin "Nodebb Plugin Import" and activate it in the admin-dashboard. If I call /admin/plugins/import in the frontend, I see the view of the plugin. But if I click the button "toggle pre-import settings" or "dont flush Nodebb DB, just import" nothing happens. I would except some error messages, if I forgot some relevant inputs, but it just seems not to react to my input.

In the developer console I see the message:

"error loading "admin/plugins/import"

I've already rebuild nodebb via /nodebb build and restart the application and upgrade the nodebb version to the latest, and I use node v20.11.0.
Maybe there is a problem with the current version?

In the nodebb log there is following warning:

"the following plugins may not be compatible  with your version of NodeBB. This may cause unintented behaviour of crashing." and i should run a command to disable the plugin, but this is not the solution for me :)

Could you please assist me, please?

Thank you in advance,

Nadine

yeah, thank you. I've solved it with deleting the database. In the logs I found the error of skipping the creation of the admin user, because it already exists.

Hi, I cloned the github-repo https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB and I used postgres to install the forum. Now I want to access the admin-dasboard, but I don't know how to configure an admin account. I searched for an answer, but I have not solved my problem yet. There is no prompt for admin credentials on setup nodebb via terminal. If I try to use the "Webinstaller", I got the error the process /Port is already in use, but I don't know how to kill the process (i am on mac and it restart the process after terminating it).

Can you please assist me?

Thank you very much!

Nadine
