So it seems like your tool has ported the Discussions table and this has all the private messages titles in it, with the posts for these private discussions being in the posts table. I have installed FoF Byōbu that allows private message for Flarum but none of my old messages are showing. Flarum seems to denoted private messages with a 1 in the is_private column of discussion table and all the other private messages have the same.. Should this work do you know? or does that data coming in have to be altered to work with that plugin! |

There is an argument that I should just create the tables preemptively, I'm just concerned about the drift of trying to keep up with a million plugins updating table structures over time will mean I'm always chasing an issue somewhere. OTOH, kinda lame to lose content you weren't expecting to lose. A good compromise might be to log when an import is skipped when export data was available. |

I 100% understand.. and hey I 100% appreciate your time and effort on this. You have helped our community out a lot by creating this tool. I am looking to see what fund we have for this migration, some will be going your way! |
