Imports (Was: {brace yourselves} the import is coming {Spoiler Alert: Not all of it} [i.e. blakeyrat was not utterly wrong for the first time ever] Filed under: append-only titles.)
-
I don't think it's done either unless most of the topics are invisible.
No, there's no way it's done. For instance, I couldn't find the classic "The Empty String is null" thread in IHOC. But there are quite a few old IHOC threads in there, including the official membership one.
-
@PJH what does the topic count look like? According to the script, it imported all the posts.
You expect me to be awake/at a computer on a weekend around 0310 local time? What colour is the sky in your world?
We have something there but not everything it appears:
-
I guess no-one specified how many posts were getting imported.
-
Also could be to do with your settings:
Even with I haven't viewed them yet selected, I still stumble across active threads which Edscrousi has never shown me (the "Minor Irritations" and the "Knights of WTF" being the most recent examples I can think of...)
I don't know if there's a setting which is equivalent to "seriously now, let me see actually all of the topics, plx"...
-
When you sign up, your "Dismiss New" timestamp is set to your registration timestamp. Any topics created before you last pressed "Dismiss New" are never new.
-
If this is actually done, why are emails still disabled?
Hang on, I actually got an email notification overnight from Redsoursci, so maybe emails weren't disabled all night?
(Of course, I also have email notifications disabled, or at least I thought I did...)
-
Except for where the "New" counter in the topic list has phantom new topics when a "never will be new" topic gets a new post, as was the case this morning.
I mentioned it here.
-
I still get freaking Digests (though it might be my settings, need to check).
Also, I get like 90% of all email notifications some 5 minutes after I actually sat down in front of the computer and read all my notifications on Discourse...
-
The import will start tonight at 10PM EDT.
-
The script finished after like two hours.
-
The script finished after like two hours.
Then explain the major indigestion that continued until around 0900 GMT? (Not sure when it cleared up: it was bad for a couple of hours when I first woke up, I then had to run some errands for a while, and when I got back with some proper it was fine again.)
-
Scheduled jobs.
-
The script finished after like two hours.
Because it seems to have imported like 30 topics.
-
Given the import forecast was seventeen hours, something definitely went wrong.
-
I'd also expect a script which disables something at the start to re-enable it on successful completion.
-
Unless the disabling was a manual step
-
I'd also expect a script which disables something at the start to re-enable it on successful completion.
Why would you expect that?

-
At this point, I really have to ask the obvious question: is the import script actually named
godot.rb
?
-
Because the import script wasn't written by Discodevs?
-
-
Maybe he's a happy optimist?
That sounds like a good name for a TV (or at least YouTube) show.
The happy optimist - trying a new piece of crap every week and trying to find a single redeeming thing about it.
-
-
Well… it has “
go
” in the name…Somebody at least thought of that pun, but the reposotory is empty...
:(
-
-
Because all of the things must interface to all of the things.
-
That explains why we're always waiting for it.
You bastards are so high on the sarcasm scale I'm not even sure if anyone got it before this.
Well, I guess @tar did.
-
Yeah, I pushed the I understand this reference button.
-
Oh, so I push that one to appear to be smarter than I am? Noted.
-
Understand this reference, COMPLAIN! 0x10f8c39748
-
Now that I think of it ...
Shouldn't the Discodevs add a selection toaster for Auto/Instant close, too?
-
Why not import all old threads into a separate category?
-
Why not import all old threads into a separate category?
Why not import some small fraction of the old threads into a separate category?
-
That explains why we're always waiting for it.
That...probably has been the joke, yeah.
Filed under: unless the script has a strong penchant for coffee, but somehow I doubt it
-
we renamed that back to pin/unpin
-
The script finished after like two hours.
Can you explain what you mean by "finished." Because it seems pretty obvious that not everything made it. I don't know what the topic id sequence is up to, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out where it stopped. Of course, you'd need access to the CS backup and the script to figure out where it stopped there.
-
Hang on, I actually got an email notification overnight from Redsoursci, so maybe emails weren't disabled all night?
(Of course, I also have email notifications disabled, or at least I thought I did...)
Actually, I noticed that mine said "here is what happened since your last visit on 2015-03-14".I know I've been visiting here every day, so possibly the old server is still running in the background and sending out notices.

EDIT: Oh, wait, no emails. Nevermind.

Why not import all of the old threads AND all the new threads into phpBB?

@Lorne_Kates said:

Does phpBB have such advanced capabilities as "not fucking up a quotation by turning all the
<
s into<
s or otherwise ruining the formatting"?
-
Possibly. Maybe. Sometimes. It depends…
At least it couldn't get worse!
-
Can you explain what you mean by "finished."
I am pretty sure screen complained it crashed, not sure, ben will have to fill you in.
I am seeing some old topics
http://what.thedailywtf.com/t/cordless-phones-5-8/9371
But the vast majority did not come through
[9] pry(main)> Topic.where("created_at < ?",2.years.ago).count => 232
The import process is taking out postgres, memory ends up running tight on the site and it crashes.

Famous last words...

I may be wrong, but that surely should have been something found while testing the import script?

Oh, was there testing?

You'd think.
@ben_lubar ?
-
Seems like there's a minor case of Server Cooties™ happening. @sam can you see anything?
-
I think @ben_lubar started running the import again
