Hi,
It must be run from shell, but if you type perl import.pl it prints out:
Quote:
Gossamer Forum Importer
Usage:
./import.pl --type={WWWThreads|WWWThreads-PHP|UBB|vBulletin} --source=/path/to/forum [any others of the following options]
Options are:
--clear-database
Clear the Gossamer Forum database before importing data.
--append-data
If your Gossamer Forum database already has users, it will add any posts, messages, etc to the existing Gossamer Forum user. If this is not turned on, any conflicting users/data will not be added or will be treated as deleted. You probably want to use this option if you are resuming a failed import.
--close-forums
If the imported forum supports it, it will be closed so that no new messages, etc can be created while the import is running. To use this, you must have permissions to modify the appropriate configuration files. This will also close Gossamer Forum.
--add-bad-email
Any users with invalid email addresses will be added (as opposed to being deleted), but their account disabled.
--debug
Turn on debugging. To increase the debug level, use more --debug's (up to 4 levels).
1: Minimal debug output.
2: + Summaries of imported data.
3: + Imported data.
4: + SQL queries.
--logfile=/path/to/logfile
Log debug and other information to this logfile.
--help
Display this help screen.
Let me know if that doesn't make sense.
Cheers,
Alex
