Topic: Convert Old Fusion News To Cute News (18 replies, posted in Hacks & Tricks / FAQ)
*UPDATED 11/30/04 8:48 AM EST BUILD 110*
put this file in the data directory
copy the news folder from your fusion directory and put it in the cute news data directory
run this php script
*YOUR CURRENT NEWS WILL NOT BE LOST OR OVERWRITEN BY THIS SCRIPT*
*BUILD 110*
converts fusion bbcode to cute bbcode (instead of to html) it might not work 100% perfectly yet because i didnt put too much effort into it so the 109 build can be downloaded by clicking *BUILD 109* below
*BBC CONVERTER BUILD 102*
for those who used an older converter but still need the bbcode fix (101 might be a better choice, read the text for fuse2cute build 110 so you understand)
this will be the last bbcode build - after this if you need bbcode converted you'll have to redo your whole database
*BUILD 109*
fixed links and avatars
*BBC CONVERTER BUILD 101*
for those of you who already used the older converters, and had the bbcode problem
update fixes links
*BUILD 108*
shouldnt have any more timeouts, but a lot of waiting if you have a big database
fixed the bbcode conversions (cuz uh... i messed up?)
*BUILD 107*
script will now convert your old fusion bbcode to html
(cuz cute doesnt support fusions bbcode)
[BBC CONVERTER INTEGRATED INTO THIS SCRIPT]
*BBC CONVERTER BUILD 100 RELEASED*
for those of you who already used the older converters, and had the bbcode problem
*BUILD 106*
removed yes/no (now its just start, it wont erase anything)
*BUILD 105* [RELEASED, RECALLED FOR ERRORS DO NOT USE]
supports bringing fusions old comments to cute news
*BUILD 104* [UNRELEASED]
fixed the refresh after selecting no problem
fixed blank lines in cute txt files
*BUILD 103* [UNRELEASED]
supports commenting on old fusion news posts
*BUILD 102*
i realized fusion replaces
with &br; so i have fixed this to display properly with cute, if anyone knows of any others they would like fixed let me know
*BUILD 101*
i just added a but of a protection, so if you used the | character in any part of your fusion news it will convert it to ascii so it will still display properly (instead of confusing cutenews)
*IF YOU RECIEVE A TIMEOUT ERROR TRY THIS*
make a copy of /news/toc.php (call it /news/toc2.php)
open /news/toc.php and ERASE EVERYTHING IN IT
open /news/toc2.php and copy the top 50 lines of it into /news/toc.php
run the script
erase /news/toc.php and copy the next 50 lines from /news/toc2.php
run the script again
lather, rinse, repeat
(if you still time out with 50 try 25)
as always, everything is use at your own risk
