Move users and torrents
 

Hi...
I'm no coder at all, I'm just founder and paying all bills for the tracker. :coffee:

My coder is telling me there probably will be a small problem getting my 6k users and 4k torrents from the old db into the new we're making now.
The source used today is 'special made' by a 'devoted' coder and we need something better. The 'devoted' coder is not letting anyone into his source.

We did download the folder 'mysql' incl. folder 'tracker' - hoping that is enough as a start.


Will there be any problems moving users/torrents?

First task is match all the columns up so you have same amount of columns in old table as your importing into U232; Next part to determine is if your time values are DATETIME or INT if they are DATETIME they need converted to INT; Users will more and likely have to use the recover.php script to get back in as passhash is totally different; Next torrents table needs matched per columns same again DATETIME needs to be INT if thats the case; Infohash may be a problem but its one that can be worked around no doubt if its an issue, i don't know its one you wont know until your committed but its no a major job if you set it up correctly;

I can do that for some bucks. :muscle:

Thanks a lot, Bigjoos. :ok: (Nice piece of work you did here.)

@ alax -- I'll return if/when my coder gets any problem. ok..

querys you'll need to use if transfering from DATETIME to INT are all on my forum if you need it

My coder need some help to put my tracker online... He says it's db-issues.

Anyone?

We're both on irc server freequest #newtracker developing
