h3. Redmine Messages
|_.Redmine Entry|_.BB Entry|

|subject|notre_posts->post_subject|
|content|notre_posts->post_text (need to get BLOB)|
|author_id|notre_posts->poster_id->notre_users->user_email->Users->mail->Users->id, if does not exist assign to anonymous|
|replies_count|Set all to 0 then check Notre_topics->topic_first_post_id and update that message with Notre_topics->topic_replies|
|last_reply_id|Set all to NULL then check notre_topics->topic_first_post_id->Redmine Messages->bb_post_id->id and update that message with notre_topics->topic_last_post_id->Redmine Messages->bb_post_id->id|
|created_on|notre_posts->post_time (may need a conversion)|

h2. Commands
h3. Make backups
First backup the tables that we will be modifying:
bq. mysqldump -u amber -p --skip-lock-tables --extended-insert redmine boards > boards-preport.sql
bq. mysqldump -u amber -p --skip-lock-tables --extended-insert redmine messages > messages-preport.sql
h3. Add temporary columns to the boards and messages tables
<pre>
ALTER TABLE boards
ADD bb_post_id int(11);
ALTER TABLE messages
ADD bb_forum_id int(11);
</pre>
h3. Add forums
<pre>
INSERT INTO redmine.boards (project_id, name, description, topics_count, messages_count, bb_forum_id)
SELECT redmine.projects.id, bb2.notre_forums.forum_name, bb2.notre_forums.forum_desc, bb2.notre_forums.forum_topics, bb2.notre_forums.forum_posts, bb2.notre_forums.forum_id
FROM redmine.projects, bb2.notre_forums
WHERE redmine.projects.identifier="leginon"
</pre>
Inserts 9 rows.
h3. Add Messages
<pre>
INSERT INTO redmine.messages (board_id, subject, content, locked, sticky, bb_post_id)
SELECT redmine.boards.id, bb2.notre_posts.post_subject, bb2.notre_posts.post_text, bb2.notre_posts.post_edit_locked, 0, bb2.notre_posts.post_id
FROM bb2.notre_posts, redmine.boards
WHERE bb2.notre_posts.forum_id = redmine.boards.bb_forum_id;
</pre>
inserted 603 rows.
h3. Add parent_id to messages
<pre>
UPDATE redmine.messages
SET redmine.messages.parent_id=redmine.messages.id
WHERE redmine.messages.id IN
(
SELECT redmine.messages.id
FROM redmine.messages
WHERE redmine.messages.bb_post_id IN
(
SELECT bb2.notre_topics.topic_first_post_id
FROM bb2.notre_topics
WHERE bb2.notre_topics.topic_id IN
(
SELECT bb2.notre_posts.topic_id
FROM bb2.notre_posts, redmine.messages
WHERE redmine.messages.bb_post_id = bb2.notre_posts.id
)
)
);
</pre>
To avoid a "bug with mySQL":http://emg.nysbc.org/projects/amigroup/wiki/Mysql_Nested_Subqueries_Problem , rewrite the above query:
<pre>
UPDATE redmine.messages
SET redmine.messages.parent_id=redmine.messages.id
WHERE redmine.messages.id IN
(
SELECT redmine.messages.id
FROM redmine.messages
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT bb2.notre_topics.topic_first_post_id AS TopicFirstPostId
FROM bb2.notre_topics
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT bb2.notre_posts.topic_id AS TopicId
FFROM bb2.notre_posts, redmine.messages
WHERE redmine.messages.bb_post_id = bb2.notre_posts.id
) AS TopicIds
ON bb2.notre_topics.topic_id = TopicIds.TopicId
) AS TopicFirstPostIds
ON redmine.messages.bb_post_id = TopicFirstPostIds.TopicFirstPostId
);
</pre>
h3. Convert Unix timestamps to ISO 8601 and add to messages
bb2.notre_posts.post_time, bb2.notre_posts.post_edit_time,
http://aruljohn.com/timestamp2date.html
h3. Add author_id to messages
h3. Add replies_count to messages
h3. Add last_reply_id to messages
h3. Create a backup of the tables
bq. mysqldump -u amber -p --skip-lock-tables --extended-insert redmine boards > boards-postport.sql
bq. mysqldump -u amber -p --skip-lock-tables --extended-insert redmine messages > messages-postport.sql
h3. Remove the temporary columns
<pre>
ALTER TABLE boards
DROP COLUMN bb_post_id;
ALTER TABLE messages
DROP COLUMN bb_forum_id;
</pre>
