RaxBoard Migrate — Add-on
A new release is now available on the RaxBoard Marketplace.
Version: 1.2.2 (build 12002)
Compatibility: RaxBoard >=1.4.0
What's new
# RaxBoard Migrate 1.2.2
Requires RaxBoard core 1.9.1.
## Added
- **Old XenForo sub-URLs now 301 to the right RaxBoard page.** XenForo hangs `/page-N`, `/post-ID`, `/latest`, `/unread` and `/feed` off every thread, and `/page-N` off every forum. Search engines index them by the hundreds; RaxBoard has no such URLs, so after an import they answered 404 and every indexed page 2+ lost its ranking. They are now redirected permanently:
- `/threads/title.591/page-3` goes to the matching `?page=` (converted from XenForo's 20 posts per page to your board's setting, clamped to the last page).
- `/threads/title.591/post-443` goes to the page holding that post, anchored on it. A post that was later moved to another thread follows it.
- `/threads/title.591/latest` and `/unread` go to the last post.
- `/threads/title.591/feed`, `/reply`, `/watch` and similar go to the thread itself.
- `/forums/title.5/page-2` goes to the forum's `?page=2`.
- The slug-less forms (`/threads/591/…`) and localised prefixes (for example `/konu/…`) are covered too.
- These redirects work in both id modes and do not need the `.htaccess` block. The block skips threads whose id did not change (they would redirect to themselves), so those threads' sub-URLs were the ones left broken.
- Ids are translated through the import map. An id the import never mapped (deleted or spam content) returns 404 instead of landing on an unrelated post. Hidden threads return 404, so the redirect never reveals their title.
## Fixed
- Import no longer stops on shared hosts that disable `set_time_limit` or `fsockopen`.
Note: the redirects are part of this add-on. Deactivating or uninstalling Migrate turns them off.
