Hey Malcom, thanks for your quick reply,
Added heroes to addressees to my reply (this message).
We are looking for: - the full contents of - all posts (original posts + replies) - thread titles (unless it's already included in original posts) - of the [2017-1-1, 2020-12-7] (Dec 12 of this month) period. - exported to json
Somewhat doable?
Hi Adrien Please keep the forum-admin group in the reply, there are two other Admins to keep in the conversation.
My only concern would be having to take the forums offline for such a data dump.
But again, are there some specific metrics your after? Seems to me a crafted sql query would also reduce the data amount?
@Jim & Gertjan any other thoughts or concerns?
I think a database dump like this would be possible without taking the forums offline - it may even be possible to export from the admincp. Exported to JSON might require data transformation - but I think you've got it covered in terms of looking for information about what the metrics are that are being sought. It's possible that data might be available even without doing a database dump. -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits
