This extends the **MyLittleForum (MLF) importer** with several optional features to make migrations more complete and reliable. ### New Features (optional via environment variables) **Uploads import**: supports attachments and images from the MLF uploads table. - Imported uploads are stored with relative links, ensuring they continue to work even if the forum domain changes. - **Legacy link rewriting**: absolute links (`index.php?id=...`) are converted into working Discourse permalinks. - Rewritten links are also created as relative links, so they remain valid after a domain move. - **Parent category option**: all imported MLF categories can be placed under a chosen existing category. - **Upload repair pass / incremental imports:** already-imported posts can be rescanned to fix broken or newly available upload references, allowing the importer to be run again later with a more up-to-date dataset. - **Relaxed upload constraints**: temporarily increases file size limits and allows all extensions during the import step. ### Other Improvements - Adjusted for MyLittleForum 2.x schema changes (e.g. `user_location` instead of `user_place`). - User import now respects already staged users; avoids errors that would otherwise occur when trying to create them again. - Improved BBCode → Markdown conversion: lists and quotes are converted more reliably. - Especially improves handling of quotes at the beginning of posts and ensures following text is not mistakenly included in the quoted block. - Thread interlinking restored: legacy links between threads are now rewritten to point to the correct Discourse topics. ### Environment Variables - `PARENT_CATEGORY` – import all categories under an existing Discourse category. - `REWRITE_LINKS` – rewrite absolute legacy links. - `UPLOADS_DIR` – path to the MLF uploads directory (flat namespace). - `REPAIR_UPLOAD_LINKS` – repair pass for already-imported posts with links. - `LOOSEN_UPLOAD_CONSTRAINTS` – relax upload size/extension checks during import and increases file size limits and allows all extensions during the import step.
