Re: [WWdevel] maa webwork site? -- archived forum posts have bad dates.

[Michael G. <ga...@ma...>]

Hi Gavin,

I'm not sure that it can be for the old messages.  It appears that  
there is data loss when transferring the forums around.

I still have the original forums saved (including the ones from  
webhost) -- however we'll need to figure out a way to transfer the  
information in such a way that it preserves dates.  Backup and  
restore in moodle -- the usual way to transfer module data from one  
course to another does not preserve dates -- this must be a bug but I  
don't see it mentioned in the moodle forums.

The dates on the archived messages will not be accurate in any case  
since they were re-entered by Arnie.  I still have the original data  
on webhost if someone can come up with a better transfer method.

Take care,

Mike
