Title: How to transfer registered users to new version
Post by: theAntagonist on 16 February, 2013, 23:42:52
I'm playing around with the latest version of ptokax (0.5.0.0), and one of the big changes was making the registered user DB a binary file instead of the old XML style.  This is problematic when trying to transition over a hub that's been running on the previous version.  Is there any provided way to convert the old xml user file to the new binary version?

Do you tryed to run PtokaX 0.5.0.0 ? That is all what you need to do to convert xml registered users to binary :P You don't even notice that something changed ;D

Thanks for the reply!  So let me make sure I understand correctly. :)  If I remove the new hub's (0.5.0.0) RegisteredUsers pbx file, and copy my old hub's (0.4.1.2) RegisteredUsers.xml in its place, the new hub will read it and convert it?  I tried renaming the RegisteredUsers.xml to be pbx, but it wouldn't accept it...

Yes when you remove pxb file then regs will be loaded from xml  ;)
