I know I just made up that term (probably) but it sounded right lol

Here is what I have. 1 site with address [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] I want to transfer the information in the encylopedia and member profiles to site [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Can this be done? if so what files do I need to re write/move to the new site?

Thanks

Eric

Does the site 123.tv have data in it already? Have you installed Ravennuke on it? If not you could just dump and restore your current MYSQL tables and copy over the Ravennuke files including encyclopedia and memberlist? I think that's what you mean by member profiles. If you already have data on 123.tv you will need to merge the encyclopedia and user tables in. If you don't have a given table you can just dump and restore it from the old site, if you do then you will need to add the data. If you don't have those modules for some reason you can always add them and RN will recognize them. You may need block files for those modules too.

A lot depends on what you already have in place.

both sites are Raven the second site is a fresh install. the member profile I am talking about is the site members password file (sorry I am about 2 IQ points from being a chimp and realy don't know codeing)

Unless someone thinks of an alternative the site members password file probably equals the users table. In that case, you'd need to dump and restore that on the new site.
