All posts are marked as NEW after migration

Issue Summary

After migrating all forum posts appear as NEW in the drupal-tracker.

This is of course unwanted because these posts might be new to drupal but they are also a few years old!

Is it possible NOT to mark them as new somehow?

If yes then shouldn't this be a feature of this module?

Thnx in advance!

#1

Since the drupal uses drupal functions to create the posts and comments, it is afaik not possible to create them to already be in a "read" state.

What you may be able to do is use some database query at the end to mark them all as read - as for what query, not sure.

#2

Do you have any idea or any hint in what db-table this status is saved?

I will have a look, but this will be my first contact with a drupal database

#3

The history table.

This page may be interesting: http://chrismorgan.info/development/drupal/modules/markasread/6 but it needs to be extended to work for all users.
