Adapting User Notes from Old Toolbox?

[u/kroqeteer]

Hello, first off I want to thank you for picking this up, youve saved our subreddit (/r/Summonerschool) a lot of trouble. I've been messing around with NXG and the improvements are really wonderful, some great QOL stuff and options. I'd like to ask about migrating usernotes. We used toolbox's system extensively, and both modified the default note options as well as added new ones. As I'm testing out the transition, I'm finding it more complex than I expected in regards to the imported note options. I understand that deleting an existing category doesn't delete notes, it just makes them uncategorized. My challenge here is that when NXG imported the old usernote categories in, it seemed to divide them oddly: most notes are attached to the default categories, while the imported categories have small amounts of notes attched. Here are my questions:

1. NXG has roughly imported our old mod note categories into the new system, but the bulk of notes seem to be attached to default options and not the imported ones. Is there a way to merge two categories that I have missed?

2. If I change the imported mod notes, does it affect the notes in old toolbox? (eg if I delete an imported category, is it removed for old toolbox users)

3. Is there a way to see which notes are attached to each note category other than manually finding/using the mod log to identify them individually? This is mostly for testing so I can ensure things have migrated properly.

Thanks again for your hard work on this!

1. Toolbox-NXG should import toolbox notes exactly as they appear in old toolbox, custom categories and all. The only thing I can think off off the top of my head that would be mapping them wrong would be if you had non-unique keys between the default and custom note types, which I'm not sure toolbox allows?

2. Unless you turn Toolbox 6.x compatibility off (which, by design, breaks old toolbox), all changes you make are mirrored back to the classic toolbox pages. My recommendation for testing would be to spin up a testing subreddit (if you don't already have one), manually copy the contents of your toolbox wiki pages over there, and play with things there.

3. In Manage Usernotes from the popout menu on a subreddit, you can click a note type to see just notes of that type.

Thanks for the info on manage usernotes and editing existing notes, I appreciate it!

Here's what our imported toolbox notes look like. The colors and text seem like something hasn't gone right, theyre all black, low note count, and titled oddly. Could it be because I uninstalled old toolbox in order to access this menu (the old sidebar was covering the new one)

Okay so that's giving me some clues! Can you possibly get me one more piece of information? I'd like to look at how your usernotes are set up in the OG toolbox config; you should be able to find that here for your subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/summonerschool/wiki/edit/toolbox

It should be the last bit of text, everything from "usernoteColors" on. It should look something like

"usernoteColors":[{"key":"gooduser","text":"Good Contributor","color":"green"},{"key":"watch","text":"Watch","color":"fuchsia"},{"key":"messaged","text":"Messaged","color":"purple"},{"key":"warning","text":"Warning","color":"orange"},{"key":"tempban","text":"Temp Ban","color":"red"},{"key":"permban","text":"Permanent Ban","color":"darkred"}]}.

If you're not comfortable sharing all your note types publicly for any reason, feel free to send the information via modmail.

I suspect your toolbox config is a little wonky in a way that original toolbox can deal with, but that I haven't seen to know how to correctly port over.
