Ikonboard to Vbulletin converter

[Juan]

Hi,

Is anyone working on a script to convert members/posts from Ikonboard to Vbulletin?

I know one might be released in 1-2 months but I can't wait that long.

There is one that converts from Ikonboard to phpBB. Anyone has any ideas as how this can be done?

I'm really desperate as I cannot use Vbulletin until then.

Here is the code that converts members from Ikonboard to phpBB, I am sure that someone with enough knowledge can modify it to work with Vbulletin.

I'm trying to get it done miself, but I'm no expert. Any help would be appreciated.

I used this exact script, written by Nicola Asuni (for converting Ikonboard users to Phpbb), modified it for the vbulletin layout in MySQL. It worked for me. One thing:

$password = trim($member[1]);

this part was originally this:

$user_password = md5(trim($member[1]));

See that md5 thingy, well that's some hash kind of thing and it worked ok like that for converting to Phpbb, but when I changed this for vBulletin, the passwords did not work. So I got rid of the md5 part. When you look at your database you will see the actual password, not an encrypted looking thing.

Anyway, have fun. I will post the Topic convert if and when I get it to work.

I've just tested it and it does work.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this script. There is also a code to convert the posts and forums written by the same author, you'll find it at http://www.phpbb.com/download.php

Great, this has made my day.

No problem, I am glad it worked for you!

An official IkonBoard to vBulletin converter is in the works.

Once ready it will be in the member's area.
