In need of help: UBB 6.4 -> vB 2.2.9 converter

[Jon Adolfsson]

Hi there!

I got a serious problem. I've got a support ticket at vbulletin going but I thought I'd give you hackers a try. :)

When attempting to import UBB 6.4 data into our vBulletin 2.2.9 (and 2.3.0 RC3) installation, two problems occur:

1) No private messages are imported whatsoever.

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in <path to forum>\imports\bbimport_ubb6.php on line 1363"

I believe it was line 1362.

2) UBB code and tags in all posts are not converted into correct vB code and tags.

A friend of mine edited the import script real quick last night and added a few "eregi_replace" functions that were to convert the tags the right way, but unfortunately he didn't have the time to finish.

Information about our system setup:

Customer Number: ******** [removed by xenon]
Hardware: Compaq EVOW6000 2.4GHz Xeon, 2GB RAM, Windows 2000 Server SP3, HyperThreading OFF, 2x18GB U320 RAID 1
Current UBB version: 6.4.0
Current vBulletin version: 2.2.9
Mysql version: 3.23.54
Php version: 4.2.1
URL of current installation of vBulletin: http://99mac.com/vbulletin/

We're looking to move to vB soon, but we need this sorted out before we go ahead.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Jon

Yes this converter would be great.

There doesn't seem to be a way to down grade our ubb forum to 6.3, don’t even try to ask ubb for help. I think they are jealous of vBulliton which is all the reason to make this script and convert everybody to a real forum!!
