I'm trying desperatly to fix the time and date of the posts.

eg:

phpBB Posted: 2001 Mar 29 23:00:35

vBulletin Posted: 08-23-2034 04:00 AM

Could this have something to do with the Time Zone Offset or the format of times and dates that has been set in the options at the Admin centre?

Juan, it is not an error with the time-zone settings. It is something else. Either your phpBB Database is corrupt, or, I don't know. Please send me a link where I can download a SQL dump of your phpBB database. Or, send me a link to a copy of phpMyAdmin. If you do, I'll get on it right away.

Hi Nebula,

You are right, I found out what is causing the error. It's the format of the dates at phpBB, they are not standard. I need to convert those dates properly before it will work.

Don't worry, I think I have it under control now.

Are you using phpBB 1.4.0? Or, are you using a hacked version of phpBB 1.4.0? Tell me if what you did is because of you, or because of the way phpBB works. If it is because of phpBB, and not a hack, send me a copy of your dump so I can fix this. Thanks.

Nebula,

I would like to thank you for your import script, it's perfect. Don't forget to e-mail me your paypal details.

At last it has worked. Nothing wrong at all with your script, it was to do with the format of the dates from IB. After moving to phpBB, I had to run another script to change to the correct date format, then it just went very smooth.

I managed to go from IB to PphBB to Vbulletin without a single bug.

Too cool.

Goodie, I've been looking over the code every 2 hours or so hoping to realize what was wrong. Glad you fixed it.

::sigh::...my vBulletin expires 2nite, or tomorrow, however JelSoft does it.

ah, thanx for the new version. i will give it a go and let you know how it works :D

Hi,

It sounds like a great script!
I didnt test it yet, can i import from a phpbb that is NOT located on my server?

I guess the phpbb board owner will have to send me his DB right?

right.

Thanx John ;)
