phpBB2 Importer
 

Heya everyone. This is a beta release of my importer that converts phpBB2 (RC4 or greater) into vBulletin. It should convert into vBulletin 2.2.0 or greater.

To install the script:[list=1][*]Download bbimport_phpbb2.php from this post (You can only download it if you have entered your username in the vBulletin Members Area, DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME ASKING ME TO SEND IT TO YOU!!)[*]Open your FTP program of choice, and upload it to the /importers directory in your vBulletin folder (You may need to create this folder if you have never run an importer before)[*]Log into your vBulletin Control Panel[*]On the left navigation pane, find the 'Import & Maintenance' section, and click on 'BB Import Systems'[*]In the page that loads, select 'phpBB2 RC4+', and click 'Begin Import'[*]Follow the instructions from there[/list=1]
Post your results here! Let me know anything that goes wrong, or your success story ;)

Current Version: 0.9.5.2

Good job! Always good to have more importers, especially for phpBB2. :)

no problemo. I need it tested though. Can you remove the '(BETA)' part in the thread name though? I can only edit the post subject. And, since it's in the beta forum, it goes without saying ;)

Done! :)

Ah, thank you ;)

BTW...sweet avatar smachol!

Thanks!

Version 0.6 is out. vBulletin was being picky with reuploading a new file with the same name, so it's now zipped. Here's a changelog:

• Fixed theme prefixing not working
• Added option to skip import of SubSilver Theme
• Added option for admin to choose what style users see on their first visit
• Table Prefixing now works correctly
• Gallery Avatars can now be imported

Enjoy ;)

Is there a stable vB to phpBB importer? Maybe I can test this script using that.

ya at http://www.phpbb.com/downloads.php at the bottem its stable, of couse it doesnt do the attachments, yet to look into it,

Nice job man. I'm going to try this on cheatlist right now :)
