Invision Power Board 1.1 Importer needs testing
 

The importer is now available in the Members Area at

http://www.vbulletin.com/members/imports.html
or
http://www.vbulletin-germany.com/members/imports.html

I have heard all the requests for an Invision Power Board 1.1/1.2 import script and now it is done (I hope).
It is possible that it could work with all vB 2.2.x versions but I have tested it only with vB 2.2.9+. I don't know how much bbimport.php changed over the versions and if it will work with older ones.

It imports users, custom avatars, usergroups, buddys, categories, forums, threads, posts, attachments, polls, private messages, private message folders, subscribed forums and subscribed threads.

To make it easy to use it is written as a plugin like all the other official importers.


Requirements: vBulletin and IPB 1.1/1.2 on the same MySQL server. It doesn't matter if they are in the same or in different databases (but different databases need the same MySQL user/pass).

3 days late for me :-/

But i still have my old IPB boards online if you would like to test it.

I have vB 2.2.9 and inVision 1.1

if you need someone tester or whatevers.. you could send PM to me and i wish helped to you :)

like wise i have an old ib database on my server and am now running vb 2.2.9

Is it a 1.1 database?

I am sure that the import script is not compatible with IPB 1.0.1 because of all the changes between 1.0.1 and 1.1.

its 1.1 rc 1 :D and it was converted from 1.0.1 after they released 1.1 :D

You are going to be loved by a lot of people now pogo :)

You don't know how much love I put into this importer. Now I need all the love I can get. :p

Just curious - how long did it take you?
