This script allows you to associate the imported posts from an EZBoard forum (which show up as username/Guest) with your newly registered vBulletin users. They will be able to edit their old posts, see their new avatars and signatures reflected in their old posts, and more importantly, their post count will include all of these old posts.
This script is particularly handy if users have already signed up on your new vBulletin forum or if users are registering with different usernames than they had on EZBoard.
You will still want to change each user's Join Date under their User options in AdminCP to reflect when they first registered on EZBoard. I may add this feature to a future revision of this script.
Supports: vBulletin 3.0.7
Should work with vBulletin 3.0.1-3.0.8 but have not had time to test.
Thanks to MarcoH64 for his assistance with this script!
I have really cleaned up the display of this script to look like a vB3 AdminCP panel. I have also added some basic idiot checks if you put a vB username that does not exist or leave one of the fields blank.
NOTE: PLEASE backup your database prior to using this script!
I consider this Pre-Release code and once it has been verified by other EZBoard users, I will release it here on vB.org. Please save this script as
ezimport.php and place it in
/admincp/
