UltraBoard 2.2.x importer released!

Please do not contact me via ICQ, Email, PM or anything other way than this thread any more!

Okay... this is my UB2k 2.2.x to vBulletin 2.0.x importer. It can import styles (= skins), users, forums, moderators, posts and private messages.

This Importer has been created for vBulletin 2.0.3! The most things work correctly with 2.2.x (it will import the styles, users, forums, moderators, posts and private messages) but some features like setting new passwords for admins doesn't work. I don't want to create a new version as I don't think there are many UB2k users left who could import...

This script does not work with the vB import system as I wanted to have it independent of the vB directory (some servers are not able to read files in directories like ../../ub2k/). You can upload the script to any directory where you can access the UB2k directory and the vBulletin database.

A manual is in the zip file. Please do not email or pm me if you have questions or found bugs. Please simply answer the thread.

Known bugs:
- On some servers you need to chmod the directory "ubimporter" to 777...

GameCrash... great job with this script! Its just what I've been looking for. Thank you!!

I am having trouble getting past step #4. After I get the following output:

Inserting temporary data... done.
Preparing user files... done.

I click the link to import my first 100 users. At this point, the next page loads and says:

Importing accounts...

Proceeding Account "sco"... Error: Can't insert userdata!

I only pasted my first entry, but all accounts get the same results.

I was also unable to import my old UB2k styles. I get the error: Deleting old styles...Error: Can't delete the old styles.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Do you have write access to the database?

GameCrash, just wanted to say a big thank you for this import script! I was using UltraBoard and needed to move to a new server and UB just wasn't co-operating so I dumped it and imported the UB boards into vB.

I only had one problem (plus a few duplicate nicks) - the script couldn't import accounts.export, but I checked this thread and found the solution (chmod 777 ubimporter dir). I spent a few hours customising it and it's now live and so far everyone is very pleased with it.

So thank you!! And congrats on a well laid out and easy to use script!

Cheers,
Gary

Do you mean the directory "ubimporter" or the directory the ubimporter.php is in?

GameCrash you are the best

It worked fine... Only lose a few users due to duplicate nicks. But everything until now is working great. And vB is much master than UB.

My board can be seen here: http://www.pulsorock.com/foro/

btw... is in spanish

WHO moved this thread to REQUESTS??? That is a release (or what do you think why there is a "released" in the title???) but, as it is not really a hack I did not post into the release forum...

So PLEASE, move it back to the old forum - otherwise nobody else will find it...

Yes, the directory ubimporter needed to be chmod 777. It's probably worth just doing it as a standard anyway whether it's needed or not.

Excellent work, GameCrash!

That hast been said often before, including the first post

Again - I want to thank Game Crash for creating this script. I was losing people due to how SLOW UB2K was and within a couple days of GC's script coming out - all my members are having a blast on vB - Again mucho thanks to Gamecrash...
