Impex Assistance on migrating from phpBB

[ewelin]

Hello,

I'm currently in the middle of migrating a major client's site from a heavily modded phpBB2 forum to vB. Now impex works great and imports all of the default data, but I'm looking to expand that. I've already customized the user import to include custom profile fields I added in phpBB2. But the biggest thing I'd like to do is keep the forum hierarchy.

I have a subforum MOD on my phpBB forum which added a "forum_parent" field to the phpbb_forums table. I'm hoping to be able to use this information in the import so that I do not have to manually resort all of the forums in vB. Looking at file 000.php line 646 it looks like all fields of the phpbb_forums table is available (yes i'm running mysql). I then found that in file 006.php around line 170 is where the forums are imported into vb. I'm just unsure how to provide this "forum_parent" value so that it can give the imported forums the correct parent ids.

Any assistance would be greatly welcomed!
