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

It seems the poll conversion is screwed up.

It tried to run the SQL arguement ... WHERE vote_id =

(without anything after =)

I'm having the same issue as Showtime... I also ran into the same issue as well with the "official" importer. No matter what I try, I can't assign the same userID and password to the 2 databases on the same server. I contacted my hosting company and they confirmed that it wasn't possible.

Any suggestions as to what I can do?

lol, it is very possible, they're just lazy (no offence, of course).

I use CPanel on my server, and it's the best by far. As for that, there's not much I can say. Some webserver panels are just more flexible than others.

As for the poll thing, I will look into that. I am very busy, as exams are coming up next week. But I'll see what I can do

We're using Plesk as a control panel, I have no other option than that. :tired: Is there no way to modify the importer to allow someone to specify a user and password for the target database? Or am I out of luck on importing my existing users? (I only wish to import the users, nothing more)

try this one. I changed it in 5 minutes, so I might have missed something. It might work though. No guarantees, as it was never really designed for this. Good luck. I can look at it more tomorrow if it doesn't work.

BTW...many of you that are having problems with this, JelSoft will have fixed them (and probably ones that people haven't found), and will release it with vBulletin3...at least that's what they told me.

So very close...

Now I'm having the opposite problem. It is trying to use the user and password I entered for the phpBB2 database for the vBulletin database. D'Oh!

Thanks so much for your help so far!! I'm so close I can taste it. ...

sorry, PHP doesn't handle mulitple mySQL connections very well...either that, or I don't

Try this. Also, if you're getting queries being executed on the wrong database, try this one too.

Great hack, I converted from yabbse => phpbb => vb

everything went pretty good except alot of my posts contain the html tag ' <br /> '

Its displaying where a line break would normally appear, you can see an example here http://www.cyclingforums.com/t1274.html

Does anyone know of a quick fix to make these posts display properly?

cheers!
