UPDATE: Please make sure to read the last posts. The beginning of the thread is kinda old, so please don't think this is how it works. Read the last posts.

----------------------------------

Hello. This is my first time posting here, so I hope I make a good first impression

Anyways...I just finished my phpBB 1.4.0 Convertor Utility, allthough I don't have an actual phpBB 1.4.0 DB to test it on. All I did was use a DB with 2 forums, one topic, and one post

. Anyways, if you have phpBB 1.4.0, or any other kind of phpBB (Convert it to 1.4.0, of course

), please please help me test this.

If you find an error or some way of crashing or messing up the process, please tell me what happened. Also, if you could send me a copy of the database you are using, that would be greatly appreciated. Please don't think I'll steal your PWs, because they are MD5 encoded.

Known Bugs:

Does not make private forums private while converting

When it is converting, all the user passwords are changed to a different md5-encoded string. I plan to change this later.

I know it isn't very user friendly. Also, please don't take any part of this code without my permission. I worked really hard on it. Thanks a bunch.

Please post anything you have to say about this below.

Hello All. Hopefully, this version fixes the problem with the slash thing. Please test it, and let me know how it works out.

Also, some phpBB BBCode decoding problems have been fixed. It should now decode < img> tags and Edit Messages. Also, I am having trouble with the smilies being turned into their respective symbols, and < font> tags being decoded. I am currently working on it. Please do not tell me those don't work, because I know

If you have any ideas on how to help out on fixing the smilies code or the font code, please let me know ASAP. My school begins this coming Monday (8-27-2001). After that, I will not be able to work on this very much, and I am working very hard on it. I need all your help. Thanks!

I converted about a week ago and apart from some slashes and broken smiley links everything has been running smoothly.

Thanks Nebula!

Try running the version released just above your post. That way, the slashes will be removed (hopefully). The smilies are currently being worked on.

Tell me how it goes.

Hi Nebula,

Thanx to your work, my board is now on vBulletin since one week now, and like jpetrovs, it runs just fine !!!

Can you isolate your code for the slash thing problem, because my database is way too huge to do it on all post manually ;-)

Many thanx,

Nebula · #**116** 08-22-2001, 10:13 PM

I think this version may be perfect!! Please download it and test it. Smilies work. All BBCode is decoded. If this version isn't perfect, I give up (not really...but you know what I mean

).

I'll be away tomorrow, so I won't be around. Let me know what happens!

If this version is fine, then this will be the final version! Don't stop testing now, you've come so far

Nebula · #**117** 08-22-2001, 11:39 PM

Turned out that this isn't a bug fix, but rather a compatibility issue caused with the [ code ] tags, and the [ quote ] tags. This version also gives you the option of mailing users. If you do not want to, when you get to that step...just enter 0 for the number of cycles.

Hope this one is final!!

Nebula · #**118** 08-24-2001, 11:28 AM

Is anyone gonna give me feedback?

Remember, this coming Monday (8-27-2001), or 3 days, I return to school. So, that means that unless I have an unusually low amount of homework, I will not be able to work on this at all. Please help me now so I may get it finished.

Neb, it works great. However the mail users function breaks in the SQL.

Weird, I pasted the SQL into phpMyAdmin, and it works.....just not in the context of the script.

hrm...I was afraid of that, no official testing and all...I'll go check it out.

Nebula · #**121** 08-24-2001, 12:57 PM

Here's a teeny weenie bug fix. It fixes a problem with a SQL Query Error. What happened was there was an invalid variable name in the LIMIT clause. It's fixed now, and is ready for testing again

Please don't stop testing now. I really need your help.
