Miscellaneous Hacks - ImpEx Module: Xenforo

This is a Xenforo module for ImpEx, the vBulletin Import System,
it does allow you to import a Xenforo Database into a vBulletin 4 installation.

Currently, the following data will be imported:

• Usergroups
• Users including Avatars
• Forums
• Threads including Polls
• Posts
• Smilies
• Attachments
• Conversations
  As vBulletin does not have an equivalent to the Conversations feature in Xenforo, conversations will be converted to Private Messages in vBulletin.
  Please note that any attachments used in conversations will get lost as vBulletin does not (yet) support attachments in PMs.

This module has been developed for Xenforo 1.0.4, but it should also work with Xenforo 1.1.X.
Please not that Xenforo 1.1.X features (Profile Fields, Thread Prefixes, etc.) are not yet supported.

If there is enough interest I might add those features in a later release.

Warning
This module is BETA and has not been tested extensively - use it at your own risk.
If you find bugs, please report them!

Important - See Post #87 about an important potential security issue and fix if you use this.

Bump. I mean if XenForo can convert passwords to their own format why can't vB convert back?

XF doesn't convert passwords, it simply has code to support other authentication systems besides its own as well - vBulletin and IPB.
vBulletin does not have such a system, it only understands its own format

If you want it to support other authentcation systems you have to do that on your own.

[TheInsaneManiac]

So XF doesnt convert it just uses existing and recognizes if it is a vB password?

[Andreas]

Exactly.

[TheInsaneManiac]

How hard is that to do? Think if you get a lil spare time you can accomplish this? I'm no expert like you are.

[Andreas]

Not much, all necessary hooks are there.

I don't have spare time, and even if I hand I most likely wouldn't do it as it's a rather boring task and I don't think there would be much interest..

Sorry

I could send some money your way. I do a boring job too, so I understand, how long would it take you and how much would you charge?

Passwords is, and always will be, the major stumbling block with this Andreas...hats off to you if you can work a solution into the pack

Hi do anybody have a redirect script or code to redirect the old xenforo links (forums, threads, ...) to the new vbulletin ones?

Is this possible? Thanks!
