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

Sweet!!!!! Any thoughts on when you might be able to look at the user group issue I brought up? No hurry, I have already made plans to move my members over myself, but it would be nice to see that taken care of.
Geez, I can't really make out how phpBB user groups work. It totally confuses me, LOL. If someone tells me how the @#$@#$% group system works, I will definately code something. But as of currently, I don't see how groups can be allowed/disallowed, just if they can be set as moderators or not.
Sorry, but as of now, I don't think I'm going to add support. That will change if someone tells me how it works, LOL.
HEHEHEHEHE, no problems with that. I have no clue on any of the php coding so I can;t help ya. As I said, it would be cool if you could figure it out, but I can move the users to the group by hand after the conversion is complete.
Thanks for looking into it though.

This script worked great! I went from XMB 1.6 to phpBB 2.01 to vBulletin 2.2.6. My only issue with the conversion is that many of my users now have private messages that do not belong to them, both in their inbox and sent box. I'm not sure how I can fix this without deleting all private messages from the database?
The script works very well. I only had it hang on one post, which I then deleted. After that, everything was imported fine. The only issue I am having is with private messages. I am looking at the bbimport.php and bbimport_phpbb.php to see if I can figure out why messages don't end up in the correct boxes. If I can't get it figured out, I will probably just tell my users I will be deleting all PM's before our conversion. I would hate for something to show up in someone's box that they were not supposed to read But, that is very minor in comparision to how well this script works. Thank you very much for all your work. I was dreading switching boards because I was afraid of the conversion.
