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

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.

well...download the .ZIP file from the post right above your first one, and then unzip the bbimport_phpbb.php file somewhere on your harddrive. Then upload it to your vBulletin importer directory (if your vBulletin web address is: 'http://www.yoursite.com/forum', then your importer directory is 'http://www.yoursite.com/forum/importers'). Then, go to your vBulletin Admin control panel, login, and then find the link on the navagation panel (left side) that says BB Import Systems. It's right above Update Counters. Then, select the phpBB entry, and follow the instructions from there.

I guess this means to all my testers that there are no bugs??

I guess...this means that since nobody is giving me bug reports...that this version is ready to go final!

At least 3 people have used this script right now, and it has been perfect in converting for them. There was a minor technical difficulty, but that was because they didn't wait until it went final (like now ). I am going to trim the script up, rewrite the dialogs, and then ship it off to JelSoft (finally :P).

If there is a last minute bug that you find in this, please contact me immediately. Thank you.

Why don't you start a new thread for this and ask the mods to close this one? since it's gotten to be so long people have to read through it to get to the file...

So now that you've got the phpBB importer nailed down...where's the one for converting straight from ikonboard to vBulletin!?

Well, I'm not going to say anything for now, but once iKonBoard 3 goes final, and it seems that they will not be making very many updates to the database structure/data, then I may start work on an iKonBoard importer.

As some of you may know, because I told you in a post, or you know me, I have as of currently returned to school. There is not much homework right now, but I am sure there is plenty of wrath that my teachers have stored up for me :P

I will definately be making a phpBB2 importer. You can count on that. iKonBoard3 importer is a maybe. iKonBoard 2 is a no. People will have to upgrade. IB2 was free, and so is IB3. I can't make an importer for every version, just the newest ones

Question, will this import users, user post count, and rankings? I have been a long time phpBB user, and finally decided to upgrade to vB, a lot of my users don't want their "ranking" to be set to ZERO again.

Thanks for all your help!

I don't know about rankings, but it does import their postcounts, so at most you'd have to re-enter the rank names
