phpBB Importer Ready!

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.

You mean the stuff in the ranks table? (School was tiring today :P). It's an idea...but...well hmm. I guess I never thought of it. I could do it, but...oh gah...I really don't want to release another version (I want this to be done). I will do it though. This will be pretty low on my list of priorities tho...School being at the top

Talk to you later.

Thanks!

Use it, love it....

Neb helped my turn my UBB -> phpBB -> vB into a fully working DB, and it had LOTS of problems.

The script was(is) awesome.......it's final as my 900+ user 35000 post board will attest to.....

Thanks Neb,

JC

Whee, glad to know people are happy. I've been trying to send emails to Ed Sullivan, but he isn't responding :P

I'm going to try some other ones.

I sent a message to James, but he won't be back until September 14 (I think). That's the good news, I got the message sent. The horrible news is...my vBulletin license expires on the 9th of September!!!!!

So, if you guys want something fixed, please tell me before September 9th. I don't want to run a vBulletin copy if it's expired...

Hello. This version may add a bug or two, but that's okay, the new features were supposed to be included, but never were, but now are (did I say that right??). The new features are:

• Rank Title Imports
• User Title Imports
• Ban List Imports
• Censored Word Imports
• Illegal Username Imports
• FIXED: Settings were not taking immediate affect, only after you changed them in the control panel, they now take immediate affect.

Anyways, hope you like this update. I need a few people to help test this. I have tested this myself, and believe it to work, but would like to know it works for others too...

In other news, this will be the version I send to James (if no bugs are found). Please help me get this tested.
