Invision Power Board 1.1 Importer needs testing · **Released**: 01-28-2003

The importer is now available in the Members Area at

http://www.vbulletin.com/members/imports.html
or
http://www.vbulletin-germany.com/members/imports.html

I have heard all the requests for an Invision Power Board 1.1/1.2 import script and now it is done (I hope).
It is possible that it could work with all vB 2.2.x versions but I have tested it only with vB 2.2.9+. I don't know how much bbimport.php changed over the versions and if it will work with older ones.

It imports users, custom avatars, usergroups, buddys, categories, forums, threads, posts, attachments, polls, private messages, private message folders, subscribed forums and subscribed threads.

To make it easy to use it is written as a plugin like all the other official importers.

Requirements: vBulletin and IPB 1.1/1.2 on the same MySQL server. It doesn't matter if they are in the same or in different databases (but different databases need the same MySQL user/pass).

Hmm I would say about 10 hours of work. Don't know exactly.

Good thing was that the import script for WWWThreads has been a nice inspiration.

1 tester replied and had no problems. More to come.

1) it added some users has admin, supermods and so on.
2) added some users to more then one group.
3) added people to your contacts list that where not on it.
4) imports all smilies and tags has html

oh well i just dont a clean install of vb now and people have had to resign up because i could not get this to work.

Hey pogo, could I use it? I've e-mailed you, but I haven't gotten a reply back yet

Anyways, I really need this! And yes, it is a 1.1 database.

1) Hard to say where the problem is, in my 2 test boards all users and usergroups were imported correctly.

2) This isn't possible in vB2 because one user can only belong to one usergroup. Perhaps two users have the same name?

3) Yup. I am working on this right now....DONE!

4) This is already done.

I guess both of these errors are related to users that are in mgroup=0 (mgroup = usergroup) or any other undefined usergroup (don't know yet how this can happen).

I will add some checks to avoid this.

Peter204 · #19 02-24-2003, 03:14 PM

Any progress on this?

pogo · #20 02-24-2003, 03:46 PM

Yes, this is solved.
There is only one other thing with importing the rights of the standard usergroups which I want to do before sending out the next batch of scripts. Hopefully in a couple of days.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
