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.

I'm having the same problem. Everything is imported correctly but no posts appear in any of the threads. Any ideas?

[Juan]

Yes, on mine you get the correct forum names but no threads in the forums.

Thanks in advance !

[Nebula]

Thanks. I'll go work on it.

My current state:
I was able to convert my users already.

Now I have to convert 40.000 posts from my Ikonboard 2.1.8 to vB, I don't know how to do it, because I don't know if there are several tables or only on I have to deal with on the vB side.

[Hawkeye]

Nebula, when I run the convertor all the information is transferred from phpbb to vb apart from the posts themselves. Information is not being copied from the post_text field of phpbb to the pagetext field of vb. I've done a clean install of both boards and it doesn't clear the problem.

greenland: An official ikonboard -> vB converter is in the works, however at this time there is no ETA.
If you want to do the posts yourself you need to look at the post and thread tables.

Hey. Here's a quick status update. The new version is almost complete. It fixes numerous bugs (Including the no-show threads). The visual output of the script has also improved.

You can expect the new version to be released late tonight, or sometime tomorrow. It is looking really good, I must say.

Post any problems or comments you may have here!!

[Nebula]

Forget about what I said about being almost complete. Something big just came up. Anyways...here's the current version. Styles don't work, and I am investigating why. If anyone knows why...PLEASE, please tell me. Also, test this and let me know how it all works out...
