Hi Guys,

I currently use http://titan.spaceports.com/~typus/tforum/ and wish to change over to vBulletin.

tForum is mysql based. Is there some hack that will import the files from tforum to vbulletin?

Can anyone make this?

Thanks

Good Luck, I just did a table dump/data dump then manually edited all the users so they are in Vbulletin. I should have just gone with this from the start.

Shak,

I know it might sound dumb, but how did you do that dump? And how'd you edit the users?

Can you PLEASE list here what steps you took?

Thanks

I took a look at tForum, but the table structure is a lot different than vBulletin's - it wasn't as easy as I would have hoped. I could do this, but it would be more of an undertaking than I have time to take on.

Sorry.

anyone have success with this tForum conversion yet? I'd like to migrate a quite large tForum into vB aswell...

Importing user db was easy - importing posts was hell - tforum ist bad normalized - thread + forum ID are both in the posts table

Finallay I did this partly manually (2000 posts, in Excel, 1 Night) and am happy to be @ vb now...
good luck!

Could you describe the steps you took in Excel? I am very much in the same situation right now and I could use some help

I am familiar with phpMyAdmin, but not really with Excel
