There is also a standalone BBXF importer for phpBB, but I have not tested it yet. You will have to do some work to get it running at this early stage of development, this should be a lot easier as we move forward with this idea.</p> <p>For more check here <a href="http://bbxf.org/" rel="nofollow">http://bbxf.org/</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/exporting-bbpress-to-phpbb2#post-18722 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:52:19 +0000 chrishajer 18722@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I tagged this for Sam Bauers, the developer who posted the original information at the GSOC page.

Erg.</p> <p>Also -- I reread my instructions. One thing I'd like to clarify:</p> <p>When reorganizing your forum users on phpBB using the mod, make sure to make anyone who exists in both phpBB and WP have matching User IDs. Then, when you delete them from the import script, the forum will still have all posts and topics pointing to the correct user because the record is already correct in your bb/wp user tables. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successful-convert-smf-gt-phpbb2-gt-bbpress#post-14750 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 20:03:44 +0000 _ck_ 14750@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Nice work and thanks for sharing...</p> <p>I just knew that using phpbb as an inbetween standard is a good idea...</p> <p>ps. you might want to fix the tags on this to separate words </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successful-convert-smf-gt-phpbb2-gt-bbpress#post-14736 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:45:47 +0000 affacat 14736@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I noticed my import didn't import a forum's most recent post time correctly (it was set equal to forum start date instead)</p> <p>i ran this to fix it:</p> <p>UPDATE<br /> bb_topics<br /> set topic_time =<br /> (SELECT bb_posts.post_time<br /> from bb_posts<br /> where bb_posts.topic_id=bb_topics.topic_id<br /> ORDER BY bb_posts.post_time DESC LIMIT 1) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/successful-convert-smf-gt-phpbb2-gt-bbpress#post-14710 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 02:19:23 +0000 affacat 14710@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>After a day of on-again, off-again effort I have successfully imported my SMF to bbPress - and integrated it with WP.</p> <p>I did this on a local test server, then installed bbPress live, then drop/imported my bbpress tables and user tables (my wp user tables in this case).<br /> Steps:<br /> 1. Installed PhpBB 2.0.23 (legacy version available from phpbb people) and made sure it worked</p> <p>2. Used files within a zip file called convert_smf_111_v1b.zip to convert SMF -&gt; Phpbb. Unfortunately, I can't find the link to the thread right now... I found this<br /> <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=10&#38;t=306321&#38;st=0&#38;sk=t&#38;sd=a" rel="nofollow">http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=10&#38;t=306321&#38;st=0&#38;sk=t&#38;sd=a</a><br /> but it isn't as new a version.<br /> I believe the file I used is here:<br /> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=141446" rel="nofollow">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=141446</a><br /> sorry I lost the link to the discussion.<br /> NOTE 1 : I had to manually go into the database and upgrade my main account to 'level 1' to become admin again.<br /> NOTE 2 : Your password probably won't work and you probably can't send yourself an email either. I hacked phpbb/includes/emailer.php and included the variable $this-&gt;msg into the error message so that the email appeared on the screen. This gave me the ability to reset my account and get a new password. </p> <p>3. Implemented the following MOD on PhpBB to switch conflicting User Ids<br /> <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=388155&#38;sid=3d5e8f776a7086b6fec64c3e80c7cbca" rel="nofollow">http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=388155&#38;sid=3d5e8f776a7086b6fec64c3e80c7cbca</a><br /> (this part is tedious! the MOD is a pain to install and rearranging is no fun either)<br /> Here are directions on how to install a Phpbb mod:<br /> <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=61611" rel="nofollow">http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=61611</a></p> <p>4. installed Jaim3's PhpBB to bbPress converter per instructions<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-phpbb-to-bbpress-database-converter" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-phpbb-to-bbpress-database-converter</a><br /> This created a .sql file.<br /> NOTE 1: Make sure to create a temp folder where the file wants to be created</p> <p>5. Important edits to .sql file<br /> A) since I did an integrated WP/BBpress install, I needed to search and replace bb_user for wp_user<br /> B) Delete any lines that add users who already exist in BB/WP<br /> C) add a field called topic_resolved to bb_topics<br /> D) Delete the sample test posts and forums in the bbpress tables</p> <p>6. Import the .sql into your database. The above should have solved any conflicts, but if you get an error it should be relatively easy to figure out.</p> <p>7. At this point, since I wasn't doing it live I installed bbPress live, and then drop/created my test tables (all bb tables plus user tables) on my live server and all went well.</p> <p>8. This should be everything. Have a drink. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/exporting-bbpress-to-phpbb2#post-3573 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 22:53:49 +0000 Trent 3573@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Leaving us already?
