   Hi all,

   Is there an easy way to import a phpBB forum into bbPress?

   Thanks!

   Not yet, from what I can gather. But hopefully someone will work on an importer script soon.

   Watch out! I think this script by jaim3 sends all your emails to spammers!

   I have looked over the code of this plugin and it doesn't send your email to spammers. Jaim3 even put this in the code:

       // DISCLAIMER: This is a joke
       echo "<li><h3>Sending all your database e-mails to all major world-wide spam sending mafias...</h3></li>";

   If someone else wants to look to confirm, but it does what it is intended to as far as I am concerned.

   Does anybody know if this script is supposed to work with the latest release of bbpress (.8)? I ran into some problems importing some of the tables.

   Thanks, Len

   That is a good question. I have yet to test it on the most recent version of bbPress. I guess if nothing else you can run it on an install of 0.74 and get it working and then upgrade bbPress to 0.8 afterwards if nothing else. What were the errors?

    Trent -

    I'll post the errors when I get home tonight. I think that it probably had to do with changes in the database, if I remember correctly I think it was with the "topic resolved" field?

    The support forum functions were removed with 0.8 and so10 placed these functions into a plugin. I am sure there is only a few small changes that will not take very long.

    Yes, I encountered this problem last night. I had to manually add the topic_resolved field to the bb_topics table then it worked fine.

    other than that - superb script - worked a treat - thanks very much!!
