We are excited about the possibility of converting from PHPBB3 to BBPress. However all the discussions about conversion seem to surround previous versions of PHPBB. Am I missing an appropriate thread? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Does anyone know if somebody may be working on this?
Thanks
I agree with u. I also need a converter for my phpbb forum. There is one for phpbb2, but it's not working with bbpress 0.8.2.1 I mean http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/importing-from-phpbb?replies=26.
Should I give up on this? I *may* be willing to *help* fund a conversion solution if anyone is interested in taking on this project.
I also wonder if anyone has done an analysis of the differences to know what specific loss of functionality I will have if I convert from PHPBB to BBRess.
Thanks
i too am interested in this possiblity
We are also looking for a solution to this.
Here too!
This really should be good for promotion of bbPress, to have a converter for phpbb3 that is.
This is very important if one already got a forum but want to have a *GOOD* integration with Wordpress on a new site.
Imagine loosing 4000 users just to be able to change to bbPress. It just won't happen and it's a damn shame that there isn't a converter yet. :/
Wow, there isn't any tool to move from phpbb3 to bbpress ? How bad it is :-(.
I hope there will be soon :))...
Same here!!!
Import/Export is being improved as part of a Google Summer of Code project. We will hopefully have some results from that to share by the end of it.
The basic idea is to create export plugins for other forum software which can export to a standard format. Then we will have one importer to import that standard format into bbPress.
Thanks for the news :).
But isn't it a beta script to import phpbb3 to a bbpress ?
I wish there was a beta script! I really want to move from phpbb3 to bbpress now.
