I am back guys from christmas/wedding/hunneymoon/ and new years. I will respond when I catch up here.
Just understand very hard to be able to parse everything with all the different formats for every forum. I use a standard off the shelf parser class which doesn’t catch everything. The parser will need to be expanded or edited to cover all cases I need help on this. Need the community to help maintain that. Add it once and it is added for everyone. Right now priority is PunBB then I can take a look at parser updates.
I would check out the “Example.php” file for info on how to create a converter. It is pretty self explanatory to any developer. We made it extremely easy to create conversion files. All you have to do is create the mapping and the system does everything else for you.
Version 1.3 Released:
phpBB3 now supported
punBB is started and should be early next week.
Thank you so much I received it from both of you so I have databases so please don’t send anymore. I should be able to work on these tomorrow and will give an update.
I received it and ran some tests the issue is: “I have firstly migrated the punbb to bbpress 1.1 so all the tables reflect that migration”. Well the data in the table is wrong compared to a fresh bbpress and posts in it. The “post_position” column is always 1 on your site this is not accurate and causing part of your issues. I see “topic_poster” and “topic_last_poster” all 0 as well.
If you can send me your punbb database I can make a conversion file for it and will solve everything.
Anyone who is doing a two step process this to that to this please refrain from using my script and ask for the direct conversion file. Everything I have tested is fresh copies of each forum platform without ever being converted into and I haven’t been able to get any issues.
Right now I have requests for phpbb3 and punbb. I need databases for these if you want to help speed up the process. I just need to test the phpbb3 and I can go live with it so if anyone has test data would be appreciated.
Can you send it to me aellis@trinnovations.com I will run test on it.
are you on latest bbpress 1x? My tests are working so may need another set of sample data to test to see what is going on. Also check to see if you have a table called bbconverter_translator
Hey Justin the IP stuff is old I tested _bbp_author_ip which is the meta for storing for bbpress. But it doesn’t work. That code you see is error on my part for got to push that edit live but it is tested on my end. So I need to look into it further.
Also make sure to run all the bbpress counters. After the conversion is done it has a link to do so. If you do not do so it will not link up all the forums/topics/posts you are saying is an issue with assigning. So make sure to run counters and should have 0 issues.
New update is available now version 1.2. Please test it out. I will have phpbb3 tested and updated real soon. Sorry again for the delays guys. Getting married on the 27th of December so been slammed with wedding stuff.

1.2
Fixed Cleaning slow down.
Much Faster importing now if mysql table editing is available.
Fixed duplicate first post/reply on topics
Fixed Issue with Different charset from UTF-8
Added more info messages
Sorry guys been slammed I will try to get the update out before weekend is out. Today have to finish up another project so no way it will be today. So look for it in coming days.
Joe thank you so much for your info pasted above to help assist people. I just want to let everyone know I have a new version 1.2 coming out probably tomorrow which will speed up everything IF your mysql account for WP has access to add tables. It will also fix issues with non UTF8 WP tables. Also fixes cleaning to be faster.
Now onto smf my advise is to look at invision and other examples in the convert folder that showing the tags grab which uses the join tables code.
If you give me the two names OR dump me a database for SMF I can do the convert file or tell you what to put within minutes. These convert files I can create within 30min. It is the testing that is more time consuming. Once I release the next update I will start creating more convert files. Sorry again for the delays. I am ALWAYS available on skype and other messengers for immediate help.
We are definitely here. I stated my direct contact info earlier in thread. You have a lot of questions and posts so be easier to address them all at once through a messanger. You are correct about the bbpress 1x and not needing the plugin after convert to convert passwords. That is for all other platforms.

The phpbb is not currently complete as the file says 
I should have it done next week if nobody has tried to do the converter file yet. I also will be adding and editing a few things for speed.
Well for starters what do you have the process rows at?
Also can you provide server details and your current limits. It may be easier to do that as I have test environment that I can mirror yours and test. It would go a lot faster that way. So php limits and mysql limits and server details. Also site stats and platform.
No eta at the moment sorry trying to see why a few people are getting mismatched thread stuff. I have ran more and more tests and never happens for me. Tried 10 different boards of all sizes even one that has 2 million posts and no issues. It would be nice if someone provided me some login info or server info to test locally this is not public www. Just to see if I am getting same issue as you do.
