Very cool – I appreciate the continued help and support, Stephen.

I’m glad to hear I can simply hit stop and start when I want to resume – awesome UX there. I’ll give the import another go.

Hi Stephen,

Looks like the conversion hangs around 13,000 replies …. I have about 20,000 more to go. It definitely slows down near the end.

However, the posts that do end up getting converted look beautiful.

My only guess is the scrubbing process is taking a lot more resources than before this beta version? Any insights would be much appreciated 🙂

Also, I’ve noticed that there seems to be only two levels of hiearchy that gets converted … Categories and 1 level of forums below that. Nested forums within forums in phpbb don’t get pulled in? It’s okay for me either way because i’ll modify my forum structure before importing them.

Okay figured it out … closing the loop here in case someone needs a solution in the future to this problem.

This code worked:

`printf( bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( ‘type’ => ‘avatar’ ) ) );`

I am going to grab the beta and give it a shot then! I’ll report back with the results .. it’s about 40k posts and 2k users.

I’ll try changing post_parent in the database and running the repair tools, too.

Thank you, Stephen!

Hi Stephan, that’s great to hear! Any idea when you plan to release? I’m just doing demo runs right now; I’ll be officially moving my phpbb3-based community over to this bbpress install next month.

I have already been doing a lot of user pruning and forum configuration on the live phpbb forum to make it as close to what I want the bbpress to look like.

I guess I will need to figure out how to mass move topics from a regular forum into a group designated forum. I tried mucking with the database by changing the “post_parent” field to match up with the new group forum, however it didn’t work… the front end looked a little wonky. Tips?

[@nprimex1 Participant 11 years, 11 months ago]

Stephan, I ended up with a fresh install again and did the import from scratch. This time, it looks like it worked!

Has there been any resources for cleaning up bbcode? it looks like a bunch of random characters are in place around the brackets where bbcode once was.

Also, I am using sitewide forums over the buddypress forums. However, I wanted to migrate topics from one of the imported forums into the group forum that was created … however, I see no option to mass move topics? I did some searching and found a reference to it if I were to “delete” a forum, however trashing it, simply just puts it in the trash bin! Can you please shed some light onthis?

Thank you so much for your continued support! I’ve been a hardcore phpbb user for a long time but the painful customization of it finally turned me!

[@nprimex1 Participant 11 years, 11 months ago]

Thanks Stephan – I’m an idiot! That worked.

However, I’m noticing not all replies are matching up with their parent topic. Is this a known issue? User passwords are blank in the database too so they can’t log in… any help would be much appreciated!

[@nprimex1 Participant 11 years, 11 months ago]

okay, sorry! After mucking around, REPAIRING the counts worked!

Now, I just need to figure out this users issue…
