Hello

I’d like to hack the converter for invision power board so that it transfers file attachments and avatars. I have the plugins installed for those capabilities. Where can I find the file/functions I need to modify?

The Invision converter is in

wp-content\plugins\bbpress\includes\admin\converters\invision

if you don’t mind share your conversion code/experience to the community, it would help a lot.

There have been users doing something similar to this especially for attachments (but probably different forum system). I can also show you their code if that would help you any.

Wow thanks for answering so quickly! I doubt my code will be up to any useful coding standard, but I’ll be happy to share what I come up with anyway. It would be a great help to look at other attempts at this, even if it’s for another forum. Can you show me their code?

Thanks

Here both import attachments to GD bbPress attachments

Here is a link to a gist on one for SMF.

Here is one for Kunena.

These are very helpful! One thing I’m unclear on – and forgive my wordpress newness here – how are these scripts being run? Are they just uploaded to the server and navigated to in the browser? Or is it getting run through the wordpress architecture somehow?

Are they just uploaded to the server and navigated to in the browser?

they both seem to be standalone PHP scripts.

on the SMF one the creator says how he ran it.

The kuena one is detailed by the author here.
