Yes, bbPress includes an importer to convert your Invision (IPB) forums and users to bbPress.
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
It doesn’t work, it converts forums/users/topics but no replies.
It should convert the replies as I am currently updating it with some ‘extra’ stuff.
Do you see an error displayed in the yellow status conversion window? If so what is it?
Did you run the ‘repair tools’ after importing to ‘recount’ all the things?
`SELECT convert(posts.pid USING “utf8”) AS pid,convert(posts.topic_id USING “utf8”) AS topic_id,convert(posts.ip_address USING “utf8”) AS ip_address,convert(posts.author_id USING “utf8”) AS author_id,convert(posts.post_title USING “utf8”) AS post_title,convert(posts.post USING “utf8”) AS post,convert(posts.post_date USING “utf8”) AS post_date,convert(posts.edit_time USING “utf8”) AS edit_time FROM posts AS posts WHERE posts.new_topic = 0 LIMIT 0, 100`
This error comes up right after it says “No replies to convert”
Yes the error is yellow and I did run all of the repair tools
Can you open up myPhpAdmin on your webhost and open the IPB database and then the ‘posts’ table and paste the SQL structure for that table here.
The below is from IPB 3.2 and I am curious if there are any changes in 3.3, It should be similar to this:
`
1 pid
2 append_edit
3 edit_time
4 author_id
5 author_name
6 use_sig
7 use_emo
8 ip_address
9 post_date
10 icon_id
11 post
12 queued
13 topic_id
14 post_title
15 new_topic
16 edit_name
17 post_key
18 post_htmlstate
19 post_edit_reason
20 post_bwoptions
21 pdelete_time
`
`
1. pid
2. append_edit
3. edit_time
4. author_id
5. author_name
6. use_sig
7. use_emo
8. ip_address
9. post_date
10. post
11. queued
12. topic_id
13. new_topic
14. edit_name
15. post_key
16. post_htmlstate
17. post_edit_reason
18. post_bwoptions
19. pdelete_time
20. post_field_int
21. post_field_t1
22. post_field_t2`
If you need access to my database I can give it too you.
There are a couple of diff’s there but just missing ‘post_title’ should still import the replies.
If you could send me a link to download (FTP, Dropbox, whatever) the database i’ll take a look and try to get things working for both IPB 3.2 & 3.3.
Sent to u a link, hope it works
