Reupload all the original vB and Impex files. It looks like a file is missing somewhere.

Your impexconfig is misconfigured, also it looks like you are using the phpBB importer to import from phpnuke, that will require some database alteration.

Yes i tried to alter the sql, such as nuke_users, I would like someone to help me on this one, I have over 4000 users and 9000 posts , If someone could help me, i would donate some money, Im really looking forward to import the old posts/and users to my newly purchased forums.

Please if you are willing to help me on this PM or email me at www.vbdesigners.com

Thanks again.

Xtrato, I'm not an official vBulletin representative, but if you trust me enough, I'm more than willing to step in to have a look.

PM me if you are willing.

[Jerry]

Also you are using the phpBB importer not the pnphpBB by the looks of it.

I would advise using the pnphpBB importer, if you want to use the phpBB one for some other reason, check this out :

Hey ther jerry thanks.. I tried what the topic said, it seemed to work fin in administration panel, however when i went to the boards, it did not seem to have worked...

The boards , and the database have the info, however it does not display any of it, that includes post's , members etc.

you can view it here, its reading the members number, however it does not show members or posts.

go here: http://xtrato.com/forums/index.php

Thanks again.

After the import did you rebuild all the counters? (threads, forums, and then search if forums and threads were successfull)

[Xtrato]

Importing HOWTO (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116398)


The end game

Once you have completed all the modules that you wish to run, there are still several steps that you need to take.

Firstly, check the forums are ordered correctly and are being displayed, you may need to re-order them in the admin control panel forum manager.

Secondly, in the "Import & Maintenance -> Update Counters" section of the admin control panel update the threads counters then the forums, also you will need to rebuild the search index and possible the user details to clean up after an import depending on the system you are importing from.

Thirdly, most importers will import the usergroups or create a default import usergroup, this is so you can check the users being imported and manage them accordingly, to move users to the default "Register" group in vBulletin, delete the import group they are in.

Finally, check the permissions of your moderators and the forums. As all boards different to varying degrees, only so much information can be imported as values in vBulletin will not exist in other boards so they will be left to default.

A good example of this is the COPPA setting for the users, this many be need to be updated for all users.

An import will as a rule of thumb err on the side of caution, if an age can't be ascertained for instance, it will make a user COPPA then let the admin correct it later.

Rebuild the search index if you want to be able to search on the imported posts.

fixed.. (deleted Imported Groups)

[pnosko]

now back to my problems....

If I want to import more then 1 phpbb forum into my vbulletin, how can I make sure all the members are imported? The first one went without a hitch but for some reason when I try to import another one it will import 111 members and 88 will fail because it says they are already imported or associated when they are not!

Is there a fix for this?

[Jerry]

Please read the HOWTO, this isn't a bug.
