phpBB 2 BBcode problem

[mgurain]

Hello,,

I have just imported all of phpBB 2.0.13 posts into my new VB3, but I have this big problem :

all the posts with some BBcodes are not displayed correctly in VB,

e.g. :

[align=center:82bf55b395]some text[/align:82bf55b395]

also smilles :

:idea:
:twisted:

also I think I solved the BBcode : size with custom BBcode in VB but I am not sure of the {option} part ? How will it convert for example size=4 to the corresponding size=4 in VB ?

I am in a big trouble if I don't solve this !!

thanks in advance,,

go to the smiles section in admincp - it only imports them but doesn't put them in the current smilies.

Hello,,

what about the important problem :

[align=center:82bf55b395]some text[/align:82bf55b395]

??

That is what cleaner.php is for, also the sizes are parsed out as it imports the posts if you don't want to use the cleaner you will have to add this code to line 116 of impex/systems/phpBB2/000.php



$text = preg_replace('#\[align=center:([a-z0-9]+)\](.*)\[/align:\\1\]#siU','
$2',$text);

Hello,,


thanks very much Jerry,

I have some more small questions before doing :

I have changed some fourms to be subforums of other in new VB, will that affect the re-import ?

also what should I re-import now ? only the threads ?
what about the user ids, I noticed that they changed after import ? will the re-import do recognize them ?

thanks in advance,,

As long has you haven't removed the importforumid they should be fine.


also what should I re-import now ? only the threads ?

Threads & posts. The id's have to change they are vBulletin id's not the source id's if you want the source id's they are user.importuserid.

Hello,,

Thanks Jerry again,,

If I open the board now for posting, then if I would like to do the same re-import or clean will that affect the new posts after the import ?

also, I did run clean.php by a direct URL call, but that seem to be hanging, was my method ok ? or there is a better solution ?

thanks in advance,,

Only open a board once the import is complete and finished, if you re-do the import again you will loose the new data.

cleaner.php has to be configured for what strings you want to to swap out.

Hello,,

1. How to configer cleaner.php ?

2. How to run cleaner.php ?

3. what does it do exactly ?

4. I want to resolve other BBcodes such as :

some text

some text

some text


knowing these codes from bbcode.php from phpBB :



// align
$text = preg_replace("/\[align=(left|right|center|justify):$uid\]/si", $bbcode_tpl['align_open'], $text);
$text = str_replace("[/align:$uid]", $bbcode_tpl['align_close'], $text);



// image_url_herecode..

$patterns[] = "#\[left:$uid\](.*?)\[/left:$uid\]#si";
$replacements[] = $bbcode_tpl['left'];
// [right]image_url_here
code..

$patterns[] = "#\[right:$uid\](.*?)\[/right:$uid\]#si";
$replacements[] = $bbcode_tpl['right'];

Hello,,

1. How to configer cleaner.php ?

2. How to run cleaner.php ?

3. what does it do exactly ?

All the comments and explanations are in the file itself, it replaces text using str_replace() or using a regular expression, if you set it up for that.


4. I want to resolve other BBcodes such as :

some text

some text

some text



Then you will need to add the regular expression code to 000.php to do it on the first past or use cleaner.php tp swap it out after the import.

[Jerry]

I see you edited your post, all this is custom and not defaut phpBB code.

Hello Jerry,,

1. Can I open the board for posting, then do the cleaner.php any time (not re-import) and not lose the new data ?

2. Can you help me configer the cleaner.php at least for one expression, then I will do the rest ?

also : where should I place the Regular Expressions ? is it here :


$replacer = array(
"<img>" => "[img]",
"" => "",
"" => "",
"" => "",
"" => ""
);

or some where else ?

3. Should I then run the cleaner as I stated by calling it by typing the URL ?!! it seems will hang because explorer can not handle all of the database date shown in one webpage !!

thanks.

Hello Jerry,,

1. Can I open the board for posting, then do the cleaner.php any time (not re-import) and not lose the new data ?

Yes you can, though backup the database before running cleaner.php on a live board, always.


2. Can you help me configer the cleaner.php at least for one expression, then I will do the rest ?

Ok, give me 1 string you want matched and cleaned out.


also : where should I place the Regular Expressions ? is it here :


$replacer = array(
"<img>" => "[img]",
"" => "",
"" => "",
"" => "",
"" => ""
);

or some where else ?


Some where else, the $replacer array is for static strings, i.e. simple matching. The regular expression goes on line 77, 91 or 119 depending on what you want to clean out, where the code is commented out like so :



#$text = preg_replace('##siU', '', $text);



3. Should I then run the cleaner as I stated by calling it by typing the URL ?!! it seems will hang because explorer can not handle all of the database date shown in one webpage !!

thanks.

You can call it from the command line also, just pipe the output into results.html for instance, or /dev/null if you dont care about the return codes. the current version isn't a propper CLI version yet.

Hello,



Ok, give me 1 string you want matched and cleaned out.


I gave examples in post #9 , ok take this one :


<span style="filter: glow(color={GLOWCOLOR}); height:20">

which is parsed now in VB as :


some text[/glow:234a498735]

phpBB BBcode was :


[glow=red]some text

thanks for your help Jerry, I appreciated.

[Jerry]

[glow=red:234a498735]some text[/glow:234a498735]


To go from that to this :
some text

You'd need this :



$text = preg_replace('#\[glow=([^:]*):([a-z0-9]+)\](.*)\[/glow:\\2\]#siU', '$3', $text);


Then put that on line 77 of cleaner.php
