IPB 1.2 does not see data

[WielerArchieven]

Clean Import
Source board: IPB 1.2
Target version: vBulletin 3.6.5
Import usergroup
no SQL error occured
Impex 1.80


I'm trying to import an IPB 1.2 forum into a fresh install of vBulletin 3.6.5 but the Impex system does not get any further then step 001.

Step 001 works flawlessly, the only tables shown in red are 'subscription' tables, which i didn't use anyway, so not critical.

Skipped the 002 step as i didn't need that either.

But when i try step 003 i get 'Importing 0 Usergroups' although there are
9 entries in the groups table of IPB.


What could be going wrong here? Should i open a support ticket for this?


Think i also found a bug in 003.php of the ipb import module.

Hi Steve,

Well not as much a bug but a coding error. In Impex/systems/ipb/003.php there the following lines (104 to 109);

$user_groups_array = $this->get_ipb_user_group_details($Db_source, $source_database_type, $source_table_prefix);

// Got some numbers, lets try putting it in the dB
$usergroup_object = new ImpExData($Db_target, $sessionobject,'usergroup');

$displayobject->display_now("<h4>{$displayobject->phrases['importing']} " . count($usergroup_array) . " {$displayobject->phrases['usergroups']}</h4>");

Shouldn't line 109 also use the

$user_groups_array

variable instead of

$usergroup_array

Please report this in the Bug Tracker so the Devs have a chance to review this. Thanks.

But couldn't set Category or Affected Version as there's nothing there for the Impex system.

Is this bug the reason why nothing gets imported?

The IPB1 importer has just been updated, though the target version for support is 1.3.1.

[WielerArchieven]

Jerry does that mean i will not be able to import a IPB 1.2 installation into
vBulletin?

If so then the manual page (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/impex_ipb1.3) for IPB 1 needs to be adjusted too, as it states;
Version supported : 1.1 - 1.3
