Import type: Clean import
Source: phpBB3 - 3.0.1
Target: vBulletin 3.6.10
Module: 010 - Import attachment
MySQL error: None

I’m attempting to import a fresh phpBB3 site into VB.

1. Import of the forums completes fine. However none of the imported forums show up, just the standard VB install "Main" is showing. When looking at the database table "vb_forums" all the imported phpbb forums are there. In the admiCP none of the imported forums show up.

2. Import of attachments fails. I've setup the attachments to be stored on the system. Both the old and new folders have permissions set to 0777. The import only processes the number I set in the module then goes back to the impex module overview screen. So if I set it for 5 attachments between refresh it imports those 5 then goes back to the main impex screen rather then just refreshing and moving onto the next set of 5 attachments. The import does work for those 5 attachments though.

Note: Also opened a support ticket.

After looking at the phpBB3 import scripts I found the below.

Found a problem with the Impex system phpBB 010.php attachment import script.

Found this

if ($data_['count'] == 0 OR $data_['count'] < $per_page)

Changed to

if ($data_array['count'] == 0 OR $data_array['count'] < $per_page)

The attachment script is now processing all attachments at 5 per refresh.

Still have the issue with the forums not showing up.

Have you follow all these steps, most importantly updating the forums, threads and then saving the forum display :
