Importers (requests & poll)

I take it you mean Post Nuke ?

If so the only commonality at the moment are the users as long as they are sync'ed up. I will have to write another import for that one as the schema is so diffrent from phpBB2.

I've added post nuke to the poll.

I'm referring to PNphpbb2, which is a modified version of phpBB specifically modified to work with postnuke. The dev site is http://www.pnphpbb.com/. Not sure if it's the same that you're thinking of, and I do recall there being other phpbb ports for postnuke.

The version I'm running is 1.2a, which was the latest last time I checked.

Seems I remember seeing a post somewhere on this site where someone removed the nuke_ prefix from his db tables (which left the original phpbb table names), and then ran the phpbb importer and it worked. My question is more to the point of would it be easy for you to modify the script to recognize the nuke_ prefix and then call it a pnphpbb2 importer....and also I was wondering if the VB3 version of the phpbb script would have changed to the extent that it would no longer work with PNphpbb2 (minus the nuke_ prefixes)?

To be honest with out having a PNphpBB database to test againsn't I could say either way, though table prefixes are taken care of in the new importers.

I'll download it and have a go.

I notice IPB 1.3 has been completed, will this also include 1.2? or am I better off upgrading to 1.3 and then doing it from there?

Thanks

I belive there arn't any major diffrences to the database between 1.2 and 1.3, so it should be fine.

Personally I would try it straight off, if it dosn't work submitt a bug. Then upgrade to 1.3 and go from there.

No worries at all.

Thanks Jerry.

Great, but i hope we get a vb3-importer for vb3 - this one also had the most votes

After wBB and OT are finished yes.

I've offered my help to the team if they wish to build a Snitz importer. I ran it for years and imported a rather large forum into vb.

Wicked, i cant wait for the vb3-vb3,
I have two 200 meg dbs you could use for testing if you want?

I am really interested in the DCF+ importer, have voted for it and am eagerly awaiting a date for the release.

I am able to test the DCF+ importer as I have a DCF+ and VB test forum set-up already on my server for testing and playing with.

I'm pretty sure we have whatever source vB3 data necessary.
