phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade to 3.1 but know my members would miss a feature they've had for years - reservable avatars. I don't allow users to upload their own, I have an extensive gallery of avatars based on the game series on which my forums focus. It has always been set up so that after 6 mont...

I'm having the exact same problem after MySQL had some odd crash towards the end of last week. I'm tearing my hair out trying to find some pattern to these seemingly random 500 errors which happen sometimes when posting/replying, approving posts, moving topics, editing etc... Did you ever resolve th...

Thanks chaps - will brave the auto-update first I guess (with a backup done immediately beforehand). Wish me luck Friday night's the quietest time on my forum so guess I'll find out later if it works!

Is there a file which lists the changes needed for a manual update? I've got a busy, heavily modified forum and worry about the auto update. Is there somewhere I can just find a list of 'in file something.php ... find x ... replace with y ...' etc?

Did you ever solve this problem? I'm having a similar problem with overall_header not picking up variables but it's with the user blog mod and the afterburner theme. Would love to know if you found out what was wrong?

Hi all, I've had a good old search around but all I've been able to find on this seems to be a feature in development for phpBB 3.1 - which isn't much help to me with a current version of phpBB! Has anyone developed or want to have a go at developing a mod to include the original post text in a repo...

I'm surprised there isn't a mod for this already, but hopefully it won't be too difficult for someone to come up with. I know we can already mark all forums as read or an entire forum as read, but in some cases my users want to just be able to mark a topic as read without having to go through it. Al...

I also miss the 'mark topic as read' which I used to have on my IPB - especially as there seem to be a problem whereby a locked post which is unread remains unread even if you go through and read the whole thing.

I'm quite surprised there isn't already a mod for marking individual topics as read.

Okay, here goes :) Notes: Please don't judge me by the coding in this, I cobbled it together in a hurry. It could easily be modified to run the queries, or to save them to .sql files which you can download and run. I just quickly copied the data out of the textareas, into phpMyAdmin and did it that ...

That's really kind of you to offer Dicky :) Actually I took a look at it today and I managed to convert the polls over. If anyone here is interested in the script, I'll post it. It's not automated or anything, I just wanted to get it done quickly, so it creates SQL queries from the IPB database whic...

Thanks Dicky, but that's a link to maat's converter, which as I said didn't convert the polls from my IPB. I wanted to try Chipmunk's conversion tool - the one this thread is about - but can't find the file. Did your polls convert using maat's? The topics themselves converted for me, but the polls d...

Looks like this project never got finished, but maat's convertor doesn't convert polls, so I'm hoping someone here has a copy of this one kicking around somewhere? All the links to it are dead, Google finds nothing and the site has no recent Archive.org entries.

Can anyone help?

First of all, big thanks to you Noxwizard for your ongoing help and support to so many people in this topic


EDIT - nevermind, I think I solved my problem - will re-post if I turn out to be wrong

Hi folks :) Seteo messaged me to suggest I request a lock on this thread, now someone else has pretty much taken over where I left off :) So, if a mod is reading, please lock this topic (perhaps with a link to the power pack topic?) ... well, I'll go message a member of staff too, just to be sure :)...

Please feel free to post the files
