Thanks for the replies so far. One more question, is it possible to run the convertor to test it, am I correct to assume it does not affect the running of the existing software I am converting. I'd like to see how much work I have to do when I am ready for the final changeover, it will give me some...
Well i think as D¡cky does. if you stay on firsts step (before clickin on third button named "Continue Conversion") you are not yet under convertor control but under phpbb3 core system control seems like phpbb3 does not find your source forum path did you give a relative path or an absolut...
improved forum permissions conversion in trunk : https://subversion.grenouille.com/svn/ipb13_to_phpbb3/trunk/ now basic permissions (no access, readonly, standard access, and full administrator acess) in phpbb3 should be rather close of what's defined in source IPB board. I rely on some shortcuts at...
Ok : version 0.3 without id + 1 is here : https://subversion.grenouille.com/svn/ipb13_to_phpbb3/tags/v0.3/ version 0.4 with id + 1 following Djcky advice is in trunk : https://subversion.grenouille.com/svn/ipb13_to_phpbb3/trunk/ You can test them and let me know if i missed something next hard point...
Added a fix for basic forums setups where the only ipb admin userid is 1 (which is guest id for phpbb3)
=> currently i translate only the admin id after the last known userid but i think i can also translate admin id to 2 and then translate others userids to userid + 1
for attachements ipb allows only one file... and data are stored with post while in phpBB3 data for attachements are stored in a specific table... i think i can code something in the coming days to deal with attachements.
tygerbug, For the guest postings: OPEN functions_ipb13.php FIND function phpbb_user_id($user_id) { global $config; REPLACE WITH function phpbb_user_id($user_id) { global $config, $convert, $src_db, $db; // If the old user id is 0, it is the anonymous user... if ($user_id == 0) { return ANONYMOUS; }...
ipb system of "masks" for permissions is a real nightmare. Currently only really basic permissions are converted ( i'll try to improve my convertor for that later but the amout of time needed will be rather heavy ) for attachements i dont think i did much... i can perhaps improve things wi...
