Joomla Fireboard Forum to PHPBB

Post by calibrafan »

Is there anyone who can help me convert my Fireboard forum to a PHPBB forum.
I am on FB1.03 and want to go to PHPBB2 or PHPBB3

Re: Joomla Fireboard Forum to PHPBB

Post by mkruer »

Hi. i am working on a phpmyadmin script to convert the Fireboard to phpbb3. I got the userinfo over, but i am having issues with the hashing of the password. FB uses a double hash, as well as phpbb, unfortunately the hashs are not set up the same way so the password is lost unless some can find a way to dehash FB.

FB gets it user information from Joomla below is a quick script, but very incomplete.

Code: Select all

INSERT INTO phpbb3_users( user_id, username, username_clean, user_email, user_password, user_regdate, user_lastvisit )
SELECT id, username, LOWER( username ) , email, `password`, UNIX_TIMESTAMP( registerDate ) , UNIX_TIMESTAMP( lastvisitDate )
FROM jos_users

I am working on updating a script to convert Fireboard to phpbb originally posted at http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... 0&t=371271

Because Fireboard is little more then Simpleboard with a few tweaks, this code should work. However I seem to be having issues with the while loops in the code. Not being a php expert I can’t figure out why it’s not working correctly. I found that by removing the while loops the code does run. I am not sure if this reason the errors or occurring is because the written with php4 in mind.

The error that occurs is Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in \phpbb2\fb2phpbb2.php on line 146

I would appreciate it if someone could look at what is going on with it.

Code: Select all

    Simpleboard 1.0.x to phbBB2 2.0.x converter

    Notes from Marcos Osorno http://www.blort.com
    * Tested on: phpBB 2.0.10, Mambo 4.5 1, PHP 4.3.9, MySQL 4.0.22
    * Tested by executing from within the phpBB directory, elsewhere your mileage may vary
    * Will DESTROY all the data in your phpBB db and replace it with SB data! Does not append!
    * User features degraded from Olle's version this script doesn't check for
      banned users and does little sanity checking on moderators.

Re: Joomla Fireboard Forum to PHPBB

Post by mkruer »

Merry Xmas.
This will convert Fireboard to phpbb2. This will wipe out whatever is currently installed on phpbb2. Use a new phpbb install.

Unfortunately was not able to convert the Joomla\Fireboard password so you will need to do that manually. I created a generic administrator account called phpbb2admin with the password admin. This will allow you access to login and update passwords and groups and site maintaince.

Missing features
  • convert password
  • extended groups
I have used it to successfully convert a board with 50 forums, 3000 users and 150,000 posts.
if anyone want to pick this up they can.

Re: Joomla Fireboard Forum to PHPBB

Post by Gicker »

I've tried using the converter posted on christmas day but to no avail.

I run the script and get the following output

Importing data from Fireboard
Connecting to Database... OK
Populating Categories...
Inserted 14 Rows... OK
Populating Forums...
Invalid query:
INSERT INTO phpbb_forums (forum_id, cat_id, forum_name, forum_desc, forum_status, forum_order, forum_posts, forum_topics, forum_last_post_id, prune_next, prune_enable, auth_view, auth_read, auth_post, auth_reply, auth_edit,auth_delete, auth_sticky, auth_announce, auth_vote, auth_pollcreate, auth_attachments) SELECT id, parent, name, description, 0, ordering, c.posts, b.topics, d.last, NULL, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 1, 1, 0 FROM jos_fb_categories JOIN e LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, COUNT(*) AS topics FROM jos_fb_messages WHERE id=thread GROUP BY catid) b ON jos_fb_categories.id=b.catid LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, COUNT(*) AS posts FROM jos_fb_messages GROUP BY catid) c ON jos_fb_categories.id=c.catid LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, MAX(id) AS last FROM jos_fb_messages GROUP BY catid) d ON jos_fb_categories.id=d.catid WHERE parent != 0 GROUP BY id;
You have an error in your SQL syntax near '(SELECT catid, COUNT(*) AS topics FROM jos_fb_messages WHERE id=thread GROUP BY ' at line 6

I'm at a loss on how to edit the file in order to fix things. The mysql server is version 3.23. We're looking into upgrading to the latest version of Fedora (our core OS) and then upgrade mysql as well, as we're currently running Fedora 2 (I know... it's ancient). If this alone will fix the problem then great, otherwise any help would be appreciated muchly.

Thanks!

Was fire board or Joomla modified in any way and are you trying to upgrade it into phpbb2, Is phpbb2 a fresh copy?

Can you also check around line 90 to make sure this query is unmodified. On the output you posted there is a "Join e" which is not part of the query.

Code: Select all

    // Part Two - Populate Forums
    // phpbb2 considers category header messages as forums
    // these are indicated in sb by setting fb_messages.id=sb_messages.thread
    // the actual messages can be detected by seeing that fb_messages.parent != 0
       echo "<br />Populating Forums...\n"; flush();
        $query = "INSERT INTO {$phpbb_dbprefix}forums (forum_id, cat_id, forum_name, forum_desc, forum_status, forum_order, forum_posts, forum_topics, forum_last_post_id, prune_next, prune_enable, auth_view, auth_read, auth_post, auth_reply, auth_edit,auth_delete, auth_sticky, auth_announce, auth_vote, auth_pollcreate, auth_attachments)
               SELECT id, parent, name, description, 0, ordering, c.posts, b.topics, d.last, NULL, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 1, 1, 0
               FROM {$mosConfig_dbprefix}fb_categories
               LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, COUNT(*) AS topics FROM {$mosConfig_dbprefix}fb_messages WHERE id=thread GROUP BY catid) b
               ON {$mosConfig_dbprefix}fb_categories.id=b.catid
               LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, COUNT(*) AS posts FROM {$mosConfig_dbprefix}fb_messages GROUP BY catid) c
               ON {$mosConfig_dbprefix}fb_categories.id=c.catid
               LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, MAX(id) AS last FROM {$mosConfig_dbprefix}fb_messages GROUP BY catid) d
               ON {$mosConfig_dbprefix}fb_categories.id=d.catid
               WHERE parent != 0
               GROUP BY id;";
        $result = mysql_query($query) or die("<br />Invalid query:<br />$query<br />" . mysql_error());
if you have assess to phpmyadmin, run this SQL query. it should return a list of values.

Code: Select all

SELECT id, parent, name, description, 0, ordering, c.posts, b.topics, d.last, NULL, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 1, 1, 0 
FROM jos_fb_categories
LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, COUNT(*) AS topics 
FROM jos_fb_messages WHERE id=thread GROUP BY catid) b ON jos_fb_categories.id=b.catid 
LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, COUNT(*) AS posts 
FROM jos_fb_messages GROUP BY catid) c ON jos_fb_categories.id=c.catid 
LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, MAX(id) AS last FROM jos_fb_messages GROUP BY catid) d ON jos_fb_categories.id=d.catid WHERE parent != 0 GROUP BY id;

Re: Joomla Fireboard Forum to PHPBB

Hello

I would like to migrate my fireboard to phpbb too so i tried your script

But i get the same error ?

Connecting to Database... OK
Populating Categories...
Inserted 6 Rows... OK
Populating Forums...
Invalid query:
INSERT INTO phpbb_forums (forum_id, cat_id, forum_name, forum_desc, forum_status, forum_order, forum_posts, forum_topics, forum_last_post_id, prune_next, prune_enable, auth_view, auth_read, auth_post, auth_reply, auth_edit,auth_delete, auth_sticky, auth_announce, auth_vote, auth_pollcreate, auth_attachments) SELECT id, parent, name, description, 0, ordering, c.posts, b.topics, d.last, NULL, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 1, 1, 0 FROM psy3_fb_categories LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, COUNT(*) AS topics FROM psy3_fb_messages WHERE id=thread GROUP BY catid) b ON psy3_fb_categories.id=b.catid LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, COUNT(*) AS posts FROM psy3_fb_messages GROUP BY catid) c ON psy3_fb_categories.id=c.catid LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, MAX(id) AS last FROM psy3_fb_messages GROUP BY catid) d ON psy3_fb_categories.id=d.catid WHERE parent != 0 GROUP BY id;
You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SELECT catid, COUNT(*) AS topics FROM psy3_fb_messages WHERE id
Do you have any ideas to solve this problem ?

It would be really great if i could migrate to phpbb instead of this buggy fireboard

Hello all,

Excuse my ignorance but how do you run the above script? :oops: I'm new to all of this and would appreciate it if you could provide some hints on how to run the script.

Thanks in advance for your help. :P

Nothing complicated...you copy the script into a file you name (for exemple) convert.php

then you put this file to the root of your phpbb forum and the you call this file like this :

http://yoursite.com/yourphpbbdirectory/convert.php


but it is useless cause it doesn't work :lol:

what a pity :roll:

I don't have a lot of time to work on this. In order for me to help you I need more information on your system, such as version of FB you are using, version of php being used, version of mySQL being used, etc...

Did you go to phpmyadmin and run this script I posed above?

Code: Select all

    SELECT id, parent, name, description, 0, ordering, c.posts, b.topics, d.last, NULL, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 1, 1, 0
    FROM jos_fb_categories
    LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, COUNT(*) AS topics
    FROM jos_fb_messages WHERE id=thread GROUP BY catid) b ON jos_fb_categories.id=b.catid
    LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, COUNT(*) AS posts
    FROM jos_fb_messages GROUP BY catid) c ON jos_fb_categories.id=c.catid
    LEFT JOIN (SELECT catid, MAX(id) AS last FROM jos_fb_messages GROUP BY catid) d ON jos_fb_categories.id=d.catid WHERE parent != 0 GROUP BY id;
If so did it work or what error did phpmyadmin return.
Short of me having the database or having assess to the database, I cant really do anything.

I am glad it worked for someone other then me. I also hope someone smarter then myself will make an official converter. What I posted is a good start but its far form complete.
