Convert from Web Wiz to phpBB?

Post by sealilly »

Hey all, any (fairly simple) way to convert my Web Wiz Forum database to the phpBB database? I have the WW database on my laptop and its in Access format.

For one the Accessdb would have to be transferred to a DB format which phpbb can use (MySQL is probably the easiest - there as simple OBDC connector).
I know of no WebWiz convertor so I guess it would require some thinking through. You could start by having a look at the structure of the Web Wiz database, if it's similar to a phpBB version then it might be possible to convert.
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.
