Trying ourselves for Eve Community to phpBB

Post by lws96 »

Hello everyone

Since there is not a conversion out there to convert the Eve Community (Social Strata) to phpBB, I have hired a database team to do the conversion. It seems we have run into an issue. Under Eve, people log in using their email address, but the posts are under a "Display Name"

We either:

* Have the Display Names as usernames, it show up under Member list by their email address (but still shows their display name) so if your username starts with an A but your email address starts with E, you are found under "E"
* Posts are under the username when viewing the overall topics


Or:

* Have the display names as usernames, it shows up under Member List under their display name letter
* Posts from the forum areas show their email address
* Individual posts show as their display name
* Apparently the "Last Post by [email protected]" on the main pages do not correspond to the last poster's "display name" on the post itself.

The site is gconverter[dot]net/demo/gd/1628/

You do not need to log in to see the issue with the postings.

What field in the phpBB database do the messages look at to display the poster in the overall forum listing and for the individual posts?
