The importer file is attached at the bottom of this post (and if anyone would like to improve it, feel very free).
Things it imports:
- topics and posts
- members
- polls (but not their votes, see below)
- forums (but not their permissions, categories,
etc)
- private messages
Noteable things it doesn't import:
- poll votes (phpbb seems to not record individual votes, only totals)
- IP addresses (phpbb stores them in some odd non-literal format, appears to be hex)
Please be aware when downloading that this importer has undergone virtually no testing. I was importing a forum that had 3 topics, 4 posts and 1 member -- it is therefore possible that some issues didn't show up for me that will show up with a normally-sized forum.
You should keep your old forum installed, take a few days to look over the WSN Forum imported version and be sure nothing has gone wrong before you direct your posters at the new forum. (Just re-import when you're ready to go live, in order to not lose a few days of posts etc.) Report any bugs/issues in this thread.
Tested with phpBB 2.0.13, but I presume it should work with any 2.x version. |
