PHP BB -> GForum

PHP BB -> GForum
Has anyone successfully ported a phpBB 2.x database (users and threads) to Gossamer Forum when swapping forum software that you know of? Or is there a known patch/cgi file to do this.

I am just curious. If there was such patches around, and it was made known, maybe GT would get a couple more sales from people using other forum scripts such as phpBB.

Ich hoffe Sie mich kümmere um mich nicht Ihren Pfosten ins Englische für andere Mitglieder übersetzend. Die Übersetzung kann ein wenig lustiges sein, wie ich altavista.com Übersetzungsdienst verwendete.

Re: [jmar] PHP BB -> GForum In reply to
Just so you guys know, I'm working on a plugin for this. Its not going to be anything fancy, but so far I have it importing the users ok, and now I'm working on the generation of the categories (this will be fun Unsure).

I was going to release this as a freebie, but its taken me so long to get as far as I am now, that I'm going to have to charge it. If I can get a few users to "donate" say $200 between then (i.e $20 each, between 10 of you), then I could release it as a freebie for the other users. I just need to get something back from this plugin, as I've lost a good day and a half so far playing with it (the only reason I've continued to work on it, is because I *know* that people need it).

Please let me know your thoughts :)

Cheers

I'm getting there. All I have to do now, is the actual posts themselves (looks quite complicated Unsure). The users, categories and forums now all seem to work ok :)

Cool :) Anyone else interested in this plugin? I could just do it for $20 to everyone, but I would prefer to get say 10 sales upfront, and then be able to give it away as a freebie (does't seem fair to charge to everyone, but I can't do it completly free, as its cost me a lost in development time Frown).

I have now finished the plugin. Please note, you will need to upgrade to phpBB 2.0.8 before you can run the import, as it is designed for that database structure :)

If you are interested in this plugin, please PM or email me, and I'll get back to you.
