Don't give up hope though. As I sad previously in this thread, you can convert to IPB and the like and follow a path to Fireboard. The only trouble is that once on something like vBulletin getting to Fireboard is still a hassle. It looks like someone has payed for a phpBB3 to FB script and may be able to share it, see thread. Good luck! and let me know how you go.

Hi.

I've made a converter of phpbb3 to fireboard. It's based on a converter of phpbb2.

I think it works fine but maybe there are some problem. If you have any problem, post a message and I'll try to resolve it.

The file is two posts later.

Karma for the contribution. I'm sure many will appreciate it.

Wonderful. I'll add a link to my first post to direct people right here.

hello
, I get this. I ve configured the script correctly and modified the prefix. It seems to use the jos_ mentioned in the script line 79
OK
Populating Categories...
Invalid query:
update `jos_fb_categories`, `jos_fb_messages` set `time_last_msg`=`jos_fb_messages`.`time` WHERE `jos_fb_categories`.`id_last_msg`=`jos_fb_messages`.`id` and `id_last_msg`>0
Table 'schlogo_noiret.jos_fb_categories' doesn't exist

Oh, I'm sorry, this one has that fixed. It's only for joomla 1.5

tks

It s going further but i am getting this error:

OK
Populating Categories... OK
Populating Messages Table... OK
Populating Messages_Text Table... OK
Populating Users Table...
Invalid query:
SELECT id FROM phil_core_acl_aro_groups WHERE name='Registered' OR name='Administrator' ORDER BY name ASC
Unknown column 'id' in 'field list'

That is a problem with the version of joomla.

The other script only works with joomla 1.5. This one works only with joomla 1.0.x

A better script for joomla 1.0.x
