yea it's the same one from before... and now I'm starting to screw it even more: I accidentally deleted a phpbb table.. I think it was something related to making polls/voting on polls because now I can make posts with polls but can't view the post... Heres a screenshot of my db:



[code:1]BTW just wondering.. what kind of scale does the 100 in image size run on? Is it percentage?

on my nuke PHPBB users issues.

I think I found the issue, I don't have a bbusers table as it shared with nuke_users.

so I'm going to make a copy of nuke_users to bbusers and try a conversion again.

I didn't realise that I didn't have bbusers. will let you know how it goes.

ok major progress but a step backwards.

I converted from nukebb to phpbb 100% successfully.

I have used the convertor to go from phpbb to fireboard, all the forum looks good but I have no users in joomla ?

[code:1]
Importing data from phpBB2
Connecting to Database... OK
Populating Categories... OK
Populating Messages Table... OK
Populating Messages_Text Table... OK
Populating Users Table... admin: 62, OK
Complete...
[/code:1]

how do I convert the users from phpbb into joomla ?

Thanks

Michael.

From your Code: "...Populating Users Table... admin: 62, OK" - Tells me you've only imported 1 user being 'admin'. When you run the convertor it should list every user that is transfered (admin: 62, fred: 63, john: 64 etc.). Check your phpbb user table - can you find other users?

Yup all 21,339 users are in phpbb_users

it's like it's using the jos_users table and not phpbb_users. The reason I say this is that is where the admin account is, there is no admin user listed in phpbb_users.

might try one of the other converters in this thread as I used the last one posted.

ok now i'm pissed.

have tried the nuke --> phpbb2 and that works
got phpbb2 --> smf and that works

same thing happens with the users when I go from smf --> fireboard

can get all the posts in place, but can't get the users to import from either smf or phpbb2 into joomla.

what the frack is going on ?

I really need to dump nuke/phpbb2 but can't get the content into joomla/fireboard.

I can directly import users from the nuke users table using eznukeconvertor but when importing the phpbb2 or smf forums both refuse to import the users into jos_users table.

going nuts in a quick way, I've spent a week on it so far.

Thanks for listening.

alright: I figured out which table I deleted from the phpbb db (phpbb_vote_voters) and posted a thread on the phpbb site to get help to fix it.

I also installed SMF in a new db (seperate from the phpbb db). Is this you I was supposed to do it (@ Rapid )?

Now as soon as i get that phpbb table fixed, I will convert phpbb to smf. After doing that, do I install Joomla into the SAME db as SMF? And then install Fireboard into the SAME db as Joomla and SMF? And then convert smf to fireboard?

thanks~

Yep - install SMF as a seperate db as per their install instructions. Then run the PHPBB to SMF converter.

Once SMF is ready to convert to FB you only need to run the converter - no need to merge (install) the data into the same db. You only need to add your username, password & db name to the mysql.php file. Make a SMF db backup first!

that didn't work for me....

got all the posts but no users.

grr someone shoot me.

Ok - so you now have a SMF forum on your site that is fully converted with users and posts correct?
Did you then add your details to msql.php and upload the two conversion files to a new directory (e.g. www.yoursite.com/convert) then run www.yoursite.com/convert/index.php ?
What responce do you get???
