Anyway, there was more to it than this. Below all this junk, the normal profile of the person displays, and I'm able to edit it without a problem. This only happens in the fireboard admin area, not any of the others. Any idea what might be going on? Is there a way to get rid of this? Is it related to the converter or is it just a general problem with the fireboard beta I'm using. I'm kind of new to both fireboard and joomla, so any help people could toss my way would be appreciated.

got the same problem, would clean up the data bank, if that helps, but how did this happen in first place? and is anybody ever answering any question here at all? I feel pretty left alone with the fireboard installation...

Well, I uninstalled and reinstalled the forum, this time without adding in my users/posts from phpbb, and the problem was still there with my admin account. So it looks like the problem is more related to fireboard itself, and not the conversion, per se. I suppose that's kind of good news for me, as it will make migrating my site from MDPro a hell of a lot easier.

There is a problem with one of the javascript files that causes that trash in the user administration. Read this post for the fix.

Hi,

I created a little python script to convert PM messages from phpbb to Jim.

Although probably not stricitly within the realm of fireboard, it is of use when converting from phpbb to fireboard + jim

See attached

(EDIT: Fixed the URL for the PM migration script)

I just noticed that some of the accounts that were transfered over didn't seem to bring their email addresses with them, although usernames and passwords were transferred. This could be because I'm transferring from MDPro, and there was an option to hide passwords. Any idea how to get around this?

Actually, now that I look at it, it appears that none of the emails are transferring over, and since you aren't allowed to post without having a valid email address, it's a bit of a problem. Any way you can figure out to transfer the email addresses of the users?

I'm also having problem with this

Importing data from phpBB2
Connecting to Database... OK
Invalid query:
ALTER TABLE `jos_fb_messages` ADD `phpbb_userid` int(10) NOT NULL default '1'
Duplicate column name 'phpbb_userid'

Also it seems like the script ends there as not all my messages was imported, and none of my current phpbb-users

Hope to find a solution to this because I think FB can be the best forumsolution for Joomlasites.
Maybe someone that made this work could write a guide how to do it right ?!

I get the following message when I tried to run the converter:


[code:1]Connecting to Database... OK
Invalid query:
ALTER TABLE `jos_fb_messages` ADD `phpbb_userid` int(10) NOT NULL default '1'
Table 'dandonc.jos_fb_messages' doesn't exist [/code:1]


Any ideas?

Unfortunately not.

The same problems goes through the whole thread here...
