Hi,
I don't want to pay for ipb 2.0 and i think FUDforum is the best forum i've seen but i need a converter.
I have about 150 000 messages to convert and before doing this i wanted to know if the ipb 1.1.x converter is ok or not?
Thank you very much
Chris
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams ... glitter in the dark near Tanhauser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost ... in time, like tears ... in rain. Time ... to die.

Hard to say, I suspect there is a good chance an old conversion script won't work and new one needs to be written. But you can certainly try it, it won't break the existing ipb forum.

As i have a private server i copied my database to an other to test the script.
I hope to test it this we. I don't know if it exists a difference between 1.1 and 1.3 database for ipb.
I'll give some feedback.
If it fails I'll try to convert to phpbb and after to FUDforum 
Thanx

I suspect the script reaches maximum execution time limit before it had a chance to finish... Try raising that value or running the script via command line.

Yeah, via putty (ssh) or via telnet.
One of the possible reasons why importing users is slow is because the forum is importing remote avatars and validating them. You can try disabling that code in the conversion script to see if it addresses the speed issue of the conversion.

BTW, if you are willing to provide a data dump of your forum I will be able to write a direct ipb 1.3 to FUDforum conversion script.

Be sure to unlock the forum 1st via the admin control panel (Lock/Unlock) before running it, otherwise you will get permission errors.

I think you misunderstood me, when I said data dump I ment the dump of ALL the data in the forum, not the just the SQL table structure. The way we design conversion scripts is literaly converting the forum based on the datadump and ensuring that the final result resembles the original as much as possible. Consequently a solid conversion utility is created.

That's fine, send me a link via a private message and I'll try to write a dedicated conversion script in the next few days. If possible also give me a URL to the original forum so that I can compare the converted data to the original.
Also please include the conf_global.php file (remove any sensetive info from it like passwords). And the sources/lib/post_parser.php file, looking @ the old conversion script it seems have been used.
if possible also please provide 5-10 file uploads and avatars so that functionality could be tested as well.
