Topic: Converter upgrades

Chacmool sends word that he has updated his previous migration tools and added a new tool for converting from vBulletin 3 to PunBB. There are now converters available for Invision Power Board 2, phpBB 2, MiniBB 1.7 and vBulletin 3. Great work! As usual, you can find the converters on the download page.

Update 2004-11-04: What used to be a series of converters has now merged into the PunBB Migration Tool. Kudos to Chacmool!

Re: Converter upgrades

You'd have to ask Chacmool about that. I have nothing to do with the converter.

PunBB Migration Tool
The PunBB Migration Tool is a utility for migrating to PunBB from a series of other forum software. It works by converting the database from the source forum into a PunBB database. The migration tool has been developed by David Djurbäck (a.k.a. Chacmool). In it's current version, the tool supports conversion from the following forum software:

Invision Power Board 1.3
Invision Power Board 2.0
MiniBB 1.7d
phpBB 2.0
PHPNuke 7.4
vBulletin 3.0.0
YabbSE 1.5.5
If you are currently running a forum that the migration tool does not support or if you've run into what you believe is a bug, contact David at chacmool at gmail dot com. The latest version of PunBB Migration Tool can be downloaded from the following location:

PunBB Migration Tool 1.0
As of this time, the migration tool does not support conversion to PunBB 1.2. In order to convert from one of the above products to PunBB 1.2, you will need to convert to PunBB 1.1.* and then upgrade to 1.2. Support for PunBB 1.2 is coming soon.

Please note that the migration tool is unofficial and that any support questions therefore should be directed to the author.
