Topic: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
Please know anybody how do this?? Thanks
Re: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
I'm want to convert phorum 5.0.11
Does anybody know how ?
Re: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
I recommend that you speak to Chacmool. He's the author of the PunBB Migration Tool. If you ask him nicely, maybe he'll consider adding Phorum support.

Re: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
dunno how well it would work (you might just get twice as many problems) but you might be able to convert it twice e.g. Phorum-phpbb-punbb if you want to do it now and not wait for chacmool - http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=26364
Re: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
phorum.org 3.x to phpBB 2.0.x
he would need to convert 5.0.11

Re: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
oh well i didn't read it, but i'm sure you can convert phorum to something that can be converted to punbb..
Re: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
It's not been much programming lately... not much punbb at all actually (I had FIVE pages of new topics when I visited the forum today :))
I might be able to help you. Though, it's much easier for me to do the conversion tool if I have a "real" database to do it on. Could you send me a sql-dump of your database for me to test with?
Re: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
Hi,
did take some time, but I've got the sql dump and will send it to your mail now.

Yes I did 
And I also made the converter, almost done now. It converts the forum data, but I've not changed anything related to BB-code and such stuff. Is BB-code included in Phorum per default, or is it a addon? (I checked the official forum, and I saw no sign of any BB-code support there).
I'll make some more changes today, and mail you the converter today or tomorrow morning.

Re: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
Hi Chacmool,
I get the following error :
An error was encountered
File: /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/sammyfilez.com/httpdocs/forum/migration/functions.php
Line: 91
Converter reported: Unable to fetch table list
Database reported: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'IN `phorum_sammyfilez` LIKE '%users'' at line 1 (Errno: 1064)
That's about this part :
// Get list of "proabable" prefixes
$prefix_list = '';
$res = $fdb->query('SHOW TABLES IN '.$_SESSION['php_db'].' LIKE \'%'.$tables['Users'].'\'') or myerror('Unable to fetch table list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $fdb->error());
while($ob = $fdb->fetch_row($res))
{
$prefix = substr($ob[0], 0, strlen($ob[0]) - strlen($tables['Users']));
$prefix_list .= ' <a href="?page=settings&newprefix='.$prefix.'">'.$prefix.'</a><br>'."\n";
}
Grtz,
Jeronimo
Re: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
I don't see where there can be anything wrong here... This SQL-query should be no problem to run:
SHOW TABLES IN punbb LIKE '%users'Or am I missing something? Different SQL-versions, user permissions and so on...

Ohh... that explains it Thanks!
Re: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
Is this converter available? I'd like to try out PunBB, but will need to convert a Phorum installation.
Thanks!

It is.
It's availible from PunBB's download page. Though, it's not the latest version, so I'll send you the converter by mail instead. I'm gonna send Rickard the updated converter later today hopefully, when I've made some more tests on it.
Re: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
The download page has now been updated as well.

Re: Convert from Phorum.org (3,5)
I have used punBB and have heard rave reviews, I would love to try it, will this conversion script work for Phorum 5.0.14a?

trakman: I can't make any promises, but I believe it will.

Hmm, he didn't say it...
Be sure to make a backup of your DB before trying!
