anyone did something similar? 'cause I'm on it, I managed to convert my user list in a very lame way (printing out stuff, then importing it via phpmyadmin) but It works like a charm (even passwords are ok)
In the topic table I see that poster id (topic starter) isn't stored, or is it somewhere else?
http://punbb.org/docs/dev.html#dbtables - that might help.
thanx... it looks ok so far, I imported all the topics too, and now for the posts... I don't know if it will work the same way (print, csv_import, pray)... any ideeas would be apreciated
looks like this so far: http://raziel.rdsor.ro/techno/punBB/
http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=8545 might be useful as it will sort out the post counts for users, forums and topics once you've imported all the data.
Yes I downloaded that too, I will run it after all the import is done (pruning worked with users)
bad thing is Replies, Views, and Last post won't appear while viewing topics, although I checked the topics table and it's there... is it 'cause posts aren't imported yett?
