Re: Progress report: DB Converter

It is looking good. I have phpBB, Invision Board 1.1 and Invision Board 1.2 set up on my local machine and can install other BB scripts as well. If you want any testing done let me know. Also, I have commercial webhosting with 5 mysql databases so I can do testing on a remote server if that may be of help.

Re: Progress report: DB Converter

Yeah, this looks nice. Some kind of "unified converter" would be cool.

Re: Progress report: DB Converter

Why are you waiting for SQLite support? What is SQLite?

A better database built into php5.

And I also have no MySQL support on my current workstation.

Re: Progress report: DB Converter

What does "Other" stand for? I mean like, what part of the converter is classified under Other.

Re: Progress report: DB Converter

It's more like an info page and some other stuff.

Re: Progress report: DB Converter

I've got some serious performance issues so I'll have to recode some of the code.

Re: Progress report: DB Converter

hmm... dbconverts are usually just used once... so I dont' think that's an issue... unless it times out, then it can be annoying (but can be solved like Kennel has done on the Maintenence page)

Re: Progress report: DB Converter

It times out, but I'll have a look at Kennels code

Re: Progress report: DB Converter

Hm.. Can't figure out how it works.. I mean.. all those comments makes me dissy tongue

Re: Progress report: DB Converter

If you look at admin_maintenance.php (for rebuilding the search index), you will see that it indexes a number of posts per page and then redirects to the next page (via Javascript). This way you don't have to worry about the script timing out.
