I have to correct myself. Polishing the migrated post in the new punBB board from wrong codes (like: :a58714dfdf) the "tags in tags" runs OK, like in the phpBB original board: the problem, so, is during the migration only when the strange codes (:a58714dfdf) are added. The converter when founds a tag in tag post to migrate, add them and, of course, the migrated post appear with these additional characters.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much, elbekko: a very good work.

Unfortunately this mod works with perfectly-written post only.
I intend these:

[quote]Quoted text[/quote]
[quote="candyman"]Quoted text[/quote]

In my forum, not all the users are careful to style. Many report the full post they refer to, with all the bold, italics and also images.

I've noticed that every BBcode tag inside a quote generate an error. Smilies too.

For example:

[quote="candyman"][b]Quoted text[/b][/quote]

or:

[quote="candyman"][url=http://punbb.org]Quoted link[/url][/quote]

like double quotations:

[quote="candyman"][quote="elbekko]candyman's quoted text[/quote]
elbekko's quoted text[/quote]

generates the famous error:

[quote:a58714dfdf="candyman"][/quote:a58714dfdf]

Any ideas? In any case THANK you (and Smartys too) for your precious help: correctly styled post are correctly converted.

Well, maybe I made some errors but the problem remains... sad

Can you tell me exactly where to put these lines?
I've substituted to the corresponding ones in the original _config.php file but the strange characters before the author's name are still there...

D'oh! big_smile

Please tell me what are the lines that, according to you, should I remove from the original _config.php file.
Then, I'll give a try.

Maybe the recognition/migration of the quotes characters before and after the nickname can be the problem?

The standard in phpbb is:

[quote="nickname"]quoted post[/quote]

Hope this helps.

No way.

Author's nick doesn't appear.
Only this:

wrote:

quoted post

It seems that

[quote="any username"]quoted post[/quote]

becomes

[quote=]quoted post[/quote]

sad

Thank you, Smartys!

In phpBB, the quotation code is like this:

[quote="candyman"]Post you want to quote[/quote]

with quotation marks around the nickname.
Using the Migration tool tha author's name is ignored and the citation is anonymous.

Can anyone help me, please?
I'd like to migrate from phpBB but, at the moment, I'll get all the quotes without author's name... sad

If I remove the quotes

[quote="Alessandro"]=> [quote=Alessandro]

in the original phpBB posts before migrating, should I leave you mod

'[quote]', => '[quote$1]',

too?

No way.
I?ve tried according to your mod but I get this strange code:

9a2d097bd0="Alessandro" wrote:

8d6cfb7db9="Maria" wrote:

I mean that the username now are OK but the code isn?t OK.
Another question: how can I change the word "wrote" in "ha scritto" according to the language (Italian) of my board?

Thanks!

I know, but the converter doesn't... tongue

Yes. The quote remains but with no author so

quote="Tommy" => quote

If I remove all the quotes from the original phpBB posts, the names will be correctly migrated?

I made the migration of a 'phpBB' database to 'PunBB', and the names in quotes (like: "Tommy wrote:") had disappeared.

Same problem for me. Maybe the problem is is that

phpBB => quote="Tommy"
punBB => quote=Tommy

Any suggestion or must I remove all quotes before starting the migration?

Also pools doesn't work: may it depends from the language of my forum (Italian)?

Thanks in advance.
