Will you ever make a converter for phpBB3 <_<

I'm pretty sure they will when phpBB3 hits final. Since it's so new, you probably have a backup of your phpBB2 database that you can easily port to Invision Power Board. :)

Once it reaches a stable release we will indeed :)

RC1 is a stable release isn't it??

No.

But we have, in fact, released a converter for it with the latest release of converters.

But its not available for download as far as i can see,Only for paid conversions???

It is available for download. Are you looking on the invisionpower.com website?

Nope it isn't there.

It only says phpBB 2.x in Free Converators you have to pay for phpBB 3.x

Nope it isn't there.

That looks to be right to me??

You have to pay for IPB but the converator is free, otherwise JasonIPS would have said something.

Who in their right mind would be using a pre-release of PHPBB 3 anyways...

Ok guys. To make life easier.

Here is the link to our recent release listing of converters. We are quite busy with many projects. That tiny list of "Free Converters" on the site needs to be updated. Everything on the list, is in the zip file, you can download. I should know that phpBB3 is in the list of free converters, I put the zip together :)

The payment is for IPB to use converter to convert from phpbb to ipb,the license for ipb(I already have one) is extra.Unless of coure fee of $60 does cover ipb licence as well,in which case i will have it converted twice :lol: :rolleyes: :P :P

As for 2nd point,usually people who know what they are doing with boards who can take the few bugs in their stride,i have always used ipb rc versions in past untill final comes out.
Fancied a change but phpbb just doesnt do what i want it to do,so its back to ipb.

& the converter is definately not there for free download.

When was it updated Jason,Downloaded it last night & it only supported phpbb2,
Just downloaded it again.
Many Thanx

It hasn't been updated since the new release. I just downloaded it and it is definitely in there.

Any news when will be an update for converter? I currently have PHPBB3 on my site, got a license of IPB and now I wanted to convert, all worked fine, converted all users, topics, admins etc BUT old passwords don;t work.

Any news when will be done? Once again, everything was fine but the passwords. Thanks in advance

And, where is the converters download page?

In the knowledge base, I think.

Tried again to convert a fresh install, everything gooes smooth until the end, no errors at all.

At the end my board is offline and cannot log in with any usernames, and I'm the Admin, Root or whatever name has the founder. I was able to reset the password last time and activated the board but all passwords were not correct, no one could login.

I also converted from PHPBB3 to VBulletin 3.6 and worked fine. They have in their convertor phpBB3 RC7 to VB 3.6.8 to choose from and it worked.

Why with your convertor all works fine only the passwords don't?

I'm lost :(

im going to guess something to do with "how" phpbb3 encodes the passwords?

or maybe they deviously moved the password section of the DB to another spot to throw us off? :lol:

But why the Impex converter from vBulletin worked to convert with no errors and passwords OK?

I have phpBB3 Gold and everything was ok even if they didn't had in "convert from" list Gold but RC7 version of phpBB3

Hey guys,

I've finished updating the phpBB3 converter. It now accounts for their ridiculous password hashing algorithm and their other changes. Once the zipped file on the site is updated, I will let you guys know.

Thank you so much Jason, I'm waiting for this converter because I don't like Vbulletin

Okay,

I just finished it and the .zip file has been updated on the conversions page. It accounts for all updates and the new password hashing routine.

I will be looking into adding group conversion, after the holidays.

if you have any issues, email conversions@invisionpower.com

Just finished the conversion, everything is great now, Thank you again JasonIPS !!!
