Ido Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hello, Hope I'm posting this in the right forum. I recently bought a license, and I'm eager to upgrade my old PHPBB2 to the latest version of IPB3. So far I downloaded RC1 and installed it in a separate folder on my server. Is there a way to convert the old users, posts, etc. from my old forum to the new IPB3? I looked all over the website and I couldn't find it. Any help is appreciated! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 The converters will be available when IPB3 goes final - but I've only written one for phpBB3 (seems pointless to write converters for such old software). So; you could either use the existing converters to convert phpBB2 --> IPB 2.3, and then upgrade to IPB3 -or- you would upgrade to phpBB3, then when the converters are available, convert to IPB3. The former seems like it would be the easier option :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ido Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thank you for the reply Mark! I'll upgrade to PHPBB3 and then convert. Where can I get the convector? Still can't find it in the customer section. Edit: Sorry, I didn't realize it isn't available yet, first sentence confused me. So allow me to be the annoying questioner - are you guys not going to release the convectors before the release? :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Meh - the phpBB3 converter is ready... I suppose I could build a release for you... you'll be the first person to use it though so expect a couple of bugs ;) It's is on my work computer - so I'll get that for you at some point tomorrow.
