phpbb2drupal

phpBB 2 Drupal

Posted on August 26th, 2008 by You

I am the current maintainer of the phpbb2drupal module which, as the name suggests, migrates data from phpBB to Drupal.

Click here for all my posts about the phpbb2drupal module.

The HEAD release currently works and fully supports import from phpbb3.

Requirements:

  • phpass Module - There is a patched version attached at the bottom of this page with fixed bugs (allowing ). If you trust me, you can use it.
  • BBCode Module

History

phpbb2drupal now fully supports phpbb3 import

At long last, I think there is light at the end of the tunnel.

This commit should not complete support for importing data from phpbb3 to drupal. This should be available in a HEAD release within the next few hours for people to test out.

So, where are we?

1. The module is much simplified from when I took over in December. This is true both internally and externally as seen by the user.

2. User import for phpbb3 now works. This includes importing passwords, using the phpass module. There is a caveat - workaround also supplied in that link.

phpBB 2 Drupal - module status, roadmap and other ramblings

The phpBB2Drupal is one of those throwaway module - those that need it will use it once and then ignore it. I took over this module because I had an itch that needed scratching. I fixed a few simple bugs (patches supplied by others) and then ported it to Drupal 6.

phpBB3 Support, other big changes.
