UseBB Community

Hello all,

I have the project to create a French community for UseBB. But in the same time, I wish to convert my board (http://www.informatiquefrance.com/forum) Invision Board into UseBB forum. I would like to know if there were already quite large board in UseBB, and if tests had been carried out with board of arround 50000 messages.

In order to simplify the process but also to contribute to the project, I will code the converter Invision Board 1.3.x => UseBB 1.0.1. We agree that nobody already did it?

Bye.

UseBB has been tested with a board of about 45.000 posts and there didn't seem to be a problem.

To my knowledge, an IPB convertor does not exist at this time.

OK thanks.

I know how work Invision Powerboard very well. I have just to study the database schema of UseBB.

I took a look to the phpBB convertor, it can help me.

So I begin the development, I keep you informed.

I got a problem with avatar_type value.
1 = there is an avatar
0 = there isn't an avatar
Is this right ?

Thanks.

I guess it is.

Hello

I am on holiday, and I have not had Internet for 3 weeks. Nevertheless, I continued my work. I have to encounter certain problems, and the most important could also relate to the phpBB convertor.

Indeed, it is not possible to work on two databases at the same time with the class db. So during a conversion, the tables of the forum which will be converted must be in the same database as the tables of useBB. Thus either class data base is to be re-examined, or the phpBB convertor must be modified.

Do you see what I mean ?

The convertor has been tested using two seperate databases and logins for the phpBB and UseBB's database.

If you encounter problems, please open a new topic in the Help & Support forum, because this is offtopic.
