Please do not use it in production unless your willing to accept difficulty of \nupgrading or correctness of the conversion.<\/em><\/p>\n <p>ForumConverter migrates post, topics, and users from one forum to a WordPress compatible forum.  Currently, \nForumConverter supports phpBB 3.0.9 to bbPress 2.0 conversion in addition to migrating users as subscribers \nto your WordPress blog.<\/p>\n <p>ForumConverter migrates users from the source forum database to WordPress compatible forum so that migraters can take \nadvantage of BuddyPress social networking.  This is not a bridge.<\/p>\n <p>For phpBB-to-bbPress conversions, ForumConverter is capable of...<\/p>\n <ul>\n<li>reproducing the same forum tree structure for bbPress<\/li>\n<li>reproducing forum post using the same same user, timestamps, sticky flag<\/li>\n<li>allowing converted users to sign on using their existing phpBB password.<\/li>\n<li>converting between BBCode or native bbPress HTML markup<\/li>\n<li>supporting inline attachment conversion and whole topic\/reply attachment conversion.<\/li>\n<li>migrating of instant messenger info, global moderator membership, and emails.<\/li>\n<li>password protected forums migration using the same phpBB password<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <p>Some things that are impossible to do for ForumConverter for phpBB-to-bbPress conversions<\/p>\n <ul>\n<li>Complete conversion of custom BBCode.

Remote conversion is not supported.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Before you start make sure you backup your databases and ftp site.  This software does a <strong>destructive \nconversion<\/strong> to your existing WordPress\/bbPress installation.<\/li>\n<li>It is recommended that you set up a development server or sandbox environment and do \nthe conversion on that machine before damaging your production server.<\/li>\n<li>Bring your phpBB installation up to date to 3.0.9<\/li>\n<li>Bring your bbPress installation up to date to bbPress 2.0.<\/li>\n<li>Upload <code>forum-converter folder<\/code> to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n<li>Activate the bbPress plugin first through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Activate the ForumConverter plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Configure the settings information for the source forum<\/li>\n<li>Press convert to start conversion.<\/li>\n<li>Delete the source forum username\/password after conversion by saving it.<\/li>\n<li>Deactivate ForumConverter plugin and activate ForumConverter-Auth plugin<\/li>\n<li>Optional: Activate the ForumConverter-Signature plugin to render signatures and edit signatures<\/li>\n<li>Optional: Activate the ForumConverter-Password plugin to edit\/remove converted forum passwords<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<h4>Does your plugin support the bbPress found on BuddyPress<\/h4>\n <p>No.  The data tables differ for bbPress 2.0.<\/p>\n <h4>Will you support bbPress found on BuddyPress<\/h4>\n <p>Maybe. BuddyPress does not support subforums or subgroups making the conversion process non-trivial.<\/p>\n <h4>What does \"Use BBCode instead of HTML markup\" do<\/h4>\n <p>If you check this option, the converter will utilize \"BBcode Lite for bbPress\" markup.  Unchecking this option will \nmake the converter use HTML markup.<\/p>\n <h4>What do I put for server prefix<\/h4>\n <p>This might be phpbb_ depending on your phpBB setup.<\/p>\n <h4>What do I put for server upload path<\/h4>\n <p>This should point to the folder containing your attachments.  For phpBB this may be contained in phpBB_InstallationFolder\/files.  Use backslashes for windows servers or forward slashes for unix or \nunix like servers.<\/p>\n <h4>How do I get BBCode Lite recognize my BBCode produced by ForumConverter<\/h4>\n <p>We do not support BBPress Lite.  But it is trivial to bring BBCode Lite up-to-date to support bbPress 2.0.<\/p>\n <h4>How do I get my plugin to support attachments produced by ForumConverter<\/h4>\n <p>ForumConverter does not utilize extra tables found in bbPress Attachments plugin and phpBB but rather utilizes wp_posts table itself.  Attachments reference their topic or posts ID in that same table.<\/p>\n <h4>How do I get forum members to take on a different WordPress group permission<\/h4>\n <p>You can modify the source code to place that user in a different user permission.<\/p>\n <h4>What sort of destructive conversion does this plugin do?<\/h4>\n <p>The plugin will delete existing bbPress 2.0 posts, replies, and post meta.  In addition, it may \ndo destructive conversion of users if it encounters an already existing WordPress user.<\/p>\n <h4>Can I deactivate this plugin?<\/h4>\n <p>If you are using password protected forums or phpBB password features do not deactivate this plugin to \nensure that phpBB password protected forums and phpBB login passwords work properly.<\/p>\n <p>With version 1.03 you can disable the conversion module and then activate the<\/p>\n <h4>Will upgrades update previous conversions missing features of the current version?<\/h4>\n <p>No<\/p>\n <h4>What password should be used?<\/h4>\n <p>Before 1.03, Any user with a phpBB account will use the phpBB username and password.<\/p>\n <p>If your using 1.03, merged users with existing WordPress accounts must use the same WordPress username and password \nwith the phpBB username lost in the conversion if a email match is found.  Any account that failed to match a \nWordPress username, or email will need to use the phpBB username and password.<\/p>\n <h4>I get \"conversion is not supported\" message<\/h4>\n <p>Make sure you activate bbPress before you do the conversion.  If this doesn't work you may try to disable the check in the source code yourself.<\/p>\n <h4>The conversion dies suddenly in the middle of the conversion<\/h4>\n <p>You need to increase your PHP script timeout period longer.  PHP kills a script after a certain amount of time.  Modify the source code and set set_time_limit to a higher value so that the conversion completes for slower CPUs.  Also there is a similar limit for MySQL also that needs to be adjusted to prevent mysql server from timing out.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>1.13<\/h4>\n <ul>\n<li>Bug Fix: Make signatures editing on WordPress backend only make changes to the viewed profile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <h4>1.12<\/h4>\n <ul>\n<li>Security Fix: Sanitize signatures.<\/li>\n<li>Bug Fix: Redirect the user back to the signature page after save.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <h4>1.11<\/h4>\n <ul>\n<li>Correct versoning for all plugins.<\/li>\n<li>Cosmetic fixes for support for bbPress 2.0.<\/li>\n<li>Few fixes to bbcode conversion markup contributed by Vato.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <h4>1.10<\/h4>\n <ul>\n<li>Bugfix: Fix incorrect url generated for attachments that are not inline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <h4>1.09<\/h4>\n <ul>\n<li>Bugfix: Fix displaying of signatures under ie8<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <h4>1.08<\/h4>\n <ul>\n<li>Created the \"Orphaned Topics\" forum to store orphaned topics<\/li>\n<li>References to missing users now link to Anonymous by default<\/li>\n<li>Bugfix: Fixed (mismatch) problem<\/li>\n<li>Added FormConverter forum passwords editor\/remover in the \"Forum Attributes\" panel<\/li>\n<li>Signature rendering added with BuddyPress and WordPress signature editors<\/li>\n<li>Bugfix: Fixed infinite loop for database retry<\/li>\n<li>Cosmetic changes for support for bbPress 2.0 Release Candidate 4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <h4>1.07<\/h4>\n <ul>\n<li>Update avatar support for BuddyPress 1.5 beta 2<\/li>\n<li>Prevent empty folder creation for posts without attachments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <h4>1.06<\/h4>\n <ul>\n<li>Add buddypress avatar support<\/li>\n<li>Reconnect on disconnect<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <h4>1.05<\/h4>\n <ul>\n<li>Bugfix: increase execution time to 1 hour for those who don't have it in their php.ini<\/li>\n<li>Bugfix: fix attachments for those not attached inline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <h4>1.04<\/h4>\n <ul>\n<li>Remove end of file whitespace to get rid of plugin activation warnings.<\/li>\n<li>Cosmetic changes for bbPress 2.0 rc 2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <h4>1.03<\/h4>\n <ul>\n<li>Sticky now really become stickies<\/li>\n<li>Support for global announcement to super sticky conversion<\/li>\n<li>Support for topic locking<\/li>\n<li>Support for forum post locking<\/li>\n<li>Support automated forum conversion resulting in forums being automatically marked hidden, read only, or read or writable<\/li>\n<li>Bugfix: keep messages contained in log viewer<\/li>\n<li>Prevent banned users from subscribing, or replying or creating topics<\/li>\n<li>Better user merging to prevent orphaned ownership and better preservation of user capabilities.
