Import of a phpBB3 forum possible?

Jongbloets 26 Mar, 2013
Hi,

I'm looking for a way to replace an old phpBB3 forum by a Joomla-integrated forum. I saw that ChronoForums gets good reviews on the JED so I thought I should check it out. My first concern with this operation is that we want to preserve all of the contents and users. Would you say that this is possible with ChronoForums? I don't mind if I need to do some work in PhpMyAdmin or other tools like this, as long as you can give me directions.

Details:

phpBB3 version 3.0.4
There are about 1,300 topics with 4,500 posts and 1,600 attachment files.
There are about 300 registered users which of course should integrate with Joomla user administration.

The Joomla site is Joomla 2.5.9. At present we use a jFusion brigde for integration of the users of phpBB3. Also, we use Community Builder (version 1.9) on this site. This combination of user integrations is causing some troubles from time to time, after which we need to run repair scripts from CB or jFusion.


Kind regards,
Frits

Hi Frits,

I don't think that anything exists at the moment but Max is working on a migration script because he wants to move this forum (which is PHPBB3) into ChronoForums. Watch this space, but probably not for a little while yet.
