A database conversion for phpBB to phpNuke is now available here
http://evaders.swrebellion.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=10
I created it after finding the ones out there slower and inefficient. It is tested with an original phpBB 2.0.19 and a phpNuke 7.6 + BBToNuke 2.0.19 package, however it should work for other versions if the version numbers are identical.
Please tell me if you have any problems _________________ Evaders99 Webmaster Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

20 Downloads.. and someone already put it on warp-speed.de already. Go figure _________________ Evaders99 Webmaster Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

Mmm possibly. I honestly have not tried - but my guess is that it would work.
I see the issue. phpNuke puts the underscore after the prefix, but phpbb puts the underscore as part of the prefix. This is going to take some changes to the phpbb2phpnuke.php code
Tell me if that works please _________________ Evaders99 Webmaster Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

Cool, that'll work too. My thought was you probably wouldn't want to go and rename every table. But since you did that, glad it worked _________________ Evaders99 Webmaster Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

Of all the crap that's out there on the web for this kind of stuff it makes you smile when you find something as refreshingly easy to use and effective as this one. So much so in fact, I felt the need to register just to post a big thank you for making my life that little bit easier
Glad it helped you out. _________________ Evaders99 Webmaster Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

[update]
Sorry, I discovered that the administrator account had not been removed as previously suspected. Thanks anyway - and thanks again for this tool - saved me a lot of time!

I'm working on setting up a new site with phpNuke and imported the database from an old phpBB site using this - worked great, no hitches - thanks! Very easy to use. The problem now is that it appears the import of users from phpBB has overwritten the users from the phpNuke site (not active yet, still setting up, so it's not a big problem at the moment), but apparently my superuser account from the phpNuke setup no longer exists, so now I can't login to make any changes in phpNuke. I'm brand new to this, so I might be missing something, but is there a way to recover or recreate this account in phpNuke without having to reinstall and reconfigure everything? Thanks for any input - and thanks again for the import code!
Just for information, it does not delete your Nuke authors data. However, as stated in the script - it does delete all existing user and forums data in phpNuke _________________ Evaders99 Webmaster Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

No, you can remove your original phpBB files and tables. They aren't needed _________________ Evaders99 Webmaster Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

Yes, you'd need to go to the Forums Configuration and change it. It won't detect it automatically, because it doesn't actually know where you put your files _________________ Evaders99 Webmaster Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.
