PHPBB3.2 merge issues

Hi Folks,

I've just tried to merge my PHPBB 3.2 forum into MyBB and have a few issues I'm hoping you can help me with:

1. I can't merge the attachments. It starts to do it but sticks at the first page and never moves on. If I refresh the page it says it has moved on to the next page of records, but then sits there until I refresh the page again.

2. I have lots of HTML formatting in every post. Can I get rid of it?

3. Lots of posts seem to have been altered, and show that the last post in a thread was by "Guest" less than 1 minute ago. This is wrong as you can see in the screenshot below - it shows who the only poster was. Also. these posts weren't made a minute ago; they actually span a number of weeks/months.

Hope you can help or I'm stuck with PHPBB :-(

Password not working after WBB3 merge

February 8, 2018, 1:47 pm

Hello everyone! I'm hoping I am at the right place to get some help. It would be awesome if someone has some ideas.

We ran a Woltlab Burning Board 3 forum for some considerable amount of time and just recently decided to switch to MyBB for a higher sense of security and such.

We used the merge function of MyBB to "transfer" our WBB3 installation to MyBB. This initially worked quite well, everything transferred without errors. Upon finishing the merge, there was a plugin active that said something like "Automatically converts WBB3 passwords to MyBB when needed".
Long story short, due to some "Thread could not be found" issues and a quick google search, we ended up backing up the database at this point, reinstalling MyBB and re-importing the database back in. This fixed all "Thread could not be found" errors, but obviously removed the plugin that converts WBB3 passwords to MyBB.

I have received three "My password isn't working?!" contact mails from people who haven't logged in while the converting-password-plugin was active.

Now the questions are:
  1. Can I send a mass-mail resetting everyone's password? If so, how?
  2. Can I activate this plugin manually? If so, how?
It would be awesome if someone could help out! Thanks in advance!

Cheers

phpbb 3.1 merge issues

I've seen questions posted that have come close to my issue, but nothing that has ever been resolved.

I'm trying to migrate a phpBB 3.1.x forum on one server to MyBB on another server. I've set the software up as directed, created an administrator user and logged in as administrator. I can run the merge utility and can get everything to port over correctly. Where I run into problems is when I try to import the Avatar and Attachments folders, I get an error message for both that says I can't read the directory (I assume it means the source directory). I've run the merge utility multiple time using different browsers and different machines. I've changed the url in the In the field where it says it's looking including a url to a local folder on my computer. Every time, i get the same error message. Has anyone else experienced this same issue that might shed some light on a possible fix?

The install seems complete when I open the forum. All posts, users, permissions, threads are there. All the avatars and attachments are missing, of course. Don't mind tell the users to re download new avatars but missing attachments is a deal breaker.

Thanks.

[For 1.8] How to Fix HTML mess in posts after Merge

March 2, 2018, 10:13 pm

(Can a MyBB staff stick this since it's a common issue for many users)

You might experience HTML codes like <br> <e> <r>, etc. The most simple method to resolve the problem is to install HTML in post plugin.

Plugin URL: HTML in Posts 1.7

Upload the inc folder to the root folder using an FTP application. Make sure you install the plugin in the Admin CP. Once you successfully install the plugin. Go to Settings (the bottom with plugin settings) Delete 4 in "Allowed Groups" for all posts in HTML to be converted.

This is a better approach than using the database or removing the HTML by hand. 

Note: You cannot add the group ID "4" for administrators allowed only groups. The HTML mess will be reverted back.

Sorry for the rush, I will update it to make it easier especially for users that familiar with MyBB. If you need help with installing the plugin before I fix this guide. You may refer a document and tutorial video for additional support. Of course, request support on the forum if you have any additional questions.

Merging from punBB 1.4.4

Hi y'all, my first post here Big Grin

Testing a merge from punBB since that seems dead and here on my test server seems to go OK.
The version we're running right now is punBB 1.3.4 but we're having an emergency upgrading in place due to the fact that reCaptcha v1 is out and us very few admins had to manually create all new accounts.

I do have a question though. What about all the addons that we used on punBB, since that BB itself didn't include functions like.... anything.

The biggest issue I have right now is the addon to upload files/images.
THIS is used a LOT!!!! We got pictures taken and uploaded and that is like 85% of the space all the files take(just a guess though, but there's lots of pictures)
These pictures are extremely important to the users since they include pictures from their projects that can be over a time period like a year, probably even be more.
Are all these addons' files and such gone? If so I don't think we can migrate without a lot of complaints.

//Cheers
Oh dear, every Swedish letter is translated to weird characters.
The old forum's collation was 'latin1_swedish_ci' and now it's 'utf8_unicode_ci' since myBB seems to want that.
Is there a way to fix this?
and all URLs are just marked with ?url?http://xxxxxxxx?/url?
fix for that?
These are either links to photobucket or such or 'internal', uploaded files to the webserver
Been checking the URLs that people are linking to, and they wont match.
Does the merging change TopicID from the original?

eg.
punBB:
Code:
?url?http://xxx.xx/forum/viewtopic.php?id=9335?/url?

I thought the new name of the PHP-file for it would be the thing in the link to see that post, something like this:

Code:
xxx/showthread.php?tid=7700
so I tried;
Code:
xxx.xx/showthread.php?tid=9335
but that pointed to a totally different post.

We have a user database that includes details about user preferences. I would like to import the users, usernames, and passwords from that database into the MyBB database.

Before striking out on my own to do this by brute force, I thought I would ask if anyone else has written a MySQL merge for this purpose?

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

Hi, I'm trying to use the merge but when importin users I have issue with names with special characters, let me show:
On the phpbb I have two users
jonatas and Jônatas, the encode is utf8_bin, but when mybb try to import, he considere jonatas and Jônatas the same user and because that issue a message of duplicated entry.

Have anyone faced this problem?
Tried a couple of configurations for encode on the merge but nothing worked.
To add more information, I changed the collation of the field username on mybb_users to utf8_bin, someone know if there is some type of problem if I let the field remain as this?

ALTER TABLE `mybb_users` CHANGE `username` `username` VARCHAR(120) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '';

database conversion from JSON

Is there any method of importing database information from an exported JSON file?  I could easily massage the data into whatever format myBB expects.

My specific case is an export from a Muut forum (https://www.muut.com), but it seems to me that a general method for JSON imports may be a worthwhile solution to cover a wide range of otherwise unsupported forums.

If this isn't possible, where can I find the docs for extending myBB's Merge system with a customized module?

Thanks.

Converting from free Forums like Zetaboards

I'm in the process of trying to convert our message boards from Zetaboards to myBB on a self Creating table mybb_forums...self-hosted platform.  Zeta boards does not give us our data so I've had to scrape it myself.

I have the bare basics of it and I'd like to either implement a homebrew solution for merging the data into mybb by hand, or using the merge system.  

I'm pretty confident that I can get the users, and the forums, topics, posts into the system easily.  But I know there are things like permissions and what have you.  I want to set everything to default as nothing is hidden at present anyway.  

If I look into the merge code will this help with the schema of things that are required?  such as user permissions and forum permissions etc?

I'm never going to have a complete data set just the stuff a user sees. *sighs*

phpBB 3.1.5 merge results

Hi!

I've recently decided to move from phpBB 3.1.5 to MyBB forums and now I'm testing it locally.

The reason is that phpBB 3.1.5 and less does not support PHP version 7 correctly and after the hosting change (including switching to php 7 version) my community became broken - every user see many errors and we cannot fix them.
Of course, I've tried to upgrade phpBB to latest version but no luck there. Update fails and phpBB community cannot help me. It's both ridiculous and sad.

First of all, many thanks to MyBB developers for really cool merge feature.

During the merge process, I struggled into several minor issues and I would like to find out how to fix them:

1. Users reg IP and last IP, actual result after merge in screenshot: http://prntscr.com/k4pemv
IP's of all users is not converted correctly.

2. Same issue with ipaddress field in mybb_posts table: http://prntscr.com/k4pt8z

3. Incorrect users birthdays, actual result after merge: http://prntscr.com/k4pkp4
Date format is very strange, also most of users has "-0- -0" date instead of NULL or empty

4. Question: It is possible to keep users IDs, topics IDs, posts IDs the same as it was on phpBB forums? Because I have many posts with internal links to another topics by IDs. I can globally replace forum path for this links but I cannot replace IDs.
Actual result after merge and re-count is that all ids was changed.

5. Users warnings is not merged. It is possible to keep/convert users warnings?

6. It is possible to remove/disable Calendar functionality? Because I do not need it and there are no Calendar in phpBB. I've tried to remove default calendar but when I click to Calendar link on header, I got an error: http://prntscr.com/k4pwmu

7. Question: I would like to use php 7.0.30 and mysql 5.7.22 on my VPS to host MyBB forums. It is okay and 100% compatible with recent MyBB build?

Thanks to everyone for replies!

How do I merge an older Invision Power Board with MyBB? [edited tile]

Hi

I have an [very] old version of an Invision Power Board that was hosted on a server.  The hosting company either went bankrupt, or were bought out, and all sites on their servers were being transferred to a new server.

For some reason my site couldn't be transferred so I was left to sort it out myself.  I found a new host and tried to transfer my board across but something went 'wrong' and the board wasn't visible.

The new hosts support is only customer support and not tech support so they were no use to me whatsoever.

In lieu of my Invision PB I set up a MyBB, and now I'm trying to merge the Invision PB with the MyBB and I'm completely lost...

I downloaded the merge system and unzipped it, and now I have to upload something somewhere...

Can someone help with what the "something" is and where the "somewhere" is...? please

I want to convert to MyBB because there is this daily, heck even hourly bug that continuously shows up on my site and its not just my site its other sites as well who are hosting the software. I have yet to read about bug using MyBB 1.8.18 or MyBB in general perhaps one or two but they haven't be consistent in their return to admin sites. 

I would like to keep all of my content [forums, subforums, topic/threads, pm, USERS]. I truly want a flawless transition if anyone can help with this or make the merge link into [new coder terms perhaps some visuals] that would be amazing. I truly need all the help I can get so that my community doesn't suffer or have to go through the bugs when I'm not around.
