Making a perfect snitz -> phpbb conversion

[cioto]

Hi there, I'm new here, if this isn't the right forum please move the topic...
I've just converted offline my forum from snitz to phpbb, the conversion is fine and the forum is working, but there are some little issues i'd like to solve.
Maybe you know that phpbb stores the images in the posts in a particular way, so that they aren't displayed automatically in the new phpbb forum.
The bad thing is that I don't know how this is done, if anybody could help me in this conversion it will be great.
Thanks!

No way to get some help?

Hi Cioto...

Once you have perfomed the conversion, rub this script:-

http://files.webforumz.com/fixbbcode.txt

This needs to be installed in your forum directory. remove the file (for security) once you've ran it.

Hope this helps you.

Many thanks Rob!
I'll check it right now and let you know of course.

Is it supposed to give a confirmation of its work? Something like "conversion done"? After 2 minutes my browser stops.
I'm checking the results, it seems to me it has worked well, but I fear my browser has stopped for errors or timeout and maybe there were still posts to convert since there's no confirmation.

I've noticed your post on the phpbb forum:
http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic...=asc&start=255
In the code you gave there there are also posting color, list and font size correction, that there aren't in your last code. Is it ok?

PS sorry for the post flooding in this topic...

Hi.

If you have run the script and received no timeout error (which you havent) then you are good to go.

The download I gave you is the most up to date script to my knowledge.

Have fun.

Thanks for your time Rob!
I have added this in the script you gave me

Code: Select all

$post_text = str_replace('topic/.asp?TOPIC_ID', 'viewtopic/.php?t', $post_text);

I'd like in fact to convert the internal forum links. Do you think it may work?
