tonight I'm converting the real forum. last night was only a quick test forum i made.

I'll take notes on the process i went through to convert from phpbb 2.0.10 to nuke (version 7 phpbb module version 2.0.5)

------edit below-------

Well, the old site admin never got around to upgrading so I was moving from phpbb to phpnuke.

I had to make the same changes with this move as I did on my test 2.0.10 board.

the changes I had to make were:

prior to running the nukesql php script modify the phpbb_forums database. Add a new coloum to this table titled "events_forum", this table's values are: tinyint (1), null, default:0

I dont know if this is an issue with the default phpnuke install, but I was experimenting with my php nuke install and had made some phpbb forums. So prior to running this script I emptied all nuke_bb* tables and nuke_users. Anyway, I had to import the phpbb_config table into nuke_bbconfig by hand and, ofcourse, update the values to reflect the new site.

I had to do the same with the nuke_bbthemes and nuke_bbthemes_name tables - i had to convert them by hand from phpbb to nuke.

I used phpmyadmin for these updates, I also did not start from a fresh nuke install, i instead emptied all the tables that this script would modify (and some it did not) so you may not have to go through some of these steps when upgrading your own board.
