WBB2-PHPBB3

A coulple of converter scripts for WoltLab Burning Board Lite 2 (2.1?) to PHPBB3.

Dependencies

• PHP 5.3
  • PDO
• PHPBB STK (Support Toolkit)

Usage

Just copy everything onto your server, edit the file DatabaseFactory.php to match your settings and run the scripts in the following order:

• forums.php
• topics.php
• posts.php
• messages.php
• users.php
• statistics.php

Now got to the STK and run the following jobs:

• Support Tools -> Orphaned Posts (check if everything imported correctly)
• Support Tools -> Fix Left/Right IDs (just to be sure)
• Support Tools -> Reclean usernames
• Admin Tools -> Reparse BBCodes (check the box to reparse everything)

This should have done the trick.
