@Applepiee - Hey buddy, are you able to successfully migrate phpBB to Flarum 8.0? Did you encounter any Critical that prevents from migrating to Flarum? Thanks
To everyone: I read through the discussion from 2015 to 2019 about phpBB to Flarum migration. It seems that we could migrate phpBB to Flarum. Some key points below:
1) Migrate phpBB posts to Flarum
-Based on the discussion above this is possible, but need to check.
2) Retain old URLs from phpBB posts
-As per @robrotheram we could create a viewtopic.php that would get the topic id and redirect to the correct.
-Does anyone from 2019 tried this and was able to retain old URLs from phpBB posts? Thanks!
3) Retain user data and password
-There are 2 fixes provided on this discussion:
1st fix:
On line 161 its says $posterID = 0; which i chnaged to
$posterID = $post['poster_id'];
2nd fix:
manually adding your table prefix (flarum_) to all table names after INSERT INTO.
For example:
$query = "INSERT INTO users (id, username, email, password, join_time, is_activated) VALUES ( '$id', '$formatedUsername', '$email', '$password', '$jointime', 1)";
Becomes
$query = "INSERT INTO flarum_users (id, username, email, password, join_time, is_activated) VALUES ( '$id', '$formatedUsername', '$email', '$password', '$jointime', 1)";
Thanks all! Let me know if anyone were able to migrate phpBB with Flarum this 2019 ๐ Thanks!
