Hello ...

here is my first post :-)

we have a full PHPNuke site ... we would like to go with IPB with out losing the topics, users, ...etc... in the forum module.

just take the foum module to asperate IPD system ...

and keep the phpnuke for submit the news


can it be done ???

Thank you for your time.

i have a phpnuke site.

i use two different databases: one for phpnuke, one for ipb.

when a user signs up, he'll be directed to to ipb.

i edited the code in Your Account module to check against user validity in both databases [using IPB SDK 1.5.0 beta].

for example: if a is in ipb
{
login in ipb
b= check a in phpnuke
if b is true, login in phpnuke
if b is false, create a in phpnuke then login.
}
else please sign up.


if u want that code, i could post it here.

for forums conversion,

i copied all phpbb data [nuke_bb... ] to another database to work with.

i then converted phpbb data to ipb 1.3 version (using the script here somewhere on this ipb site). then upgrade from 1.3 to version 2. (i dont' know if there's a script that lets u upgrade str8 from phpbb to ipb 2).

for the users data, it was much harder. u have to convert the time the users sign up to the version ipb uses.

u can't get free support on these forums anymore, if you a buy a license, then Im sure an admin could help youout with converting your data etc.
