Importers just take quite awhile to do. I did finish the Eve one, currently working on the vbulletin one. The reason they take so long is I basically have to figure out the entire database structure of the forum we're importing from in order to bring everything over. Some of the database structures are pretty complicated and not easy to figure out.

see, slaving

I could send you impex which contains the scripts to convert to vbulletin which im sure will help you out.

Isn't it zend encoded (ie you can't see the source)?

Doesnt look like it

Just out of curiosity, how's this importer looking?

I believe Sirdude was working on one. I think it's probably going to be done after 7.3 is out however, since we're totally revamping the permission system for 7.3, and that way he can get it to import more completely.

yes, Rick got it right. i was steaming ahead and pulling it into 7.2, but then realised he's putting in a permission matrix (7.3) that will probably be very nice for us to import INTO. (yes, giz even global moderators too )

fusionBB 2.1 has such a beast, albeit it won't be as nice as Ricks (yes i'm biased)

sooooo, i screeched the brakes on it for now and am trying to coincide with 7.3 or just after 7.3 (ie wait for it to settle a bit).. the importer would be affected by using bitwise or'd permissions or tinyint(1)'s for example..

then we should be able to go fbb2.1 --> ubbt7.3

one thing they have is that famous salty password, so i'm not sure if we won't force users to have to initially re-set their psw to get it going..

now, one thing i thought of.. was just to salt the psw's the same way in 7.3 (would affect upgrades) and *poof* done.. looks like fbb does their salting the same way that vbulletin does.. (just a random muse there)

bottom line: i'd call this baby percent complete at 65.34% (kidding) it's about 60/40 right now..

i knew that we'll have gm's before you so shh

and that is somehow significant to the importer, how ?
