Forum migration: newbb_to_phpbb

Hi Guys,

During the last few weeks I've been working on a migration script
(newbb_to_phpbb) based on a code provided to me by Marcus Moeller to
move Xoops+CBB forums, topics and posts into phpBB system.

The users are copied from xoops user table onto an LDAP server.

More information in the wiki page:
http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/forums/newbb_to_phpbb

It would be nice if you could test this application, and check the
overall process so we can get what we need to migrate newbb to phpbb.

The application's download link is in the wiki page above. Note that it
is in a test mode yet and requesting for comments.

Best Regards,

I personally have no dump of the xoops user table, so maybe Karan
could give it a try. LDAP connection is already set up on TestVM.

I can definitely arrange for that - however the idea of a 'copy' cant
work - we need to have a situation where the userdata is shared between
the rest of the website and whatever we are using for the forums ( I was
under the impression that this was a goal ? ).

Tell me what you need, and I will make sure you get it. Please do not
rely on me to do more than that. There just isnt enough time. And I
think there are people here who are way better qualified and aware of
issues around forums and websites.
