The conversion is going well. The wwwboard section of it is done for the most part. The final version of the script did work.
It was able to take the names in and take the emails in. Also, many of my wwwboard messages did have IP addresses. The conversion script was able to take the IP addresses in.
I'm actually not anywhere near finished though, this is the beginning of what may be a very long process. Here are some questions.
1) I have even more old message boards that I'd like to convert to fudforum. Some have converters, some do not. Here are the details on them.
a) One is from a website called "inside the web". Before insidetheweb.com closed down, I was able to take a backup from that site. What it gave me was a seemingly fairly simple txt file or csv file - it has a subject, date, a blank field apparently, the message, the username and a email address. The replies to messages appear directly below the original message, with a re: attached. Is there a "flatfile" to fudforum converter, or would one of these be easily created if I came up with the txt file or the csv file?
b) I used phpbb for a while. I had the phpbb messageboard installed and working on one or another website, and at some point it was deleted. I did save backups from the phpbb. I know that there is a converter for phpbb to fudforum. Could I use the converter to take my backup phpbb files into fudforum, or do I have to install phpbb, put the backup into the phpbb that I've installed, and then convert from phpbb to fudforum that way?
2) other questions that I might have later.
