Important phpBB Migrator: Looking for phpBB3 users that want to convert their data to Kunena 1.6

Sorry about the lack of updates. We have just been too busy on Joomla 1.6 and Kunena 2.0 related tasks.

I know several of you are waiting for an update, but we have not had a chance to make any significant progress on this. I realize this is frustrating, but nobody on the volunteer dev team had a chance to step up to this.

Woohoo! An update! Just what we've all been hoping for.

Can someone tell me what the "hash" field is for in the kunena_attachments table? How is it generated, and what is its purpose?

I'm working on converting attachments myself.

Im a new Poker Tour and in need of serious fast transfer of my members from phpbb3 to kunena 1.6.3 Please help me out as all these members are critical to our online and live tour and manually enetering ll users is alot of work. we have 1k members and all i want is the usernames transffered. I dont want any posts and i have the username SQL

Then you don't need a migrator at all. Just go through the phpBB -> Fireboard transfer as outlined here . It will transfer all your phpBB users into Joomla (and therefore Kunena). Then you can delete Fireboard and its database tables.

will that let them log in with same passwords

I don't know about Joomla 1.6. I have no intention of using that anytime soon, it's full of bugs and it won't even be supported for very long. Joomla 1.5 is very stable and will be supported for a long time (at least 2 more years).

It works fine for Kunena. Although I could not upgrade from Fireboard to Kunena 1.6.3. I had to do:

Fireboard -> Kunena 1.6.2 -> Kunena 1.6.3

There's a bug in the Kunena 1.6.3 installation routine that prevents importing Fireboard content.

By the way, this method transfers all users AND posts. It just doesn't transfer any attachments.

Do you still look for a phpbb forum ?
I have over 8000 posts and about 750 members.
