Converting phpbb stand alone to pnphpbb 1.2i in Zikula  Bottom

  • Ok - I have a fresh install of 1.2.8 running. I also uploaded and turned on manually the pnpphpbb module (I know this will be outdated per some other conversations on here once Zik is updated but I have an existing board is the reason).

    So I have an existing phpbb board that was stand alone (neither Zik nor PostNuke) - it has over a year of activity on it and I dont want to lose it. I would like to convert it to run inside the pnphpbb module as it is basically the same board just embedded.

    Any ideas how this can be done?
  • There is a conversion script included in the module, but this is not working any more in Zikula > 1.1. However, there is still a path to get it done. Keep what you have, and install in a sub directory the old Postnuke, e.g. from http://zikula.at/archiv/PostNuke-0.800-RC3-FULL.tar.gz , and run the PNphpBB2 installer there. It includes an option to convert your standalone phpbb to PNphpBB2. After done, move the *_pnphpbb module tables into your new Zikula install.
