Hello! thanks in advance for reading this.

Im running quite a big forum with about 5,000 reg. users. im using phpbb 2.0.1. it's a stand alone version, therefore it is running without any kind of portal system.

now Im wondering if I can use the old board with xoops. I saw some modules at bbpixel.com (frankly speaking, there are 4 related to phpbb, but im unable to understand which one does what i want).

could you please tell me how to proceed? shall i first uptade the production forum to the latest version, then try to do the migration by using one of the modules (which one?).

thanks indeed for any hint!!

get the X-PHPBB 1.21E module:

also get the PHPBB to PHPBB Module converter:
http://www.bbpixel.com/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?cid=11&lid=51

converts from PHPBB 2.0.x to PHPBB Module 1.2x


i haven't used any of these products. i also have not looked at the packages, the code, etc, so make sure to read the directions thoroughly.


likely, you need to install the module on your XOOPS site, and then run the converter to import your users and posts

good luck, i would suggest posting at bbpixel for help if you need it, since this is their product
