Moving from newbbex to newbb

I started with newbbex to keep it simple but it kinda sucks (sometimes) so i want to move all posts to newbb. The newbbex readme says moving from newbb tot newbbex only requires changing the database names, i tried that in the opposite direction but that didn't quite work :(. Any help? plz homies

I suppose that if it's possible to go from newbb to newbbex without executing a conversion script then it should be possible to go the other way?

A good starting point would be to compare the number/names of the newbbex tables in the database with those from a standard newbb/CBB installation.

I'm willing to help with the comparison as I use CBB 3.08

What are the newbbex tables in your database?

thanks for the feedback, these are the tables:

what i tried before was:
- install newbb
- delete tables of newbb that newbbex had too
- rename all bbex tables to bb
and that didnt work

Hi,

My cbb installation has the following tables:

prefix_bb_archive
prefix_bb_attachments
prefix_bb_categories
prefix_bb_digest
prefix_bb_forums
prefix_bb_moderates
prefix_bb_online
prefix_bb_posts
prefix_bb_posts_text
prefix_bb_reads_forums
prefix_bb_reads_topics
prefix_bb_reports
prefix_bb_topics
prefix_bb_postdata

I think you're going to struggle.....unless you can persuade phppp/bandit_x to provide a conversion script?

Would it help if I made a SQL-dump of my tables so that you could see what was in them?

Might help get you a little closer, perhaps?

Please can you PM me with your email address and I'll send the dump over to you this evening (GMT).

.sql.gz file okay or would you rather than a .zip file? Please say which you'd prefer.
