Nuke Forums

[bigshew]

I am running phpnuke version 6.5 and phpBB 2.0.6 forums as a seperate part of my site. I am wondering if there is a way to integrate the two and load the forums onto the nuke site. When I go to the admin page for the forums on the nuke page, it appears to be the same setup as my current forums page. I tried to backup and restore but it isn't working. My current forum has been online for some time and is quite big. Does anyone know how get my forums into the forum section of my nuke site? Thanks in advance.

seems you might be able to find a converter to merge the two at Phpbb Site

NukeCops.com has a utility for this on their downloads page.

 

Used this on a phpBB site this morning and it worked pretty well with some tweaks. First, the poster_id in the posts and topics DBs were thrown off by 1 place since the Nuke DB has teh anonymous user (e.g. phpBB userID 7 is Nuke userID 8). A quick looping routine to increment those values fixed that. Also, with NSN's Account Tweak there is a new active account field which needed to be set to 1 (everyone was inactive). Finally, I couldn't get the existing admin password to work, so I cleared the authors DB and recreated. Everything seemed to work fine after that.

The problem I am actually dealing with here is I don't think integrating two different programs. I am using the phpnuke as my news page and the forum program it runs is the phpbb. So I tried to do a backup for my actual forums and then restore the backup to the phpbb on the nuke site. It doesn't take for some reason. But the two forums are phpbb so anybody have any suggestions?

The reason it doesn't take is that the DataBase for the phpbb forum and the Nuke port of phpbb are different. The utility at NukeCops.com should fix that.
