Converting phpBB to Web Wiz

I know this has been discussed a little here before, but for anyone who cares to know, I am in the process of converting my phpbb board over to web wiz. If anyone wants to discuss it, I would be glad to.

I have the Usernames and passwords all coverted, and I am working on the forms now. So users can at least log in now.

There are several ways to convert the phpbb MD5 passwords to webwiz forum. For anyone who wants a quick and easy way, you can just change the Web Wiz encryption to MD5 without using a salt key.

It is better to use a salt key, but you will have to do a little more work for that, but it isn't too bad and can be done.

Waiting to see if there is any interest.

Well, I manually write the code 

But after that my code did/will do all the hard work.

Well, If anyone wants to know more about how to change wwf to MD5 encryption then message me and I will try help you out, but here is a start.

Keep Encryption variables set to true in both common.asp files.

Then create a File that contains a VBScript MD5 function (email me if you need one) to a file called MD5.asp in the functions directory.

Then find any file in the site that has an inlcude of  functions_hash1way.asp and change the code to include your MD5.asp instead.

Then find every place in the site that calls the function HashEncode() and change it to call your MD5() function.

you also have to remove all the places that add a salt key to the end of your password, but they are all pretty close to the same line of code as the HashEncode().

Its not as hard as it may sound. once you have your code changed then edit your Administrator's password to the MD5 encrypted string of your password, if you are converting from another board like phpbb then you can just cut and paste your password from your other board into the wwf password field. You can then loggin and it will use md5 encryption.
Of course now you will not be using a Salt key.

but I hope that can help someone.
