Hi,
I use phpBB 2.0.15 and I want to use WWF 8. Can I convert all users and posts from phpBB to WWF?
Thanks,
YIDI ------------- http://www.gruporion.com/ |

| This is a very difficult , because the coding problem of the user password, this will be almost an impossible affair. |

I tried to change and I exported from phpBB's users table to ms excell and then I imported from ms excell to WWF's tblAuthor table. And I saw "We have 400 Forum Members" but I can't login ------------- http://www.gruporion.com/ |

phpBB uses a different way of encrypting passwords than WWF does, so you will have to reset all the passwords. I'm not really sure how you would go about doing that, either, so that the right users got the right passwords.
Maybe you could make something that looped through all the users, reset the password and sent an email to the user telling what the new password is.

Every user would need to "Request their password" and WWF would send them a new password. ------------- http://www.wistex.com" rel="nofollow - WisTex Solutions http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums" rel="nofollow - CaribbeanChoice Forums |
