Convert RN to PHPBB3

Is there anyone who can convert my RN install to PHPBB3?

How much would this cost?

Are you looking to swap out the phpBB2 for phpBB3 or to replace the whole CMS? (Big difference. I am not offering, just helping to clear up the requirement.)

I want to convert the entire RN cms into a PHPBB3 board only.

Pan,
In that case I would suggest you ask over at PhPBB3 forums.

you cant convert a CMS to a phpBB , however you can convert your raven-nuke users and phpBB2x forum to phpBB3x.

The only thing I want to keep is the users and all the forum posts etc.

RN has more than I need it to have and it's too hard for me to upgrade it. i can't find a theme I want and my website has been dwindled down to only needing the forums. and phpbb3 would be best for me.

there must be a way to save the posts and users etc. and convert it to a phpbb3 standalone forum?

Can I ask why you think it is hard to upgrade? Is it because you have lots of forum mods?

pan, Dawg meant in the forums at the phpBB3 site, not in the phpBB forum here. Wink

@pan...

backup your nuke_users table ,once done that , copy it and open a text editor and change nuke_users to nuke_bbusers.
upload the phpbb3 forum and run the installer.
you will see a CONVERT option , follow the rest of the install procedure.

if everything goes right , your php2 forum will be converted to phpbb3.

Aditionally you could use the osc2nuke phpbb3 bridge, so you could still keep your cms and have phpbb3 in another folder as standallone.
if a user logs in , he's also logged in the standallone phpbb3 forum.
Same for user creation.

I've read and tried to contact this ameeck guy, i'm not convinced his program works.

Anyway I don't know enough about it; I can't afford a screwup.

does his program work for ravennuke?

I REALLY need this done..

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

All I really need is the users and posts to be saved and transferred to an installed phpbb3 board.

You could try the 'for hire' forum.

This is in the For Hire forum. Wink
