MyBB… I like the way you import?
Published by Tikitiki November 13th, 2006The whole point of the MyBB Import system is that you can merge databases. You can also select what to import, and what not to import. Now it’s not finished, but I’ll explain what the system does and how easy it really is!
The first step - The welcome page! Not all of the converters have been finished, but this shows what will be done by the time 1.4 is released. Currently we’ve finished: MyBB (Merge), SMF, phpBB 2, and PunBB.
The second step shows you the module list. You’ll need to fill in your database configuration details as shown in the picture below.
This page is where you’ll fill in the database details of the database you want to import.
Once you are done with that, you’ll get back to the module page. Here you’ll see that you can select a module to start out from. These modules need to be done first because data is required from these modules for other modules.
Here you’ll input how many of the module you selected you want to import. Once you’re done with this, click next to continue.
At this screen, it shows you whats been run in the module. Click next to continue; If there are more it will continue on with the module, otherwise you’ll be sent back to the module list as depicted in the picture below.
Here you’ll be able to select the next module, or, if your finished, you can press ‘Clean Up’ and it will show the next page.
The is the last page of the importer before you can visit your new imported board 
You can also pause modules so you don’t have to run them all. Say you only wanted to import 10 threads. And of course, you can resume the module if you wish to continue importing them, but we’ll get into that more later
Whoa! Thats some really good work and effort you have invested in this converter. I like it how it is all integrated, verry nice work, keep it up!
It wasn’t only him who worked on the core part of it, Bobby :p That part was a combination of Chris and Dennis, I believe… Tikitiki has been the one creating all of the separate converters, though!
Hey! I was the one that created it in the first place
Chris basically rewrote it and dennis did a lot of touch up 
Nice! Looking very good, Tiki.
hi,
looks great. hopefully comes out soon.
i will convert directly ipb to mybb
Correction: You wrote the first version, I rewrote most of it to make it work. Chris rewrote it so that it worked the way he wanted. Then you did most of the rest of the work
I distinctly remember the first time you asked me to work on the converter it took me at least an hour to sort out all the problems to at least make it function >.>

Looking very nice, can’t wait to try it out
Ok you guys, quit your arguing
Get cracking and get it all sorted out.
I really like what I have seen with the very descriptive information.
I can hardly wait to be able to merge my phpbb 2, database configuration details over to MyBB so I can dump the phpbb.
