Does nodebb-plugin-import-phpbb work with 3.1.x phpbb

[psychobunny]

Hey @belstgut, this might help you out:

I ran into this problem as well on another relatively obscure forum software import. It wasn't worth the effort trying to figure it out, so I just wrote this.

I'm also trying to migrate from an existing phpbb 3.x installation to nodebb. The things preventing me to switch are the private messages, attachments and custom smilies.

The messages seem quite managable to me, but attachments and smilies are more like a big deal I think.

Could you please share your custom code on GitHub so others can benefit from? .

I tried the modified phpbb importer from @belstgut but it didn't work for me. Neither the extended user information like location and so on nor the messages get imported although the queries seem correct to me. The generated SQL Queries also deliver the correct data if I try them manually. Any idea?

I also edited the default plugin to only get the extended user information imported. But this also didn't work. The plugin download was disabled so the changes haven't been overwritten.
I also increased the version and restarted nodebb to ensure the plugin gets loaded in the modified version.

PS: Sorry for the duplicate post. Editing didn't work as I always get an error that the title is to short and needs at leat 3 characters.

I think this problem is not with the exporter, but with the importer.

for profile fields it only supports the one shown here: https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import/blob/master/write-my-own-exporter.md#yourmodulegetpaginatedusersstart-limit-callback

Sorry. it was my fault. I modified the phpbb importer plugin in the main node_modules directory and not in the node_modules within the main importer plugin.

Ok user's birthday, website, location and signature now works.

I also got messages to work, but there is a large amount of 15% which hasn't been imported. I'll see if I can find the reason.

As soon as I have a stable solution I'll upload it to GitHub and launch a pull request.

Again. You can send your mysqldump (send an email to plugin author) and your issue may be resolved.

I already fixed it myself.
