Hello,

Is it possible to import attachments from an old phpbb forum?
I have successfully imported the posts and categories but how should I replace the content? Remove html tags and get bbcode working?

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your help.
I finally managed to get it working (mostly).

Users, categories and post have been imported.
I still have some bbcodes and html tags in the content.
Any ideas on how to keep the attached files?

Thanks!

Seems to hang here...

Just tried ome more time...
It seems to read the phpbb database (import process) but the post import processing does not work.

I will try once again but I am pretty sure I was using the correct version (did checkout v1.7.5) and that I reloaded the forum.

Thanks for your help.
Sadly, I already tried to install nodebb-plugin-import.
And, when I configure it with the web interface I cannot click on any buttons.

Hello,

I am currently moving a phpbb forum to nodebb. Sadly the import plugin does not work.
So I thinking about only moving the users without the content. I thought doing that with the write api but it fails to load.

When I want to access the plugin settings the page does not appear. Ot keeps loading without any sign of life.

Any ideas of what is wrong?

Thanks.
