So I changed the phpbb importer a little bit for phpbb3, but then i realized that phpbb3 stores passwords in a totally different format.
I had to patch the functions_config.inc.php to enable auth against the stored phpbb3-passwords.
the next day (today?) i decided to update to 1.5.1 and again i had to patch the functions_config.inc.php, because serendipity changed the login-procedure from 1.2.1 completely (actually it was much easier with 1.5.1, code had much more structure.)
the importer gave me some headaches, I cant deny that, as result there could be some problems with comments not getting assigned to a user, but most of the things will work. I found a typo after all the work but didnt have the time to check if this solved this problem. I hope to find the time to install another instance this week for deploying a rock solid final
Attached is a zip with
- the importer
- 2 patched functions_config.inc.php for serendipity 1.2.1 and 1.5.1
- Readme and Codesnippets
may god be with you
