Hi,

This may be a dumb question but here goes…

Currently I am using the phpBB-Drupal bridge module. At some point I am planning on migrating the phpBB post to the Drupal Forum. But it looks like the UIDs for the phpBB users are no longer the same as their UIDs on the Drupal side. Will this be a problem when I do the migration of the posts???

Thanks in advance,

Eric

Yes it will be a problem.

Something you can try is that if the drupal users already exist, prepopulate the phpbb2drupal_temp_user table with the mapping data (which phpbb user_id corresponds to which drupal uid) and skip that part of the import - move onto the next step.

Theoretically the users will exist in both tables - other that the phpBB3 bot accounts…

I may be able to fix things by hand though…

This situation should be covered in the 7.x branch. You have an option to track existing users so content gets assigned to them but no user details are copied over.
