Hi!

As a noob, my question maybe appears stupid to some experts here but it's absolutely critical for my project and schedule.

I used this module to import a phpBB2 (2.0.20) forum into my new drupal project. It worked perfectly. Now, I need to import a second _different_ phpBB2 also into the _same_ drupal site. I killed the first phpBB-tables from DB and insert the ones of the second forum. Once done, I went the same way as the first time. But the migration only gives the message "users already imported successfuly", etc... but there's nothing imported from this second set of phpBB tables.

I uninstalled the module, as well as the forum (just for a test) and reinstalled them, but always the same.

Is there a flag somewhere in DB saying that the module ran one time successfuly? How can it remember (even after reinstallation) that it worked before?

Thank you in advance for your help!

similar problem here... i imported my old data for testing proposes a while ago... then i went on building my site with drupal, while the old one was still active... now i want to migrate the current data and got the "...already imported". i already cleared my users-table, the drupal-cache, deleted my forums, truncated the phpbb2drupal-temp tables... so i got a pretty empty page now ;)

i found the flags... in the table "variables" in your db you can find some fields starting with "phpbb2drupal_import". you can set the flags from 1 to 0 there... the names of the fields are self-explaing. BUT(!!!) be very careful and backup your entire database before fiddling around with this, otherwise you can easily kill your complete installation.

thanks for this great module!
