I am attempting to move a phpBB forum into Drupal. When I get to the category migration it seems to go well.

Forum vid: 1
Found 8 categories: Beginning Import
Found 30 forums: Beginning Import
Successfully Imported 30 forums.

But all the titles for the categories/containers and forums end up blank. This also seems to happen when I try to import the posts themselves.

One note - my phpBB forum is actually from the PostNuke phpbb module. I am copying the required tables from my PN DB to my Drupal DB. As far as I know the tables should be the same as a standard phpBB install. For instance, the nuke_phpbb_categories table has cat_id, cat_title,cat_order, cat_main, and cat_desc in it. Might be useful to use cat_desc, as well.

Any help would be great.

currently, only plain vanilla phpBB is supported.

Please compare the DB structure between your version and a plain phpBB.
If you can confirm it's exactly the same, it should work. If not...

The phpbb_categories table has cat_id, cat_title, and cat_order fields. I don't think the extra fields cat_main and cat_desc in nuke_phpbb_categories should make any difference...

I've done another test with a fresh install of phpBB 2.0.22 and have the same issue.

Ok, I found the problem - its seems that the version of PHP and/or MySQL on that server are farked in some way that messes up the module.

Fortunately I will be moving the site to a different server.
