hi,

been playing around with various phpbb -> Drupal soultions and decided to give this module a try. However, I only have a phpbb3 forum, and I cant seem to get the module to accept that fact; I get "table forum_categories does not exist" and "table_forum_posts_text does not exist". If I'm not mistaken, these tables have been replaced between phpbb2 and phpbb3. According to the info about the module "there is experimental support for imports from phpbb3 into Drupal 6."

how do I go about to get the module to "understand" that I have a phpbb3 DB, and not a phpbb2? I've tried to find where in the source code this is decided, but I am way to unexperienced in php to locate and "mod" the code.

I'm currently working on porting our current webpage to drupal, but the main problem is to get a working solution with the forum as that stands for 95% of the activity on the site. This far I've only set up a testsite, so I'm all for trying out the latest releases, so hit me! :)

me again - forgot to ask: is there anything else but the main module pack I need? (http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/phpbb2drupal-6.x-1.1.tar.gz)

phpbb3 support is in HEAD only - a snapshot is available from here: http://drupal.org/node/96005

Currently importing topics and polls as topics, and other posts as comments works. (polls are no longer imported as polls because they act too differently between the softwares - phpbb3 poll is more like the contrib advanced poll module.)

User import works, but password import still needs work - currently the users will lose their passwords and need to request new ones.

Private message import does not work - there is something wrong in the code, and I have not put too much effort in fixing it as the privatemsg module is not ready for mass consumption either.

Any testing/help would be most welcome.

Head should now fully support phpbb3 imports - including keeping passwords.

I am not planning a stable release until a bug in the phpass module is fixed.
