hi,

i would like to import my phpbb2. So i was gone into "phpBB2Drupal Settings".

My phpbb2 is in another database so i uncheck the case and save my setting, time to find where i must set database name and connection... I don't find this (may be in setting.php with $db_url['phpbb'] but it's dont work). Now i've "Unsupported database type" message when i try to return on "phpBB2Drupal Settings".

What i must to do ???

Thanks in advance.

I unactive the module, delete database, delete module delete table entry in system table.

Re-install this module, and i've still this message about database, only when i try to go in "phpBB2Drupal Settings".

There is some messages without response about it and nothing about the other phpbb database in documentation.

when you uncheck the box and then save the page, in the database connection section, there shouild be a trestfield containing the details of the existing database. Do you see that? have youm tried modifying that etxtfield to point at the new database?

I didn't view this trestfield when i uncheking the case (i lockeed for), and the problem is that now, and after save with unchecked case, i've still this message "Unsupported database type" when i try to go on "phpBB2Drupal Settings" even after hard unistall and re-install

A reset by /admin/php.../reset don't work.

Ok cleanup is good i can return on setting.

I try to just uncheck and save, and still have same message "Unsupported database type"...

Ok it's done now... we must put the connection ( $db_url ['phpbb'] = '...'; ) for the other database first. It's write somewhere in the doc ?

no, on the settings page. there should be a textfield to input the database parameters. This only comes up after unticking the current database, saving the page and going back to the same block.

It does not need you to do anything in the settings.php

as a shortcut/workaround, you can also just copy the required tables to the drupal database, do the import and then delete them (leaving the phpbb2drupal tables there.)
