Hello there!

I'm trying to transfer my SMF forum to Drupal. In order to accomplish this I migrated SMF to phpBB3.0.5 first. All things worked ok.

I have installed Drupal and the phpBB2drupal module and try to do the convertion. In the settings it has this entry:
"User to map phpBB admin:"
What should I enter there?

After having done some test migrations I noticed that Drupal-UID-1 gets all the posts from the first phpBB user (phpBB-UID-2)
I would like to avoid that because I want UID-1 in Drupal to be either me or a user with no posts so as to use this account for administration only.

Hope all these makes sense, my english aren't the best around :)
Thank in advance,
Bill

You are looking at the correct option.

What you want to do is:

1. Create a new account for yourself in Drupal.
2. Set the new account username as the user to map the phpbb admin to.
3. import and the phphh uid 2's posts will be imported to that user you mapped the account to.

If this works, please set this issue to fixed or closed. If not, let me know what went wrong.

worked like a charm!

may I suggest that you add the 3 steps you just told me as an explanation text under the text-box for the mapping?

thank you very much :)
