Anyone got ideas on this?

we have an active phpbb forum with a number of modules / hacks installed.

we have a drupal site but without a forum yet. we are going to create a drupal forum in the future.

want to import the phpbb users / posts into drupal.

however, many of the same users have 2 accounts, with identical usernames in both phpbb and drupal.

we want to merge the data for people with 2 accounts, so that the end result is that members with an account in drupal and an account in phpbb will have one drupal account, with all their posts/data migrated to new drupal forums.

Example:

KingGeorge is a registered phpbb username with 120 posts, attachments, private messages, etc.

KingGeorge is also a registered drupal username with multiple comments, a blog, etc.

We install a new forum on our drupal site with identical features as the phpbb forum.

We import all the data from the phpbb forum.

KingGeorge now logs in to drupal, goes to the drupal forums, and sees that all their 120 posts, attachments, private messages, etc, from phpbb PLUS all their multiple comments, a blog, etc from Drupal are merged into the same KingGeorge account.

Could someone write a script? shouldent be too hard! (btw, probably better to merge by email...)

You might wanna check out this script I helped write that converts PHPNuke to Drupal. Part of that conversion involved moving the phpBB forum that came with PHPNuke to Drupal...

The best of ways is probably to use the phpbb2drupal module, but modify the import users function to check for name clashes before import.
