Title: Unbridging phpbb and Coppermine
Post by: zebraplayer on May 17, 2006, 06:48:27 pm

Okay,

I'm sure everyone will tell me this is next to impossible to do, but I just had to ask.

I have a phpbb 2.0.20 board on my site which was bridged with Coppermine 1.3.2 and working fine. Now, I no longer need the board and would like to get rid of it. However, there are a lot of members and I don't want to lose that part of the db, specially since I want to keep Coppermine.

Here's the million dollar question: Is there a way to convert/pull the relevant parts of the phpbb database and bring them into a new installation of Coppermine 1.4.2?

If there is a recipe for this, I sure would like to know it, and I'm probably not alone.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

It's possible, just requires you to move the users from one table to the other with a table dump from phpmyadmin, keeping the user_id numbers the same.

Got 'er done. Thank you. It was a little time consuming but I've managed to transfer everything.
