Andy,
Do you know of any converters from other forums to yours? I am guessing its not likely, but thought I would ask…
|
|

|

No - afraid not. But mine has only been around for about 2 and a half months! I did most of the original work just before and over Christmas.
Feel free to write one though! The data structure is very simple and straightforward

hey Andy, I got my nukeBB (the phpbb forums that are part of php-nuke) to simple forum converter working. It has a few limitations, but moves what I consider the important data over. I am happy to share it with you if anyone wants it…

Hey - consider me most impressed!
If it's OK with you, I'll put a note up on the plugin page when I re-do it for 1.8 - you never know.
Nice work.
(By the way - you can always go the login and click on lost password. It would be good, actually, to know if it's still working)

hmmm… forgot about the bbcode within all the posts…. that doesnt come over very well… gonna have to think about that one…
|
|

Ah! I'm not actually that familiar with BBCode I'm afraid. I bet there are routines out there though that can be adopted….

I have been scratching out a bbcode to html converter… how much html do you allow in a post?
Thanks…
|

Now that's a good question because I have been trying to work out myself just what TinyMCE does and does not do - plus what it does with what it wont do! And like the version n the WP editor - results are varied and sometimes strange.
Obviously all the formatting tags. 'Span' seems to be allowed but 'Div' gets wiped. 'Img' is allowed as are all the list tags.
Style stuff I am trying to eradicate. Does that more or less cover it? I think all the obvious stiff is the real answer!
And then the results will need filtering and escaping…

LOL… this is a lot harder than its sounds thanks to nukebb manner of handling bbcode… got something half working, but not sure I am going to spend any more time on it… I hate regexp…
If I wanted to match:
[b:6d69b62fc8]some text here[/b:6d69b62fc8]
wouldnt this:
'/(\[b:(.*?)\])(.*?)(\[\/b:(.*?)\])/'
work? LOL, of course not since it doesnt… but strange since
'/(\[img:(.*?)\])(.*?)(\[\/img:(.*?)\])/'
does match
[img:343f8765aa]img url[/img:343f8765aa]
just fine…
maybe I need just write another function sto strip out all that extra crap stuck in there by nukebb and get to raw bbcode tags…

dang, should have done the stripping first… looking much better now… if I could only get the code tags to work… and of course nested bbcodes still looking sad…

Regular Expressions? Yes - I read up on them recently. When I need one I ask my son to construct it!

Hey Mr Papa,
Is there a possibility that i can have that converter? I would like to get rid of Nuke and start all over in WP.
I'm affraid my members won't like it if they have to start all over. Kind regards,
Herman.
