FluxBB converter Build status

This is the FluxBB converter tool. Please note that this is currently a pre-beta.

Supported forums

  • IP.Board 3.2
  • miniBB 3.0
  • MyBB 1
  • PHP Fusion 7
  • phpBB 3.0
  • SMF 1.1
  • SMF 2
  • vBulletin 4.1
  • Merge FluxBB - merge two fluxbb installations into one database. Categories, forums, topics and posts are added to the current database and the users are merged from the both installations.

Note: Because FluxBB is a fork of PunBB you are able to convert from PunBB 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 by following the upgrading process.

Notes

  • All FluxBB tables are dumped (not applicable to Merge FluxBB converter)
  • MAKE BACKUP BEFORE USING THIS CONVERTER!

  • Choose which forum software you want to convert from.
  • Enter database connection information
