MyBB Community Forums

Hi.

I imported my phpbb3 to mybb1212. The phpbb3 is completely unmodded.

After the import, some posts didn´t took the urls correctly.

My phpbb3 posts used this syntax:

[url=http://www.chip.de]clickme for chip.de[/url]

And after the import, they look like this:

<!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\" href=\"http://www.chip.de\">clickme for chip.de</a><!-- m -->

Sorry, it´s an phpbb3 issue. It was in the phpbb3 database, i don´t know why phpbb3 does it.

Okay.

I figured it out. Phpbb3 uses "magicurl". It adds <!-- --> tags into the posts/database.

The tag could be
<!-- m -->
<!-- l -->
<!-- e -->
<!-- w -->
<!-- s:smiliecode: -->

The problem is, it adds it to the database. Therefore, if I/you convert a phpbb3 forum into an other, it´s not converted correctly. What i did is, backup the forum, open the sql files into a text editor, and replace that orange manually.

I had to replace every created tag from above into it´s correct bbcode pendant. The baddest work was to modify the smilietag, which hasn´t been done by now.

Would there be a way to add this phpbb3 fault into the mybb importer? So it automatically corrects it on the run?
