MyBB Community Forums

Hello everybody

we need to move manually a lot of old postings to our new MyBB. These postings were originally written in the past years. There is no way to get a db dump so we have to do it manually. My question: is there a possibility to backdate these posts to their original date which lays long before the time I installed the new forum? I am sorry, but I am not able to program new tools.

Using PHP's mktime function, you can convert a date to a unix timestamp, which is what MyBB uses to display time.

For example, you can turn 01-02-2009, 13:56 into the number of seconds since the unix epoch, and then take that number and put it in the dateline field in the database.

There's a free converter online for this: http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm

Thanks a lot.Tom. But where do I find the dateline field in the database ?

The dateline column in the posts table...??
