I have a createmybb forum thats not hosted on my site, and I wanted to convert it/transfer all of the users, forums, and posts to my new mybb forum. Is there a way to do this? I tried the Merge System, but that seemed to not have this choice, and requires a forum to be hosted on your site.
This is my current createmybb forum:
http://freshprincecreations.createmybb2.com/
And this is the new one I just created:
http://www.freshprincecreations.com/forum/index.php
Any assistance would be much appreciated! Thank you!
You'll need to ask Create MyBB if you can get a database backup. If you can't, you're stuck. You don't need the merge system as it's still a MyBB database, you'd just need to upgrade it, you're still being made to run 1.2. This is why I really don't like Create MyBB, they still make people run a version over a year and a half old.
Request the
PHPADMIN Info LINK, USER, PASSWORD of Your DATABASE and it is so easy to get BACKUP or when you have it you just need to follow this steps
1. Login at PHPMYADMIN.
2. Select the Database.
3. Click at
Export Select all tables Download it.
4. Open the File.sql you had downloade and Remove some text like this:
-- phpMyAdmin SQL Dump
-- version 3.2.4
-- http://www.phpmyadmin.net
--
-- Host: localhost
-- Generation Time: Apr 30, 2010 at 07:08 AM
-- Server version: 5.0.90
-- PHP Version: 5.2.6
SET SQL_MODE="NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO";
/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=@@CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */;
/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@@CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;
/*!40101 SET @OLD_COLLATION_CONNECTION=@@COLLATION_CONNECTION */;
/*!40101 SET NAMES utf8 */;
--
-- Database: `mybb_king`
--
-- --------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Table structure for table `mybb_users`
--
After that Open again ad type
CTRL+H and rename site to: example your sitename is:
example.com/rootmybb
rename at
exaple.net/rootmybb
5. Go at your new site open PHPMYADMIN.
6. Click
Import
7. And open FTP go at Froum dir
./rootmybb/inc/ find the file called
config.php Edit this:
$config['database']['type'] = 'mysql';
$config['database']['database'] = 'mybb_king';
$config['database']['table_prefix'] = 'yourprefix_';
$config['database']['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['database']['username'] = 'mybb_king';
$config['database']['password'] = 'test123';
Set your exacly DB name and Prefix and DBuser same as Old has been.
And finish your forum will work fine
