MyBB Community Forums

Hi all, i'm trying to merge my ipb 2 forum into mybb.
The conversion was successfully complete by MyBB merge system but...the topic ids and message ids were completely changed, so I can't link a previous IPB 2 Discussion with myBB because the id doesn't match.

Any ideas about that?

Thank you,
Stefano

Yeah, you're out of luck, unless you want to re-do the merge with the posts, threads, users, categories, and forums dumped (ie. with nothing). Someone more familiar with me will know what I'm talking about.

So i can't merge the id in any way?
So...I think I will study the php source code

Edit: It seems to work with this little trick:
open "ipb2/threads.php"
@line 76
replace 'order_by' => 'topic_firstpost'
with
'order_by' => 'tid'

seems to work right now

This does not work because the merge system is exactly that, a merge system; not a convert system. This means that two boards with the same Post & Thread IDs can be merged together, since the ID's get changed. In other words, it isn't meant to be kept the same.
