Description
This plugin imports boards and users from SMF 1.1x forums to BuddyPress (forums) / WordPress (users)
Features:
- Preserves current WordPress users if name exists
- Create groups for forums after import (optional)
- Main plugin adds admin panel for all functions
- Separate plugin successively converts the sha-1 encoded passwords from SMF on user login
- Includes php script that can be put into old forum directory for redirection to new topic locations
Known issues:
- Only intended for initial forum imports, it clears all current forums before importing due to the initial 0.7.3 db format requirement (users/groups etc. are kept intact)
- Depending on forum size, the PHP memory and exec time requirements can be a bit high
The plugin is based on a modified phpbb import PHP script for bbpress 0.7.3. It uses its own version of bbpress to convert from the initial 0.7.3 bbpress db format to a buddypress compatible one.
