Migrate postings from phpBB to moodle

Hi,

the last days I worked on a migrationtool to migrate the Posts from
an phpBB to an moodle.

How it works:
1.) Get the forum-id of the old phpbb.
http://localhost/lpi/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=4
This forum has id "4".
2.) The cource-id in moodle you will get, when you read the table "mdl_forum".
The field "course" is the cource-id and the field "id" is the internel forum-id in
moodle.

So you can migrate selected forums to moodle. The post will generated with
guestuser, because the admin in my case doesn't want migrate user accounts.

Regards,
Marco

P.S.: When you have questions please sent me an e-mail because I think I'm here
the first and possilby the last time because I normally not work with moodle, but
I want to distribute my tool for the community.

Hi,

war etwas länger weg, also im endeffekt muss die Datei auf z.B.
den Webserver kopiert werde und angepasst werden, dass das teil nen
Datenbankzugriff bekommet.
