Concretely this script converted:

• Groups of members: The permissions will be the same for all groups. They will therefore be to change thereafter.
• Members:
  • Xoops allowing multiple groups to one member, that punBB do not, the members are all tarred with the same group members (id = 4).
  • Avatars must all put in the correct folders (img / avatars).
  • Populate the fluxbb ban users from xoops banned users group
• The categories.
• Forums.
• The topics
• Positions: It is the big piece, there is a batch processing for large databases.

Usage:

It is simple. Edit xoops2fluxBB.php, inside this file there is the class Xoops2fluxBB, edit the config variable. Go to the end of file. Here you find the conversion methods called. Comment the methods you don't want to execute.

It is better to don't call method in other order than the order presented in this file.

The code is well documented, so please read the code to undestand the methods workflow.

Run the script using Php CLI. You can run it using webserver and a browser request, but the output is not good...
