Migrate a phpBB3 forum to Discourse

Yes, it’s available. You can follow my work at https://github.com/gschlager/discourse/tree/phpbb3.

I assume you will be able to figure this out on your own, since you want to add support for custom BBCodes. I won’t give any support until my work is finished and merged. Expect some heavy refactoring on my part which might break things for you. :wink:

Two hints to get you started:

The import from phpBB 3.2 works with a few caveats right now:

  • Poll votes aren’t imported.
  • Internal links aren’t rewritten to Discourse URLs.
  • The [attachment] BBCode doesn’t work.
