[3.3.x] Convertors • Re: convert ancient IPB to phpBB?

phpbb3.0.x text formatting is different than 3.3.14. I'm assuming that your converter handled changing IPB formatting to phpBB 3.0.x formatting for links, bbcode etc. I don't know which version it changes but when you get to 3.3.14 phpBB's built in cron will convert them in the background to new format. You can do this manually by using command line:

Code:

php /full/path/to/phpbb_root/bin/phpbbcli.php --safe-mode reparser:reparse --ansi

Thanks again for the help, and the update to phpbb 3.3.14 went smoothly for the most part. But one problem is that inline images in posts (that used the "insert image" button, not that were included as attachments) are removed by the reparser.

For example, after updating to phpbb 3.3.14, a post from the old IPB forum has post_text in the phpbb_posts table as follows:This post is displayed correctly in phpbb 3.3.14, with image and link.

But right after running the reparser from the CLI using the command I quoted above, the same field in the table becomes:So when reloading the page after running the reparser, the image and link have disappeared.

It looks like the reparser doesn't like the old IPB BB code. Any ideas why?
