PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - Need script that imports pp users to phpbb3

fuzzywaffle · May 8th, 2008, 01:07 PM

so far i have existing photopost installed to root folder (example.com/)
my forums are installed to (example.com/forum/)

tables are all in same database with different prefixs pp_ and phpbb_

manually added each existing user to new phpbb install.
went into phpmyadmin and changed all user ids to match existing user ids in photopost user tables.

went into photopost settings table changed registration system to phpbb3
updated cookie prefix and cookie name

updated prefix for forums to phpbb_

then i uploaded install.php and droped the usergroup table.
reran install.

i can login to forum and photopost fine problem is when i login as admin i am able to access admin features for phpbb but photopost seems to recognise me as a registered user not an admin. i can edit profile, favorites, comments, ect.. but admin link doesnt show up on top menu and when i view online users on bottom of index it doesnt show me theyre ip like you would see if logged in as admin just which picture theyre viewing.

i reverted back to using photopost user tables until i can figure out a solution to this problem. if you have any suggestions please let me know. thx for the help.
