I am about to do the phpBB to vBulletin switch, and have some questions on the instruction Chuck kindly provided us here.
Question 1:
On Step 5, you said "rerun photopost install using same prefix and database to integrate with
vb. this will not delete data".
When you say "this will not delete data", what types of data are you referring to? If our forum has over 10,000 users and many users have photopost gallery established, will these photos and their galleries be preserved and re-linked to their profile after switched from phpBB to vBulletin?
Question 2:
I remember when you first install photopost, you will be given a choice of install the photopost database standalone or within the forum database.
(a) When we installed photopost with phpBB, we set up the database within the phpBB forum - will this be a problem with the switch?
(b) Do we backup only those photopost tables?
(c) When we switch to vBulletin, are we better off or can we make the photopost database separate from vBulletin given our old set up?
The last question is, will you be available for hire to help us complete this switch?
Thanks so much for your help.
