<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm working on my first Drupal project, and don't yet know how create patches :-/</p>
<p>But anyways, i'm currently importing a phpBB3 forum into drupal forum with the phpBB2Drupal module, and i'm doing som bugfixes.</p>
<p>First of i had troubles Signatures for forum module. The initial problem was that the signatures didn't go into the signatures_forum table, so i submittet a fix for that over here #594860</p>
<p>Second, the signatures were cut of, giving me incomplete signatures. Checking for the signatures module fixed that one.</p>
<p>Line 389</p>
<pre>...<br> if ($user->user_type <> 1 && !(isset($user->user_active))) {<br> $user->user_active = 1;<br> }<br><br> // Signatures for Forums module supports longer values than default 255 chars<br> // http://drupal.org/project/signature_forum<br> if(!module_exists('signature_forum')) {<br> $signature = substr($signature, 0, 255);<br> }<br><br> $data = array(<br> 'name' => substr($user->username, 0, 60),<br> 'pass' => $user->user_password,<br> 'mail' => substr($user->user_email, 0, 64),<br> 'signature' => $signature,<br> 'created' => $user_regdate,<br><br>...</pre><p>Also access time was set to import time, this is because the core user module overrides it. Though it is stated in phpBB2Drupal module that the created time is overridden - It's the othe way around. But i didn't remove the created date, just added the access date.</p>
<p>Line 916</p>
<pre> //Drupal overrides the phpBB user registration date when creating a Drupal account.<br> //so we need to update it here.<br> $user = user_save($user, array('created' => $phpbb_user['created'], 'access' => $phpbb_user['access']));</pre><p>And now to the attachements. I had some problems with the attachments, only 'orphan' attachments were imported and all orphans from the phpBB3 db, i my case 15, were added every time a post had an attachment, leaving out the correct attachments. And also after i fixed that one, all attachment added to the conversation ended up in the first post (topic post). So heres the fixes for both problems.</p>
<p>Line 648: Removed a $pre variable (orphans bug), and changed the query using $topic->topic_first_post_id (topic post bug)</p>
<pre> // Handle attachments<br> if ($PHPBB2DRUPAL_IMPORT_ATTACHMENTS) {<br> if ($topic->topic_attachment == 1) {<br><br> db_set_active('default');<br> $file_path = variable_get('file_directory_path', 'files');<br><br> db_set_active('phpbb');<br> $files = db_query('SELECT * FROM %sattachments a WHERE a.post_msg_id = %d', $pre, $topic->topic_first_post_id);</pre><p>Line 806: Removed a $pre variable (orphans bug)</p>
<pre> // Handle attachments<br> if ($PHPBB2DRUPAL_IMPORT_ATTACHMENTS) {<br> if ($post->post_attachment == 1) {<br> db_set_active('default');<br> $file_path = variable_get('file_directory_path', 'files');<br><br> db_set_active('phpbb');<br> $files = db_query('SELECT * FROM %sattachments a WHERE a.post_msg_id = %d',<br> $pre, $post->post_id);</pre><p>Thats all for now, still get that user_stats UID error while importing post though.</p>
