Thanks alot for this! Ill give it a try, and give feedback. Ive one question:
Ive a clean phpBB3 forum, and want to use your complete portal. I see you make a note that this conversion is only for the forum version.
I must admit that I dont understand how to do this.
Should I convert from phpBB3 to ModphpBB as you describe here (looks straightforward and simple), and then what? Can I just overwrite the now converted forum with the files for the portal, and thats it? No touch of database?
I have tried STF, but didnt succeed.

Thanks alot for your excellent work. Much appreciated!

I will update the first post now with converting to Board3Portal version.

Well I gave it a go. Ran into some problems though with this:

Open these files:

http://www.Yourforumdomain/(a subdirectory if you have one)/install_arcade/install.php
Then install that as a fresh install
http://www.Yourforumdomain/(a subdirectory if you have one)/install_gallery/install.php
Then install that as a fresh install
http://www.Yourforumdomain/(a subdirectory if you have one)/install_wwh/install.php
Then install that as a fresh install
http://www.Yourforumdomain/(a subdirectory if you have one)/install/cf_install.php
Then install that as a fresh install

For the arcade one There is noe install.php. There is a install_install.php in there and that is the one I tried and I just get a blank page.

For the gallery I get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare split_sql_file() (previously declared in /home7/theoutdo/public_html/forum/install_gallery/install_functions.php:97) in /home7/theoutdo/public_html/forum/includes/functions_install.php on line 519

For the wwh I get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare split_sql_file() (previously declared in /home7/theoutdo/public_html/forum/install_wwh/install.php:28) in /home7/theoutdo/public_html/forum/includes/functions_install.php on line 519

And for the install it worked

Thanks mate I will have another look at the download.

So what have you installed and what is left?

After those errors I went ahead and did the add_bot and that didn't give me any errors and then I thought I better stop and see what you thought about the errors

Strange, I used those files to convert before adding the zip. If you set us up an ftp account and a root account for the forum, I can have a look.

I have set up an ftp but it is telling me login failed. Maybe I have to wait a bit for it to get updated

I just had another look at the folders, the arcade one is actually /index.php (have also changed first topic to reflect now)

Well I set idle long enough that my acp logged me out. Now what can I do. It won't let me log back in as admin now

Delete your browser cookies and the link at the footer of your forum.

I deleted my cookies through my browser. Not sure what you mean by the link at the footer

Delete your browser cookies and the link at the footer of your forum.

At the bottom of prosilver there is a link to delete board cookies.

I don't think I had the prosilver theme on and the one I do have on doesn't have that link. I am reupping my old forum back and I will import my database back in and start over and see what happens

yep good idea

Well I have it back up and running now. Is it alright to have prosilver2 for my style when I try this again. I am going to have to do it tomorrow though. My wife needs on here now.
