I'm working on converting my forum today from UBB 7.6.5 and I keep running into an error at the Members import step.  It will import 1 row and then throw this error

 

ipb2.local Driver Error
There appears to be an error with the database.
If you are seeing this page, it means there was a problem communicating with our database. Sometimes this error is temporary and will go away when you refresh the page. Sometimes the error will need to be fixed by an administrator before the site will become accessible again. 

 

There is nothing in the php error log indicating what the error might be.  I'm logging my mysql queries and this is the last query that runs when before error 

 

732 Query       INSERT INTO pfields_content () VALUES()

 

 

Do PostID and ThreadID change during the conversion process?

I've posted this in another forum and talked to support; they suggested posting this here.

I am converting from UBB to IPB and PhotoPost to IP Gallery.  In our posts we have about 15k image tags (not to be confused with links) that imbed photos from PhotoPost.  What I'm hoping to do is convert those image tags to the appropriate image paths for the IP Gallery conversion as well as include the correct tags for the lightbox feature to work.

Has anyone attempted to do this?

I know this can be done, it will require a script, it's just a matter of whether I have to write it or has someone already done something similar.

Thanks!

We are migrating our forum (UBB) and gallery (PhotoPost) software to IPB.  We have been on this platform for almost 12 years and have a board with over 23k registered users and 1 million posts.  Of the many issues that we face in this migration, images from PhotoPost that are embedded in posts is one of the largest.  The simplest solution to this is leaving the old photopost data folder in it current location to maintain the image paths.  Ideally, I'd like to take advantage of the all the Gallery functionality including the new lightbox functionality.  

So my question is are there any solutions out there that will scan the database and correct the src paths and add the correct tags to convert inline PhotoPost images to Gallery 5?

Thanks!

This might be more appropriate in the Board forum, so feel free to move it.

I haven't seen many comments about this but the way photos are embedded in a post absolutely drives me bananas. I think the large div housing a small thumbnail is kind of tacky for a lack of a better term, but more importantly the images when clicked should come up in a lightbox versus going to the gallery page. Our forum is very very photo intensive and a user having to click through to a page to view every photo would drive them mad. This is probably one of the biggest things holding me back from migrating our board from another forum product, and yes I already hold an IPB license
