Transformer is a script to convert/merge another forum's database to/with ForkBB.

Supports (convert/merge):

1. ForkBB rev.42 - rev.48
2. FluxBB_by_Visman rev.51 - rev.83
3. FluxBB 1.5.0 - 1.5.11

• PHP 7.3+
• PHP extensions: pdo, intl, json, mbstring, fileinfo
• PHP extensions (suggests): imagick or gd (for upload avatars and other images), openssl (for send email via smtp server using SSL/TLS)
• A database such as MySQL 5.5.3+, SQLite 3.25+, PostgreSQL 10+

Two options

1. Document Root != public folder:
   • Rename .dist.htaccess to .htaccess,
   • Rename index.dist.php to index.php.
2. Document Root == public folder (recommended):
   • Rename public/.dist.htaccess to public/.htaccess,
   • Rename public/index.dist.php to public/index.php;

Note

To determine which of these two options is yours, then immediately after uploading the engine to your site (before these changes), make two requests:

1. your.site/public/robots.txt
2. your.site/robots.txt

On one of the requests, you should see the content of the robots.txt file. Similar to:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /adm
Disallow: /log
Disallow: /mod
Disallow: /reg
Disallow: /search
Disallow: /userlist
Disallow: /post

On which option you see the contents of the file, choose the option for changing the file names above. P.S. If you see the contents of the file in both cases, then something went wrong or you have already changed the names of the files .dist.htaccess and index.dist.php.

• Example nginx configuration.
• Note: Root must point to the public/ directory.
• Note: The index.dist.php file does not need to be renamed.
