Long road to integration...
Hello,
I currently run an IPB (ver. 2.3.4) site with some 700 members.
I am developing a new site using phpFoX (latest version) and I would like to migrate my IPB members there once I am finished.
There is no way at the moment to make phpFoX compatible with IPB, and so I am thinking of taking a sort of detour and would like to know if it is possible and if someone here may be able to help (and for how much):
1. Install vBulletin and integrate it with my phpFoX site;
2. Migrate my current IPB database to vBulletin.
Notes: My IPB is modded and features Invision's Blog and Gallery components, so the database would need to be stripped for migration (I only need the forum stuff...users, topics, posts, post attachments)
I have not problem with my members losing their passwords as I actually want to validate them on the new site via email, allowing them to setup a new password.
Lastly, what should come in first, custom template and theme installation, or vBulletin integration mod?
Doable? Suggestions? I really need to get those members and their forum content to my new site...
Thanks!
