Hi all!

Can anyone please tell me wich tables the forum module in drupal uses.

To my knowledge they are:
-term_data
-term_hierarchy
-comments
-forum ??

I'm converting from webwiz, so I need to know how are forums created. I have preprared a sql script wich imports the (phpbb-like) subforums, but i cant import the forums.
The script drops term_data and term_hierarchy and recreates them, but auto index is still there and not reset, so i think that there is a third or n-th table that holds some info for the forum indexes.

tia, sam

thank you for your superb answer :grin:

Ok to succesfuly convert webwiz forum to drupal you need to insert data in (alphabetically):
- comments (quite obvious the content is :))
- forum
- history
- node
- node_comment_statistics
- node_revisions
- sequences (update/insert fields)
- term_data
- term_hierarchy
- term_node

If your drupal site has some content already you have to reenumerate some things.

More detailed info on values to insert, reenumerating and a simple application for migrating web wiz forum can be expected in a few days, when i'm finished with conversion, tesing, and application.

Here click is the converted forum and here click is the original forum if anyone is interested in comparing the two. Unfortunately they are in Slovenian language...

Just out of curisity Has anyone ever done this before? I know that conversion can be done like webwiz -> phpbb -> drupal. But directly?
