Azol's sandbox: YaBB Migrate

This module performs a one-way migration of YaBB 2.5 boards, users, topics,
polls and PMs into Drupal 7 Forum/Poll/Private Messages.

At the moment only users and boards data migration is partially working.
Do NOT use this module on production site!

REQUIREMENTS

Drupal core: 7.x
YaBB version: 2.5

Module dependency:
- (core) Forum - optional, required only if you migrate boards, topics and polls;
- (core) Poll - optional, required only if you migrate polls;
- (contrib) Private Messages - optional, required only if you migrate PMs.

INSTALL

Install as you would do normally with contrib module

USE

After enabling the module, go to admin/structure/yabb

NOTES

Additional notes on the migration process and data transfer:

USERS:
- only new users are being created in Drupal.
It does not update existing users in any way,
so better use a clean Drupal install to minimize possible naming conflicts;
- at the moment, only user name (login), email
and registration date are preserved;
- all users will have to reset their passwords
before they will be able to log in to new forum.

BOARDS:
- it creates the boards using machine names from YaBB;
- no categories/hierarchies are preserved
(which is simple to manually edit afterwards).

TOPICS (not implemented yet):
- during the migration, BBcode will be converted into HTML most likely,
as I cannot find any decent BBcode WYSIWYG-compatible editor for Drupal 7.
