Hi

First of all, I'd like to say that Geeklog is by far the BEST CMS out there. Previously I had used postnuke, but it got broken on daily basis. With geeklog, I'v had ZERO downtimes for several months. Geeklog is fast, secure, easy and powerful - everything one would expect from a CMS. But I guess you hear this all the time, so I'll get right to the point.

I'm trying to figure out how to import my Invision Power Board forum content (including users/passwords) into Geeklog/Forum plugin. I'm not much of a SQL expert, so I'm kinda stuck. I searched around Google and this site, but came up empty - perhaps I was asking the wrong question?

Is there any automated way to do it, or some known tutorials/workarounds for it? Any hints are greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Madcat.

Well, little update. I finally managed to select the needed fields from IPB users table and insert them into Geeklog users table, but none of the users can log in. Getting SQL error:
Text Formatted Code

syntax.  Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version
for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1. SQL in question: DELETE FROM
gl2_sessions WHERE uid =
 

What does deleting entry from gl2_sessions have to do with logging in? Shouldn't that be done when logging out? Any ideas?
