I needed to do this so I'll share my code in case anyone else wants to try.

A few notes:
  • I'm using mdb2 instead of the phpbb3 database functions.
  • I hard coded "phpbb3" as the database name for my phpbb3 installation, you should only have to change it in four places. Sorry Big Grin.
  • I also hard coded gl_ and phpbb_ as the table prefixes. Sorry.
  • I manually made the same forums with the ACP in phpbb3 so I made a function to convert the geeklog forum ids to the new forum ids in phpbb3 in case they aren't the same.
    • This is on line 204:
    • Text Formatted Code
      function forum_conversion( $forum_id ){
          $ids = array(
              1 => 4,
              2 => 5,
              4 => 6,
              5 => 11,
              3 => 8,
              7 => 10, );
          return $ids[ $forum_id ];
      }

    • The key is the Geeklog forum id the value is the phpbb3 forum id.

Thanks,

I gust commented: 'user_id' => $result[$i][0] + 100, because of mysql error with duplicate keys.

Yeah that just adds 100 to the userid stored in the geeklog database because phpbb ships with bots using all the low numbers. You could use any number you want but unfortunately you'd have to change it in several places. Glad it helped somebody.
