Hi every one,
Is there any body that knows, how I can import my existing Drupal users into PHPBB3?!
My Drupal site have over 800 users, and I install the PHPBB3 by arkepp guide.
Every thing is OK, it means that new user can register and PHPBB3 is recognising them! But my existing user can not login to PHPBB3!
How i can fix this problem!? Please help me!

Hi,

I have similar question as Hosiya, only the other way around. How can I import my PHPbb users (~1000) to my Drupal database (empty)?
Everything else works as intented, newly registered users appear in both databases, etc...

Thanks,

Jiri

Markus, I've made a patch (_ttp://groups.drupal.org/node/11683), which imports users to Drupal when they try to log in.

In this newest version for drupal 6 - http://groups.drupal.org/node/12949#comment-85037

User profiles are fully created in drupal as an existing phpbb user logs in for the first time.
There is an option in the phpbb settings page to turn this feature on or off. The INSTALL.txt file has details.
