Geeklog Forums

I want to install phpbridge on my site and i want to remove present forum plugin to install phpbridge.

What do i have to do. can i just delete directories of forum and install new forum or do i have to do something else.

link to my site

and how to preserve alll the topic and text inside?

I'm sure the forum's documentation has a section on how to uninstall it ...

But when you do that, you will lose all your forum posts. AFAIK, there's no converter from the forum plugin to phpBB.

No there is no help in install zip file of forum plugin

Hmm, okay. The generic way to uninstall a plugin is this:

• Go to the "Plugins" admin panel, click on the plugin's name, click on "Delete"
  
• only then remove all the plugin's files

bye, Dirk

If i click on the plugin name the hoem page of that plugin opens an di do not see the delete option anywhere

You must be on an older version of Geeklog then, where you had to click on the plugin's number.

bye, Dirk

The phpBBBridge DOES import the Geeklog forum verry well! So please first install the bridge, do the import step and than kill the gl forum.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. Can you tell I've never used it?

bye, Dirk

Geekow and how can i import all the messages from previous forum and how do i know which files in mysql are from previous forum so i can purge them

thx

phpBBbridge does that for you.

Read the phpBBBridge readme!

My site alignment is ruined after i installed new forum, the main site is not full screen in 1024 resolution but even bigger and the listing of topic shrinked to the left.

Why doesnt the forum block shrink itself.

Well, you could remove the left blocks from the plugin's config.php file. Or, you could modify the theme to shrink the width it uses. I'm sure there are some skinny phpBB themes you could download, too, from phpbb.com.
