<b>phpBB 2.x Import</b>
<p>This import tool is designed to copy the data from your existing phpBB 2.x installation into In-portal Platform and In-bulletin. It will not work without In-bulletin module installed. </p>
The current version transfers the users, forums, topics and posts. It also copies the basic permission structure for the forums and creates user custom fields to hold the additional information available in phpBB. The import will only copy phpBB information that is compatible with the current version of In-bulletin. For this reason, for example, the private messages are not copied over.

<b>Step 4 </b>
<p>In this step, the administrator will need to designate the options of the import  how the phpBB data is supposed to be integrated into In-portal and In-bulletin. </p>
<ul>
<li> Regular User Group - this field designates the In-portal group (by default, Members'), into which the all phpBB users should be imported. It is recommended to import then into a group that will give them access to the front-end, and to own their topics. However, you can choose a different group for the import, and then manage the users later. Clicking on the group button will pop up a list of In-portal groups. All other security groups that exist in phpBB installation will be automatically created during the import. 
<li> Initial Import Category  this field designates the In-portal category, which will serve as a root for the phpBB import. This category will be the equivalent of the index page in phpBB, and all of the categories and forums will be created underneath. Clicking on the category button (folder icon) will pop up a catalog navigator, where you can select the category. 
<li>Table Name Prefix  this field designates the table prefix for the phpBB tables.
</ul>
