In this zip-file you find a serendipity 1.2.1 - 1.5.1 import module for a phpbb3 forum.
Should work for Ubuntu 8.04 or any other serendipity installation.
The Problem is that phpbb3 stores passwords not in MD5 format like serendepity.
So I had to apply the phpbb3 password checking routine to functions_config.php.inc
of serendipity.
For newer (or older) versions a Readme is included where I point out the changes
in the functions_config.inc.php. It should be not too much work to apply this to
newer versions of serendipity, too.
I applied the changes for serendipity v1.5.1 and included the
functions_config.php.inc for this, too.

What is working:
- Import of Users, Categories, Topics and Comments into the blog.
- Topics have the right Category and the Comments are at the right place.
- Log in for phpbb3-Users to the blog without changing their old password

What is not working:
- Users have no s9y_authorgroups (is this bad? Dont know. i recreated them with SQL)
- Entrys and Comments had no author (At least before i fixed a typo in the importer,
but i didnt check this last version, maybe its fixed.)

Installation for serendipity 1.2.1 and 1.5.1:
Copy phpbb3.inc.php to serendipity/www/include/admin/importers/
Back up your serendipity/www/include/functions_config.inc.php
Go to your admin Panel and use the importer, the phpbb3 template should appear.
To enable logins copy the right functions_config_vX.X.X.inc.php over your
serendipity/www/include/functions_config.inc.php.
when this isnt working, just copy your old functions_config.inc.php over again.

Installation for serendipity other than 1.2.1 or 1.5.1:
Check the file
 - Readme function serendipity_authenticate_author.php

Have fun and may god be with you;-)
