Subject says it all really...

Is it possible to convert phpbbplus back to standard phpbb installation?

Greetings,

Possibly.. although it wouldn't be easy as you'd need a list of the mods installed along with the installation instructions for each mod and then you go through them one at a time removing the added code and SQL alterations.

It would be easier to just use a standard phpBB install the extra fields and tables in the db would then not be used. You could then compare the standard db schema against the one you have now and remove the extra fields/tables.

i thought i saw a mod someplace that'll strip your database down to what should be the original database... i may have been dreaming though. LMAO... i'll see if i can dig it up.

Clean phpBB SQL Tables

This tool allows you to remove any alien SQL tables and fields in your database (Those which do not belong to a "vanilla" phpBB installation). It is particularly useful if you want to remove any tables/fields created by a MOD.

A resource related to this MOD is the "Re-install / Update phpBB" Knowledge Base article, which can be found here: http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article.php?article_id=271

Note that this MOD currently only works in combination with a MySQL database.

should do the trick for ya. It only works with version 2.0.21 so you'll need to update the database to run with 2.0.22.

Thanks for that, will give it a go...
