Hi.

I'm going to import from a vbulletin forum. In the importer configuration I must to filled in "vBulletin Table Prefix:"

It is a required field but my vbulletin do not have any one

// ****** TABLE PREFIX ******
// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
$config['Database']['tableprefix'] = '';

Do you know how to deal with this problem?

I don't think there's a way around it without modifying the importer code.

One thing you can do is to change the vBulletin table names directly in the database to give them a prefix. The when you're done you can change them back. Its risky if you're not used to working directly in the database. Either way if you do that, make sure you have a couple of database backups or do it all first on a copy of your site in a staging location.

Thanks.
