[3.3.x] Convertors • Re: Importing a CSV file of Topics and Replies to a PHPBB 3.3.12 Board | Chat GPT PHP Script

Thank you so much for the great code!!

Its not working on 3315, but the main idea is awesome, i bit modified it and added new functions,

Accepts forum name and auto-creates it if missing
Automatically inserts missing forum into phpbb_forums
Includes all required fields like forum_rules, forum_parents, etc.
Adds correct left_id and right_id for forum nesting
Automatically clones permissions from working forum ID "7"
Copies both phpbb_acl_groups and phpbb_acl_users
Calls $auth->acl_clear_prefetch() to ensure frontend visibility
Replaced with raw SQL for full compatibility with phpBB 3.3+
Fully functional and visible immediately after script runs
Helpful echo outputs confirming every step

now working as charm i was able to generate hundreds of topics posts replies and so on, pure gold!
