This seems to have worked perfectly, but upon trying to log in with an existing account I get an error:
Do I need to do something with the custom authentication class mentioned?
Thanks.
Edit: Here's an example of an entry in the server error log in the admin cp, generated by a log in attempt:

Mmm, it seems strange. Is all your content here? One important thing is that I don't import the search tables; you must rebuild the search in XF after the import.It works now, thank you Benjy!
One strange thing I noticed; after the import the xF database is only 102MB, where the original FluxBB database is 330MB. I also had tested an import into MyBB and that's 734MB! Is xenForo really that efficient?

ThxEverything is there as far as I can tell. I did rebuild the search cache after the import and search is working great! Thanks so much for the the fix. Very nice site and domain you have btw.

I noticed that if the Importer files are removed after the import I can't log in, which makes sense considering the above bug, but would this also be the case if that bug wasn't there during the import?
Ideally I'd rather not be permanently tied to unofficial/unsupported components for basic functionality like logging in. This is not to say you, Benjy, haven't been extremely help because you have, but you know what I mean.

The only file you can't remove after import is library/CodeInMotion/Authentication/FluxBB.php because it manages the FluxBB login (passwords can't be converted to the XF scheme because we don't have the unencrypted onesI noticed that if the Importer files are removed after the import I can't log in, which makes sense considering the above bug, but would this also be the case if that bug wasn't there during the import?

Not at all, your question is welcome.
The fact is, XF allows developers to write their own authentication classes and delegates the process to it. Thus, for your imported users, the authentication scheme is CodeInMotion_Authentication_FluxBB and I don't see how you could have problems with future XF versions because this class handles the login, not XF.

Hi Benjy,
I am trying to import from fluxbb 1.5.3 and when trying to import users I am getting...
Error
The field 'identities' was not recognised.
Should my forum be closed or in maintenance mode when this is happening? also why is this error occuring.
Thanks, really need your help!

Hi KidCastro,
Please try again, replacing the original library/CodeInMotion/Importer/FluxBB.php file with the one attached.
The identities (ICQ, MSN, etc.) are handled differently in the latest XF versions.
If it doesn't work, you can try upgrading from FluxBB to XF 1.1.3, then upgrading your XF installation (yes I know, it's not very clean).
I already did convert his forum just yesterday.

A few quick items as I work through the importer to convert from FluxBB 1.2.17 to XenForo 1.2.1 :
- My "absolute path" was basically this: /home/useraccout/public_html/forum/img/avatars
- I got the error "file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect." I had to follow these instructions in WHM to allow access:
- I now have the error "The field 'identities' was not recognised." while trying to import users. (see more here). I'm stuck on this issue.
