[SMF Converter] IPB 2.1.x

<< < (30/31) > >>

TE:
DB only conversion is possible, but you must emulate the conf_global.php file from IPB.
Create a file named conf_global:

--- Code: ---<?php
$INFO[sql_database] = 'name_of_your_database';
$INFO[sql_tbl_prefix] = 'ibp_table_prefix';
?>
--- End code ---
replace name_of_your_database with the database name and ipb_table_prefix with the prefix from all tables ( I think it's ipb_ or similar).
the upload this file to a directory and specify this directory in convert.php

Aen Sidhe:
Thank you a lot, it helps me to convert DB.

One more fix in your file (you forgot quotes in array indexes):

--- Code: ---<?php
$INFO['sql_database'] = 'name_of_your_database';
$INFO['sql_tbl_prefix'] = 'ibp_table_prefix';
?>
--- End code ---

Hi,
Thanks for SMF and all the excellent support.

I am converting a big board from IPB2.1.6 and am getting this error when I get to converting posts:


--- Quote ---Converting posts (this may take some time)... Unsuccessful!
This query:
INSERT INTO ...(lists entire database)

Caused the error:

Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes
--- End quote ---
Any ideas?  Thank you very much.

TE:
You can try to reduce the numer of parallel converted posts:
in invision21_to_smf.sql find:

--- Code: ------* {$to_prefix}messages 200
--- End code ---
replace it with:

--- Code: ------* {$to_prefix}messages 100
--- End code ---
If you get the same error again you can reduce the number to 50, hopefully that helps...

SteveMD6:
Had to reduce it to 25...but now it is running.  WIll give you an update...whenever it gets done.  Thanks!
