So lets say I've just used the convert.php and ipb22_to_smf.sql files to convert IPB 2.1.7... Have I just done a bad thing? That was a silly mistake on my part. Should I wipe it and start over? I swear I thought we were using IPB 2.2xx... If it's a bad thing, is there a way where I don't have to wipe the db and start from scratch?

JayBachatero:
You should be able to convert w/o having to erase everything.

Hi Juan- Okay I started over from scratch and installed and configured SMF 1.1.2. Next I copied * convert.php (63.03 KB - downloaded 123 times.) « Last Edit: January 28, 2007, 04:34:18 PM by JayBachatero » and  * invision21_to_smf.sql (33.89 KB - downloaded 7 times.) « Last Edit: February 12, 2007, 02:13:07 AM by JayBachatero » and ran the conversion. I'm converting from IPB 2.1.7...
Here are the results:
Avatars: do not show up except for the ones that were linked to url's.
Signatures: The code in the signatures did not convert and is visible. (ex-

--- Code: ---[size=]"Smart People Play Smart .....Stupid people suck! Don't play stupid". Me[/size]
--- End code ---

Images: Images in the posts seem to have converted properly (I checked a few).
Links: Email links in the posts seem to have converted properly.
Hyperlinks in the posts did not convert at all. There is just a single space wherever a link was.
Hyperlinks within signatures did not convert at all. Same as post hyperlinks.
Permissions: Basically, none of the permissions came across properly but I think that may be more to do with the way they may have been set up on IPB; possibly in a non-IPB standard manner.

Quick update:
I decided to check the code for one of the signatures in IPB and it looks like this:

--- Code: ---[size=3][font=Comic Sans Ms]"Smart People Play Smart .....Stupid people suck! Don't play stupid". Me[/font][/size]
--- End code ---
Then I looked at the same signature in SMF after the conversion and it looks like this:

--- Code: ---[size=][font=Comic Sans Ms]"Smart People Play Smart .....Stupid people suck! Don't play stupid". Me[/font][/size]
--- End code ---

I checked a few more and it looks like all numbers were dropped. Hope this gives some clues.
Thanks!
