Im totally confused :(
I currently have IPB 3.0.1 and i just got a SMF Forum and my users from my previous board would like all their post to be on the new forum we have now which is SMF. I have downloaded the converter file but I started to get lost from that point on. Could anybody help me on how to convert, thanks:)
savrip:
I'm interested in how the convert works exactly. I'm hesitant to use it on a live board and have been trying to make a duplicate to run the test on. If it only reads and exports from the IPB then I don't see any reason I couldn't use it on the live board. I hope with all the hard work done on this converter that it serves my needs. I've been wanting to get off of IPB for a long time.
TE:
you can use your live board for the conversion, the converter makes a copy from the source system's data to SMF. the source system (IPB) will remain untouched.
please check out Converting to SMF

I'm trying to convert IPB 2.3.1 to SMF (either version) using the relevant converters locally. I've got my Invision board running on my home server and I've got SMF installed (2.0 RC5) at the moment using the same database.
When I try to run the conversion script it gets to
--- Quote ---Converting...
Successful.

It doesn't go any further or provide any buttons and when I check the SMF forum absolutely nothing has happened. When I view the source code of the page it doesn't finish (there's no end to the body tags/html tags, it just stops at "statistics..."). Observe:

I don't know if there are any error logs I should be checking (nowhere seems to document where the converter script logs to). What's going on?
I'd like to add that I had the exact same problem with the 1.x branch of SMF.
What can I do to give you the information you'd need to help me?
Has anyone else encountered something similar?
