Help With YaBB 2.2 Conversion

<< < (3/4) > >>

HighAce:
That's fine Norv, i understand your busy. :)

It's getting very close to being finished now so hopefully it won't require to much more of your time to get the last few little issues sorted out!

HighAce:
I understand Norv is very busy, but can any of the other SMF team please help me to fix this small issue of the font size when converting from YaBB??

This looks to be the only outstanding issue i have for doing a successful YaBB 2.4 to SMF conversion and i really would like to get it fixed so i can finally convert my YaBB forum over to SMF.

I guess not :(

HighAce:
Well a bit more of a break through with my issues.

After immersing myself in code for the last 3 or so hours i have now fixed another problem and thought i'd share it for those who may be having the same trouble.

My PM's while all being converted over ok from a YaBB 2.4 forum using the convert file in this thread, they always started off with the very last page & PM being shown first, regardless of if you set the option in PM settings to "Show most recent personal messages at top", below is the fix i found for it, though this is done after you have converted, i couldn't find how to add it to the actual convert script, well not yet!

Open your Sources folder, then find and open the file called PersonalMessage.php and look for the following code:


--- Code: ---);

// They didn't pick one, use the forum default.
if (!isset($_GET['sort']) || !isset($sort_methods[$_GET['sort']]))
{
$context['sort_by'] = 'date';
$_GET['sort'] = 'pm.ID_PM';
$descending = false;
}
--- End code ---


Replace with:


--- Code: ---);

// They didn't pick one, use the forum default.
if (!isset($_GET['sort']) || !isset($sort_methods[$_GET['sort']]))
{
$context['sort_by'] = 'date';
$_GET['sort'] = 'pm.ID_PM';
$descending = true;
}
--- End code ---


Or just edit the part that says: $descending = false; and change false to true, this has fixed that problem at least.

The following are the remaining issues (i have come across thus far) that are currently stopping me from finally converting my proper forum across:

Membergroups not converting across properly and all end up in the 1 group
Outbox in PM's does not show who PM was sent to, TO field is blank
Small text on YaBB still converts to HUGE text on SMF (see Reply #8)

Hopefully with a bit of patience, and a huge amount of luck, i just may be able to fix these as well, and if i do i will be sure to share them here as well.

HighAce:
Please disregard my last post, the fix i found for the PM's did not work after all (for my situation at least), however i believe Norv is back on the case working on the converter again and will no doubt update here with any progress he has.

Regards.
