struggler:
Hey,
I'm trying to get away from Forumotion....
Pythonscript worked flawless, however I have problems imporing the members.sql
Whenever I try it get :
#1146 - Table 'test.smf_users' doesn't exist
I triplechecked if I had the wrong prefix but it is "smf_" in the settings.py aswell as in my installation.
I would appreciate any help.
could it be that this crawler doesn't work for the latest SMF 2.0.2 release (table name changes?) ?

@struggler: Script specifically says it works only for SMF 1.3.x. Import to an SMF 1.3 board, then upgrade that to SMF 2.0.
struggler:
Ah...my bad. Thx for the hint. :)

Hello Everyone,
I am not very good with this kind of thing, so I'm going to ask some layman's questions here and I hope you can be patient with me.
I need to convert and Invisionfree Power Board to SMF. I need to know what I will need from Invisionfree to make this happen.
Will I simply need a (full database backup from Invisionfree) + a blank SMF forum of the correct series on my server to accept the database backup?
Is it that simple or much more complex than that?
Thanks very much for any assistance you can provide.
Jim

@DamselStruction: This Invisionfree converter is meant for users who can't (or won't) get a database backup from Invisionfree.
If you can get the backup, you should convert using the normal IPB 1.3 converter (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=146211.0).
The process is almost as you describe, but the backup you get will need to be converted first. Follow the IPB converter's instructions at the posted link.
