1- Make it work with quotes, formatted text and special characters
2- I have another problem. Sometimes some new posts appear trimmed too. I don't know why but it happens. Any idea how can I resolve this?

As for #1; do you have a link to your forum so I can see what you mean?
As for #2; new postings on SMF, postings which don't exist in the old database?

Hi everyone!

I'm having some issues with the converter. The transfer is between phpBB 3.0.8 and SMF 2.0.2. Most of the content converts successfully, posts seem to be the problem. This is the error that gets displayed:
Converting posts...You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ORDER BY null' at line 203

I saw in the errors thread a similar one but couldn't find the mentioned code in convert.php

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I try to convert a phpbb 3.0.10 forum to smf. I download the latest convertor from this site (Phpbb 3 to SMF 2-0) and follow the instructions.
The path to the phpbb 3.0.10. forum is "../forum"
I install the clean new smf 2.0.2. forum in "../community"

After this I call the converting mask "../community/convert.php" and after a few steps I get this massage:


--- Code: ---Converting posts...
Duplicate entry '4627' for key 'PRIMARY'

--- End code ---

I take a look on this topic and I was thinking that this is the solution to my problem but the id_cat value on my db was even 4. Still get this error. I try the same on localhost with xampp and get the same error with other number.

It would be very nice if someone coult help me out. since one yeahr a convert the same forum from smf to phpbb  :'(

Hey guys, I need to do a conversion from Phpbb3 to SMF2 and I just want to make sure I have understood the process correctly.
Correct me if I'm wrong please :)

The older Phpbb3 database I am transferring is on a seperate host to the SMF installation / databse.

1> Install a fresh phpbb3 install to the same host as the SMF database.
2> Aquire the mysql backup of the phpbb3 installation (from the older seperate host) and import it into the new phpbb3 database
3> Now both forums are on same host / database, upload the convert.php file to the root of the SMF forum
4> navigate to convert.php to begin process
5> profit?

Thanks in advance
