Help converting from Yabb 1.3.1 to SE to SMF

(1/11) > >>

Satrina:
Hi, I would really appriciate any help you can think of!

I have a YaBB 1.3.1 board that I want to become an SMF forum.

I installed a YaBBSE forum in a new directory, that is up and working.

I downloaded the converter yabb2yabbse_1-5 and ran that.

I gave the converted all of my information, it did a ton of stuff and converted several things, but I think it gets stuck somewhere on the messages. Here is the last thing it prints:

Then that is all it is done, there are no links or buttons on the converted page. So I go back to my main forum page and see it added the new catagories, and all of the original members, but there are no messages.

My original forum had about 7000 topics.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Also once this does work and I have a fully functional YabbSE,  I have the SMF upgrade I believe I need, do I install that inside of the same directory as the YaBBSE and "upgrade" that, or do I put all the new files inside of a new directory and it does like the Yabb converter, you tell it where the YabbSE stuff it?

The forum I am trying to convert to is here:

hxxp:myphotos.aboutbeanies.com/chat/index.php [nonactive]

Any help would be great thank you!

After adding some debug to the converter script I can tell it stops before it prints "test111"


--- Code: ---
echo 'test1';
                        if (!checkFile($_REQUEST['boardsdir'] . '/' . $boardname . '.txt'))
                                continue;
echo 'test11';
                        $boardFile = file($_REQUEST['boardsdir'] . '/' . $boardname . '.txt');
echo 'test111';


--- End code ---

I don't know anything about php, is it possible to turn on more debug in a script?

UPDATE Well I tried running the script again after adding more debug and this time it didn't even get as far, only got to the " Initializing member data for processing" line this time. hmmmmm

Springer:
When you converted to yabbse did you go to version 1.5.X?  If so were all the members and messages there?

Ben_S:
Are you sure the converter had finnished running?

Satrina:
Welp nothing yet, it appears to have "finished" the browser stopped but that was it.

Im trying to convert this Yabb 1.3.1 (all the members are here)
This is just a copy of my active forum without any mods, just members, messages and boards from my active forum.
hxxp:myphotos.aboutbeanies.com/chatold/YaBB.cgi [nonactive]

to this YabbSE 1.5.5
hxxp:myphotos.aboutbeanies.com/chat/ [nonactive]

...back to try something else!

thanx!
