Image problem after moving forum

(1/2) > >>

afcbob:
I had a forum on phpbb and moved it to vbulletin managed to move members and posts across but images never came across was not happy with it. So I have now moved it to a SMF forum.  :)

What i want is the old images moved across i still have the old files and database from the phpbb forum

Any help would be great as its a big loss not having this images.

Thanks

MrPhil:
Have you used the phpBB to SMF converter? See http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=133.0 . That should bring everything across for you (database of members and posts, and most if not all attachments and images). If you have custom images for things like board or topic status, those will probably have to be brought over manually.

Doctor Deejay:
Moved to the phpbb conversion board :)

afcbob:
I have all the members and post from the vbulletin just not images.

I just tried that and get this error
Converting ranks... Unsuccessful!
This query:
DELETE FROM `sreefer_smf`.smf_membergroups
WHERE groupName LIKE 'phpBB %';
Caused the error:
Unknown column 'groupName' in 'where clause'b

MrPhil:
I would try to go back to the phpBB as your starting point, rather than a forum that's already been converted to vB. Who knows what irregularities happened in the conversion from phpBB to vB.

As for your specific error, I take it that sreefer_smf is the database name. There should have been a table created in there named "membergroups", and if your "prefix" is the default, that would be "smf_".  I'm not familiar with the innards of the converters, so I don't know what it's expecting to find within that table.

Does this converter match the SMF version you're converting to? I see that SMF 2 has table membergroups with field group_name, while the older SMF 1 used groupName. There might be a problem there with the converter, or you're using a wrong version. If the converter is hard coded to groupName, it would either have to be patched to work with SMF 2, or you would have to install and convert to SMF 1.1.16, and then upgrade to SMF 2.0.2.

I'll leave it to someone familiar with the converters to discuss this.
