[SMF Converter] Burning Board 3

(1/18) > >>

TE:
Software: Burning Board
Version: 3.0.x

This is the official support topic for Burning Board3 converter.  Use this topic to ask for support for this converter.

Note: This was tested on Burning Board 3, but should in theory work on other versions of  Woltlab Burning Board 3.x if the database changes have not been to great.

wbb3_migration.php
For the conversion to be able to complete, the wbb3_migration.php file is required. You will need to modify this file to reflect your Database name and Database prefix and upload to your Burning Board directory.

Does Not Convert
* Permissions (This might not be supported at all so please check permissions before making the board live.  Everything will be admin only for board access.)
* Membergroups
Password Support
Burning Board 3 has their own custom password hash so you need to edit LogInOut.php to add support for password conversion. Alternatively, you can used the wbb3_Login_Fix.zip modification (attached below) via Package Manager.

How to convert
Use this convert.php with the .sql file attached in this topic.

I tried to convert from wbb3 and got this info:  :(


--- Code: ---Converting members... Unsuccessful!
This query:

    ALTER TABLE `zeitwortsql5`.smf_members
    CHANGE COLUMN passwordSalt passwordSalt varchar(40) NOT NULL default '';

Caused the error:

    Unknown column 'passwordSalt' in 'smf_members'
--- End code ---

Now I can't login in SMF with my old username.

TE:
The converter is for SMF 1.1.x only at the moment. I believe you tried converting to SMF 2.0 RC1 instead?

zeitwort:
Thank you for this converter - he works good and fast ( only 1 hour for 150.000 posts)  :)

Is it possible to convert also the Links in the quotes?

I give you an example:

SMF

--- Code: ---[quote author=krahi link=topic=8616.msg157025#msg157025 date=1243797356]
--- End code ---

wbb3

--- Code: ---[quote='krahi',index.php?page=Thread&postID=157025#post157025]
--- End code ---

TE:
in general that's possible, but it requires a lot of developement time.. Internal SMF links use the ID_TOPIC (unique ID from a Topic) whereas WBB3 Links only use the ID_MSG  (unique ID from the messages).
