[SMF Converter] phpBB3

[Ggot]

I checked this link.

SMF and phpBB tables are in the same database... Actually there is only one database on the server

[JayBachatero]

Is SMF and phpBB using the same username?

[Ggot]

Admin username ? No, it is not the same. Ggot for phpBB and Admin for SMF.

[JayBachatero]

No I mean for the database.  In config.php for phpBB and Settings.php for SMF.

[Ggot]

Big thanks for the help, this solved the problem. (I just migrated my site from a small host company to GoDaddy, and I thought to lastly change my too-complicated phpBB3 to SMF - and there was a database data change.) After I rewrote data in config.php conversion was succesfull.

Thanks again, ggot

Hey there Jay, thanks for the great work on this converter!!! Despite having no initial errors with the converter, I have encountered a few problems after the fact.  Namely, the user passwords seemed to have gotten real screwy (I used the password package instead of modifying the loginout file) and as a result of some permissions base thing, my tiny portal has gotten it's setting totally messed up.  The result is that page elements will no long display (blocks) and I am at an absolute loss as towards how to fix it.  Although Tinyportal is certainly not along the lines of this discussions, I will humbly ask if you know of any potential solutions to my issues, or have heard of similar issues in the past.  You can see what I am trying to do at www.test2.raidguru.net.  Thanks again, and let me know if there is any small amount of assistance you can provide oh wise one!

Are you logged in or viewing as a guest?
As a guest I don't see blocks either. It could be the TinyPortal permissions.

But if you are able to login and everything, then this isn't a converter issue but a permission issue with tinyportal and you would get better answers from asking at the TinyPortal website.

I've enabled everyone to see all the elements viewable. . .  More or less, we are seeing the same thing (minue an admin link).  I was just curious to see if you guys may have heard anything along these lines from other TP users in the past.  It's highly unlikely I will find an answer on the TP site, so what will more than likely happen is that I will just wipe it all clean and do a fresh install as things were working to that point.  It sorta sucks that I need to forego the posts on my old forums, but there are bigger problems in the world   Either, thanks for the response man, I truly appreciate your concern for the community based on this software.  Being a WoW guy, I am used to dealing with a community of people who would look for the worst rather than bolster the best out of things.  Again thank you.

I did the conversion and it worked well. I can't seem to login though. I am kind of new to this can someone explain? Thanks!

[Bonesy]

ok i did the password support thing and edited: LogInOut.php

But I still cannot login.

Do I have to run the convert.php again?

Thanks!

[Bonesy]

OK I can log in now. I cannot find any user control panel or even the admin panel! What's up?

did you login with an administrative Account from PHPBB? Then you should have Admin-Rights?

You can do a small fix with PHPMyAdmin

Code Select Expand

update smf_members SET ID_GROUP=1 where ID_MEMBER=yourid
change smf_ to your prefix and yourid to your username's ID. After that the fixed User is in Admin-Group.

Hi Guys,

I am getting an error with the converting process at the private messages stage.

Code Select Expand

Converting posts... Successful.
Converting polls... Successful.
Converting poll options... Successful.
Converting poll votes... Successful.
Converting personal messages (step 1)... Successful.
Converting personal messages (step 2)... Unsuccessful!
This query:
INSERT INTO `st2222_phpb1`.smf_pm_recipients

('581', '2', '-1', '1', '1'),
('587', '4', '-1', '1', '1'),


Caused the error:

Duplicate entry '1110-4' for key 1

Does anyone have any ideas on what I should Do???

Thank You 

[ThorstenE]

have you retried the conversion?  "Duplicate entry" sometimes is a reason for to much queries and cause the server to overload.
you can change these lines in the phpbb3_to_smf.sql, maybe then you get better results:

change

Code Select Expand

---* {$to_prefix}personal_messages
to

Code Select Expand

---* {$to_prefix}personal_messages 200

and

Code Select Expand

---* {$to_prefix}pm_recipients
to

Code Select Expand

---* {$to_prefix}pm_recipients 200

[aarron]

Just gave that a go and no luck

Any more ideas??

[aarron]

Just had a play around with the values and changed it from 22 to 2000 and it worked!! 

Now I get an error when logging on-

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/str0000/public_html/forum/Sources/LogInOut.php on line 483

I have edited the loginout.php with what is said on the first page of the topic. Any Ideas?

[ThorstenE]

it must be a typo in Line 483, forgotten ' or ; i think.. please recheck all your changes.

Edit: if you can't get it work attach your LoginOut.php here.

[aarron]

Yeah, was an error. I have rechecked it over and over again and now it just keeps asking for a username and password after I try to login.

[ThorstenE]

try this one

Edit: updated Version (for smf 1.1.4)

[aarron]

Still getting the same
