[SMF Converter] Fireboard 1.0.x

[SleePy]

For the avatars, it appears the file doesn't exist or isn't read/writable by php.

As for the username, are you sure you are entering the right details for the login name?
I believe fireboard supported display and usernames so make sure you are using the right one.

I can't get past this error . . someone else had the same error but no fix posted

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ')' in C:\wamp\www\morcc\smf1\convert.php on line 2656

There is an error in the converters on the downloads page, we are working on getting them updated here soon.

Hi, I have a problem.
I use Joomla 1.5.6. and Fireboard 1.0.4.
I have smf and joomla tables in same database.
If I use convert.php in browser I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ')' in /usr/www/clevernet/ds-2669/eseznam.cz/www/cs/smf/convert.php on line 2656

I am really noob in mysql and php. Can anyone write a simple "what you must do" manual please?

Converting to SMF should help...

Thanks for your help, but there is a problem with the converter; it says:

The converter detected that your host has open_basedir enabled on this server. Please ask your host to disable this setting or try moving the contents of your Fireboard 1.0 to the public html folder of your site.

What can I do? 

Hello,
do you remember me and my problem?
I'm trying to convert fireboard to smf to another website, and the same error appears...
I've already tried to mod the sql file deleting some characters as you said me some messages ago, but there is still the same problem...

[ThorstenE]

Very strange... now seems working 

Can you PM me a link to both forums  (SMF & Fireboard) and FTP-Access?

[PaVi90]

Just done. Let me know if you need some other info...

[ThorstenE]

It's working now the configuration.php was much different from a normal joomla installation and so the fireboard_to_smf.sql was unable to read the joomla databse.

[PaVi90]

wow thank you very much! Just curious... what have you modified?

[ThorstenE]

in fireboard_to_smf.sql I  changed

Code Select Expand

---~ settings: "/configuration.php"
---~ from_prefix: "`$mosConfig_db`.$mosConfig_dbprefix"

to:

Code Select Expand

---~ settings: "/fireboard_migration.php"
---~ from_prefix: "`" . $fireboard_database . "`.$fireboard_prefix"

then created a new file named fireboard_migration.php and placed it to your joomla directory:

Code Select Expand

<?php

// Change this to the database name you are using.
$fireboard_database = 'dbname';

// Change this to the database prefix you are using in the above database.
$fireboard_prefix = 'jos_';
?>

Thanks a lot!! 

You are a wizard 

How can I check now if other users can log to new forum? I've applied the LoginFix package...

[ThorstenE]

Have you tried it with your own account? It should work after installing the LoginFix.

[PaVi90]

No, I had to reset my password because I cannot install LoginFix before resetting it...

[ThorstenE]

you can convert the forum again and then test it with your account ..another way is to contact one of your members and let him/her test this..

[PaVi90]

Yes I've just asked a member to try the login, and everthing works fine

Now the next step: conversion SMF--> MyBB.

Thank you for all!!!

As for the failing avatars I could modify the fireboard_to_smf.sql like this

replace

Code Select Expand

if (strlen($newfilename) <= 255 && copy($_POST['path_from'] . '/components/com_fireboard/avatars/', $attachmentUploadDir . '/' . $newfilename))
with

Code Select Expand

if (strlen($newfilename) <= 255 && copy($_POST['path_from'] . '/components/com_fireboard/avatars/' . $row['filename'], $attachmentUploadDir . '/' . $newfilename))

after I copied the avatars to the /components/com_fireboard/avatars/ directory. I got the "The first argument to copy() function cannot be a directory..."-error.


Greets,

[SleePy]

Thanks for the information. I fixed it in my sources

[rod77]

Code Select Expand
