Request for improvement to YaBB Gold SP 1.x converter:

* Allow conversion of attachments

(The current convertor does not convert attachments.)


Many thanks to [Unknown] for his great works!

CBB ?

The latest version of XMB is 1.9.1 Nexus, although I haven't had a chance to test the current converter with this version of XMB, so it might still work.

YaBB 2 to SMF...maybe after YaBB 2 goes final...?

Any word on the Zorum converter?
We could really use it.

I'd like to put in a request for a converter!  I use a less known board callled eblah (www.eblah.com) and I'd LOVE to convert it over to SMF. eblah is a great message board but I have come to really like all the features of this board (SMF).  I know that eblah has a conveter to convert from Yabb (not sure which versions) to eblah, I could get that code to someone to see what would be involved??  Thanks!!

CBB ? 

I don't think your going to find alot of people wanting to convert that. There is only 4 copies in use that I could find on google, and 2 of them are mine.

Kind of makes me wonder if it's worth it to keep it alive.

[Owdy]

Chris, it was a joke Maybe bad one but still

[Chris Cromer]

I know it was a joke, that's why you put that smiley.

[CapriSkye]

how about converters for these boards:
http://www.discuz.com/index.php?category=4
http://down.dvbbs.net/

two of the biggest board in china.

thanks

[Vietkid58]

how about integrating SMF with e107?

[Oldiesmann]

[Unknown] - I did a test the other day, and it does appear that the XMB 1.8 Partagium converter also works fine with 1.9.x Nexus, although I haven't had a chance to fully test it yet (haven't tested it with attachments or sub-boards). I will have more time to test it next week and will let you know what I find.

I've used MyBB before, but I dont think it can compare to SMF. Here's the website: http://mybboard.com, I think it might be a good idea for a converter.

EDIT: Realised that I forgot to put the .com to the adress

I want to convert an old forum based on MS Access into SMF
It would be handy to have a script to import a flatfile (csv) for topics only:

File formatted something like:
MessageID¥RootID¥Date¥Author¥Subject¥Message

Authors could be guest only.
Is there any present converter that could be modified like this or does anyone have a script doing this?

I need a converter for ubb.threads 6.4.x. I'll be happy to act as a test board for it as well...

I suspect if you created a working ubb.threads converter, you'd have a lot of converts. Ubb.threads has really hit the wall in terms of providing useful, timely, and bug-free newer versions.

I am looking to convert my WBB 2.3.0 forum to simple machines, any plans for one?


Thanks

[Oldiesmann]

coffee - someone did make one, but somehow it didn't make it to the download page. You can get it at http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=98

That's not labeled for 2.3.x.

-[Unknown]

[Oldiesmann]

It says "2.x.x", so I would assume that includes 2.3.x. If it doesn't, I apologize.
