I love the new board!  But....I'm on Y1G.  I was about  to make the move to SE, but is there a converter to this board system from Y1G?  I'd love to make the move.

This board isn't ready so I'd suggest upgrading to SE and then to SMF when it's all good and ready ;)

I might prod with a gold importer, but... might be just as good to use the YaBB SE one.

You can get them here (Gold SP1.1 > SE 1.4.1)

or here (Gold SP1.2 > SE 1.5.1)

Thanks guys.  Looks like I'll convert to SE and then over to SMF when the time comes.

be sure to update your forum after converting it so you get up to 1.5.4 and not just 1.5.1 :)

Is there any likelyhood of a Yabb 1.2 converter?

I have Extended Profiles mod on my Yabb 1.2 board. How will the existing values survived a translation to Yabbse or SM?

Thanks

As SMF does not have extended profiles... the data will simple not be used (I dont think its deleted tho... could be...)

Actually... it's very easy to add more profile fields to SMF, the problem is that they are stored differently than standard profile fields, the converter would have to be modified a fair bit to cope.

I have a YaBB 1 Gold 1.3.1, I presume it's safe to use the same yabb SE converter? I don't think the data files changed at all.

I'm using the extended profiles mod as well. I'd like to use the info, as I've used it to make a Bio entry. :-/

One mod I will miss is MemberMap, I saw that yabbSE had one, any chance someone's working on that one for SMF? with the Gold version, I think the map data is stored on the location line of the user data file, is that going to screw up the Location field when I start converting?

Edit: I just found the Location Mod, sorry ::)

Were you able to convert from 1.3.1 to SE successfully?

ms_ukyankee

I have done the conversion on a test board. I had to skip converting the Settings, because it kept failing there, after 2-3 tries. Other than that last step, it went fine. Of course you lose all of your mod data, such as MBCO, MemberMap, Extended Profiles, Advanced IMbox, etc. I'm waiting to convert my main board until I have the template modified, and I haven't had time to work on it at all yet. I also want to be able to use additional Profile fields, so I'm waiting for the means to do that as well.

As an FYI, I was able to get my yabb 1.3.1 board onto yabbse but like you ms_ukyankee, I had to leave the settings out as well or the conversion would crap out.  Now I'm going to try to get my board up onto my "SMURF" install.  As soon as I find out how that is.  :D

That's the easy bit, just upload all the files in the smf upgrade zip into your yabbse directory, and run upgrade.php. :)

SMF Upgrade zip?  Hmmmm.

I'll need to root that one out.  Thanx.

On the downloads page, there's a zip to upgrade yabbse to smf.

Thanx I found it.  I'll keep you posted.

That went off without much of a hitch.  I didn't realize how many folders with image files in it the upgrade had.  I had to go back and upload those in binary again but after that, BOOM, my Yabb 1.3.1 was converted.

Anybody, know if SMF can password protect a forum?

What I want is to only allow certain people in.
