I would very much like to convert my Drupal forum to SMF 1.1. What a mistake I made in using Drupal. Help!
Hi, I think the converter for eblah works only with a 9.0 version.
I tried to convert eblah 9.6 platinum in SMFF RC1 and 3 and gott only errors.
Any ideas ??
Thanks
Permutations what version of Drupal are you using?
JungleBunny I'll see if I can get eblah to install on my PC. If I'm able to install it I'll look into it.

You know, I'd love to tell you this, but this piece-of-crap software doesn't make it that easy to tell. It's either 4.6.8 or 4.7.2. I can't remember if I upgraded or not. I will continue hunting for clues.
Thanks for looking into this. I'm going to switch no matter what, but it sure would be nice not to lose the entire message base.
Geesh. I finally figured it out by looking at the custom theme I'd made. I had to change it for 4.7. I'm running 4.6.8.

For GOD Sake, that would be great, Jay !!!!!! :-* :-* :-*
Yet I am running an eblah forum with about 5000 members and got some trouble with my provider, cause of the traffic. He said it is the perl script who make such big traffic.
so I looked around and found SMF.
You would get some money because of your work. Of course.
Thanks
JungleBunny
I'll look into both converters this week.
JungleBunny what convert.php are you using? Did fou get the file from the Download > Converters page?
I used the " smf_1-1-rc3_eblah_converter ". I tried both progs ( eblah_to_smf.php and convert.php ).
But the converting file said...eblah 9.
So I thought maybe it is not for the next generation like eblah 9.6 platinum.
So I installed SMF RC1 and RC2 but with the same result.
Nothing was imported.
Ok need to look into this more.

Hi,
I need a converter for the forum "phpMyForum".
It's a german software:
phpMyForum 4.1.3
http://www.phpmyforum.de/
http://www.phpmyforum.de/downloads.html
Can you make a converter?
I'm looking exactly for the same. could anyone give me a forecast, how long such a programming will take?
Peter
dash, could you send a database dump to me? I'll need to see how complex it will be to convert.
Could you please tell me if you have a converter from yabb 2.1 to smf 1.0.8 or how long it will be before you make one. If you have a converter already where can I down load it from. Many Thanks Mossy
I am working on fixing the converter to work on 1.1 RC3. If you want to use 1.1 RC3 i can send you the converter.

I found a bug on converting PMs once I fix it I'll email it.
I have SMF 1.1 RC3 all installed and working just waiting for the converter to be finished. It looks great more and better features than yabb thats for sure. Mossy
need a converter from "phpBB2 Plus 1.52"
kelf1975 did you try the regular phpBB converter?
yes i did. i get this error: Unable to find the settings for phpBB2. Please double check the path and try again.
i've double checked the path and still get the error
The config file might be located somewhere else. I'll have to look into it when I get a chance.
-Is there anyone who has the time to do a special converter?
I need the Invision converter to be modified so it also converts IPB blog into FelBlog. All applications are on the same db.
Current: Invision board + Invision Blog
Converted to: SMF board + FelBlog
I'll pm full access to my db if anyone have the time to create this converter!
-Is that possible?
-If not, is there anyone who can make me a converter Invision blog => FelBlog?
-Where can I learn to create own converters?
Thank you!

A database dump would be helpful.
Hi Oldiesmann,
no I haven't asked Orstio or Kindred. Their signatures tell that they don't want any questions about support?
Hi there,
I desperately need the code in the converter already on this site for eBlah v.9-SMF to be updated to eBlah v.10-SMF. The developers made some changes in the database for v.10 and so the converter no longer works. :(
I can provide a database from my eBlah forum if that helps and can donate $20 towards the time needed to update the PHP conversion script.
I have already installed SMF 1.1 RC3 on my server and have eBlah v.10.X installed on the same server so am ready to go when you are. As soon as the posts (2000+) are ported over I can get my community up and running on my installation of SMF.
Thanks for your help.
EDIT: To anyone reading this in the future, Oldiesmann updated the converter for me over the weekend and the converter should now be available either in the converters section or by searching the site.
Email me a database dump to
[email protected]. I'll look at it when ever I get time.
vera can you email me a dump of your joomlaboard forum?

I have already started a thread about this, in which I tried to use the YaBB SE converter (YaPP is based on YaBB SE 1.5.0).
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=93611.0
Since it didn't work, I'd like to ask if it is possible to create a converter for YaPP.
Please make a XennoBB Converter.
It's based on PunBB.
Are there any plans for CPG Nuke converter as my site www.radopod.com is running on it now but I am not that very happy with it and would thus like to change to SMF which I think is pretty cool!
i need to convert phpbb1 to smf 1.1.1
i tried phpbb2 but it doesnt work
i hope (even its already obsolete) you'll still create IPB 1.2 to SMF converter coz some admins still uses IPB 1.2 and would like to transfer to SMF.
Agreed, My webhosting provided up to 1.2 and then stopeed supporting it and I want to convert to SMF 1.1.1 I have tried the 1.3 but I get errors on the polls options
I need a converter for IPB 2.1.7! ;___;
This's the board: http://www.invisionboard.com/
If anyone has an install package for IPB 1.2, please let me know. I can work on a converter, but I need something running to test with. A backup from IPB 1.2 is also needed.

Compressed? If not, try compressing it, you'll often get 10:1 compression. I can always provide an FTP account for you to upload to.
I too would be interested in a converter from phpBB2 with Categories Heirarchy and Topic Calendar mods installed. I did see some talk about this on another thread and it seemed some work had been put into this conversion for an earlier RC version of SMF, but as it's not listed in the converters I guess it either never reached completion or no longer works.

How much changes in the db from the base phpBB format? Are there major changes in the mods themselves between versions? (Basically, I'm trying to figure out how much work it will be to develop and maintain.)

Hard to say from where I'm sitting, but as CH adds nestable subforums and also changes the administration panel completely I would guess the structure differs fairly widely from the vanilla, even before you consider the calendar add-on. The file structure of phpBB is changed making it very difficult to add other mods as some of the files needed for them no longer exist.
On the plus side, however, maintenance shouldn't be a problem once it's done as phpBB 3 will negate any need for CH so there are going to be no more major versions, just small bug fix changes to the code if needed.
I'm fairly sure it was Oldiesmann who was attempting it in the previous post so may be better to ask him as he would know the technicalities of it better than I.
andy I think you might be able to use the yabb converter if you get the files.

I know it`s a bit early to ask especially as you haven`t done it yet! Do you have you any idea what the converter will convert?
If you need a 2.2 database to work from give me a shout :)
Well it should convert what ever the 2.x converters. I think I might need a database to test it on. I'll let you know.
If you could post exactly what errors you're getting with the 2.1 converter (recently updated to fix a couple of typos), I'll see if I can get it working for you.
Tell users to convert first from ipb 2.2 to vbulletin 3.5x with impex
then convert from vbulletin to smf all will work exept the passwords and a view things
Will you buy me a VBulletin license so I can do this? :)

Anyone here to have a convertor for Drupal 4.5.1 ?
What I am concerned about is USERBASE and their post in FORUM of drupal.
Nothing else is important .
If you send me a database dump I can take a look at it for you.
Hi,
I have an ikonboard 3.1.1 that I am replacing with SMF, I downloaded the converter but it only works with SQL not the DMB that that version set up as default.
I have asked about doing the conversion in ikonboard but that community is pretty far gone and answers are few and far between :(
I did an export database of the board and the format looks pretty simple, but after having to figure out all the issues involved in moving from redhat 8 to suse 10.1, and getting PHP, SQL, and all the other stuff running right on my new web/mail/ftp/forum server I'm pretty brain dead.
Anyone interested in spiffing up the existing ikonboard converter to do the ikonboard export format (or dbm)???
I can help.
I have all the data & a working ikonboad & a working smb (On separate machines tho).
Tia
Daniel
Try converting your database from dbm to MySQL. Then after that convert to SMF.
Vbull 3.6 to smf 1.1.1

I would but the thing is. I just found out the co-owner didn't buy it. He used an illegal copy so I took it offline for now untill I convert.
Thats the main reason im converting, but I have been wanting to since I created my other smf board and awesome support here.
But I will run it for you if you want..
You can convert while it's offline. Just need to run the convert files. If you have AIM or MSn hit me up.

Hi again,
I'm not having any luck at all converting my 3.1.1 ikonboard to SQL so I can import it into SMF.

Is there someone I can just pay to build this converter?

Converter Name: Nuke-Evolution
Converter Website: http://www.nuke-evolution.com/
I had made a seperate post regarding this before noticing this thread, I'll remove it after I post this.
The convert from Nuke-Evo to this seems it wouldn't be too different than converting phpbb, the database looked fairly similar, there's just some slight differences.
Thanks in advance! Or a polite no would work as well =)
Any updates on CPG Nuke to SMF converter.

Save as above. I'll update it when I get some free time.
For the flat file, I'm guessing it would be a lot easier to figure out the API for them, then include and use the flat file API rather than mucking with the data structures...
If anyone's interested in an Invisionfree crawler-style converter, or a similar version for Proboards, I have one available that I'm willing to distribute freely [conversion should get almost everything except user passwords, which are handled by mass-PMing new passwords to the users, and advanced features like attachments and such]

I noticed that you posted this in late February, so I'm hoping that there's been time for someone to develop an eBlah 10.2 to SMF converter?
Note: I am referring to the flatfile eBlah 10.2 forum script, not their new SQL version.

is there any chance a phpbb3-converter will be available on short notice?
i have a forum that screams for SMF...
If I get time next week, I'll look into making one for you, but I've got a lot of other things to do, so I can't guarantee anything.
I know that the phpBB2 converter is supposed to work for php boards from 2.0.19 and up, but has anyone heard of any problems trying to convert 2.0.21? The reason I ask is because I've tried 3 times now and I keep getting the same error message.
Thank you,
John
Dear Conversion Gurus,
I have "inherited" the admin function for a community forum using DNF (Da NobodX Forum; discontinued French forum package, available for download Here (http://www.toocharger.com/fiches/scripts/da_nobodx_forum/3387.htm)) which is PHP based with no DB component (all data is stored in text files on the server and managed by PHP).
I currently manage two other community forums based on SMF and would love to be able to migrate this one to be the same
The forum PHP stores each topic in a separate text file on the server. I've included a sample file for reference.
I am not looking for a fully automated migration of all forum contents, I'm merely hoping to recover the user postings if at all possible (The users have been kind enough to confirm their willingness to register all their details in a fresh SMF installation if required).
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Chaku
Bumping the last request for DNF conversion assistance.
Can an Admin/Mod assist by splitting this out as a separate topic if this location is inappropriate?
Many Thanks!
Hrmmm,
looks like noone is interested in supporting this migration.
Next steop is to move my posting to the main converters request section and leave it there for a couple of days. Failing that, I should post a paid request for help.
So much for the vibrant support community :) Juuust kidding, i know you guys are busy and this isnt your paying job, and i wont get into thewhole "we should have teh option of paying for great packages like SMF if only to get timely support ;) " discussion.
Joomla to SMF converter please?
Search for Joomla Board or Simpleboard converters on thsi forum. There are existing threads for this (Unless of ocurse you have some other integrated forum into joomla such as PHPBB in which case you shoudl search for that specific forum converter)
Good luck!

Anyone know if the simpleboard converter will work with fireboard (http://www.bestofjoomla.com).
** Well i went ahead and tried it. It converted the forums, users but not the post. I get this error.

please an phpbb3 converter
carmelomvp, there is no need to repeat yourself. I am fairly certain that a phpbb3 converter will come along at some point in the future.
Do realize that phpbb3 is still not final, stable software. There could still be changes made that would render keeping a converter updated nigh impossible.
Just have some patience, as like i said, i am sure that one will be created

Is there a proboards to SMF converter?
I've got one; PM or email for details.
Can someone help me to convert drupal 4.5.1 into smf ?
nneonneo: have you considered submitting it for general use if it isn't already available?
I think it would be of great use
Could you please consider creating a convertor for .Net Nuke Forums (ASP)

Is there an SMF->SMF "converter" available? I.e. if you have two separate installations of SMF running, and you want to merge those two?
Automatically incrementing the ids so that no posts etc. would be overwritten?
Alternatively, I'll write one myself.. I can't seem to find good documentation for the database structure, however. Am I looking the wrong places?
Currently no. There is/was one in the works but the team member who was working on it is on hiatus for personal life issues.
Hmm.. I'll write one myself then. If I can wrap my head around the correct order of things as well as the database structure.
Do you have XMB 1.9.7 Nexus (RC3) converter cuz when i download the converter on the download page, my whole smf forum template when missing <3!

I have a very obscure forum that I'd like to convert to SMF. It's called GF++ and is a GameFAQs spinoff.
http://zeikfried.com/spinoffs
I use a slightly modified version of the OG (Karma) spinoff.
I'd love to be rid of this buggy script and have SMF in it's place.
I'll try to answer anything I can to help things along, if needed.
I want to convert my UBB Classic 5.47e board.
Have been unable to find a converter. Any help would be appreciated so that I can begin using SMF. Thanks. I know there are a lot of other old UBB boards that are tired of UBB.
XMB 1.9.7, I need a converter for XMB 1.9.7 for my forums areas
anyone got any ideas for my forum that I want to get converted?

Hello. I have a request as many other.
I need an converter for phpbb3 rc7 to smf 1.1.4. Is there any existing one?
Phpbb3 converter is not yet completed. phpbb3 is also still in rc status which means changes are still being made, which makes converters somewhat difficult to do as one new version might be totally different to another. it is possible we wont see one until 3 goes gold.
I thougt so.. This sucks.
Well i can say that one is in the works. we will have to see what jay has to say though

Jay, I have an community forum using drupal.. 4.5.1 which I mentioned earlier, I want it to convert it to drupal.. or u suggest some alternate way.. like some board which has convertor to get coverted from drupal and then from that board to SMF ?
Can create WBB3 converter? Please?
Would love a Simple Forum (http://simpleforum.net) 4.6.1 to SMF converter.

I need Converter from Snitz 3.4.06 to SMF 1.1.4 that support Unicode UTF-8.
I tried all ways from this forum but all failed, after conversion all users passwords gone, and the messages displayed improperly (wrong charset).
Cheer,
Finally what is going on with phpbb plus version?
Is there any converter that fits?
I still run on phpBB 2.0.17 !!!!! It is full of bugz!!!
Thanx in advance!
I combed through a section of this forum and all of this thread in hopes of finding what I was looking for and, seeing as I didn't, I hope that it's not an unreasonable request.
But has anyone made, or seen, and X5 to SMF converter?
Edit: Nevermind, I think I just found what I was looking for.
Hello all,
i want change my forum from wbb3 to SMF.
I'm looking for Converters from wbb3 to SMF.

a converter is in planning?

Is there a converter for BbBoard (aka BbBoy)? (link to their site: http://bb.bbboy.net/ )
We're currently on version 1.4, but we could upgrade to v2 if that makes life easier.
Should I assume the lack of reply means that such a converter doesn't exist?
Question for Zherog:: is this a webhosted forum, which won't offer the database for download? In that case, I may be able to help, having written converters (Invisionfree, Proboards, ActiveBoards) of this type before.
Seeing as phpBB3 is stable, are there any converters for it yet? :D
not yet
There is a phpBB3 converter (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=218449) now, thanks to JayBachatero. :D
