Title: phpBB -> SMF - No PMs...? [solved]
Post by: RRasco on October 24, 2006, 10:47:09 AM
SMF Version: SMF 1.1 RC3
i recently converted my phpBB over to SMF 1.1 RC3.  After the conversion it said I had new PMs.  However when you go to the inbox there are no messages present.  If you go to the outbox, the sent messages are there.  I checked the db and the records are there.  Just wont show up.  I do have a mod which probably altered the way that PMs were handled in phpBB.  Even still, the db entries are there and appear to be correct.  Any suggestions?

i just tested my PMs.  I can send and recieve messages, although the imported messages wont show up in the inbox still, and the sent message does not show up in the outbox either.

Go into phpMyAdmin and look at the smf_pm_recipients table.  Look at the label column.  If it's blank run this query.

UPDATE smf_pm_recipients SET labels = -1

I had exactly the same problem.  But noticed some other strange things as well.  Under "Labels" in SMF, I have 27, but I cannot view them or ad new ones.

What does the -1 signify in the table?

-1 is default for inbox.

I'll be looking into picking up from where Oldiesmann left off and fix the converter.
