Hello,

Is it possible to convert an IPB 1.3 database backup only to an SMF forum? I have the backup saved on my computer, at the moment.

Thanks,
Lucius

yes, but you need to modify the invision_to_smf.sql and import your database to a mysql database server before..

in invision_to_smf.sql find:

Code Select


---~ settings: "/conf_global.php"
---~ globals: INFO
---~ from_prefix: "`$INFO[sql_database]`.$INFO[sql_tbl_prefix]"

replace with:

Code Select


---~ parameters: ipb_database text=MySQL database used by IPB
---~ parameters: ipb_prefix text=Prefix used by IPB
---~ from_prefix: "`$ipb_database`.$ipb_prefix"

Is this the same that is needed to convert from IPB 3.0 to SMF 2.0 RC4?

Do I just than run the sql manually or through the convert.php?

Thanks
