Title: Convert
Post by: Elizabeth II on May 10, 2012, 02:22:23 PM
Helllo,

I want to convert from  IPBoard version 3.2.3 to SMF 2.0.2 but I seen the converters currently on here are for both the older versions :/ Can anyone provide me with updated ones that will work for me please?

Thanks for your time.

Hello Mod Mark,

I'm not an expert on converters, but I'm fairly sure we'd need at least a database schema (better a backup) to know how data are stored and few informations on the file structure (i.e. where are stored the basic informations like the database name and password).

Are you able and would you like to provide us with these informations?

Hello, thanks for your reply.

Yes, I've got a database schema (backup), how would you like me to share it?

No idea, unfortunately I had few things to do in these last days and I wasn't able to look at the converter...
