I'm trying to set up a site that is planning on moving. They want the same skin and everything, but the problem is that the old skin is IPB 1.3 and I need to set it up on SMF 2.0.4. I'm still very new to coding so I have no idea whatsoever what to do or how to go about it. Can anyone help me out please and thank you

Are you saying that they currently use IPB (The software) or that they have an SMF theme, based on IPB? (Not seen that one)
they're currently on invisionfree (IPB 1.3) and wanting to move to a site that is SMF 2.0.4
There're a few converters, here, Sarah:

They look like they're for IPB v2.x. But, there's "Invision to SMF 2-0", at the bottom, which may be a generic one. I'll ask someone to clarify that, for me.
i feel so stupid right now, i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing. Everything on here is new to me. We have no "archive" for the site i've been asked to figure out how to convert. I have only the coding from IF to try and work from. And i've never even heard of SMF until today, lol
The big problem's likely to be the "They want the same skin and everything" thing. SMF ain't IPB and there are quite a few differences.
Do they, whoever "They" are, really want to do this?
Obviously, I'd rather see people using SMF than IPB. But, I'd also hate to see someone suffer from making a giant fukkupTM.
yeah, they want everything as close as possible. "They" is the admin in charge. And yes, it's sure they want to move
(i've gotten the background image fixed, yay. now to figure everything else out XD)
OK. I'll let you know, when I get some confirmation of whether that converter's the one for the job. :)
Looks like you want this, Sarah:

Edited, ta. :)
Still completely lost on what all I need to do. Trying so hard but failing. Can't even get Tiny portal to install

yeah i've learned to back up a lot already. i can't figure out how to make that work
I believe you just upload it to the root for your forum site and navigate your browser to it.
What problem are you having with the portal?
wow, just saw this. took forever, but i've got almost everything working and looking right. only problem i'm having now is with the sub accounts mod. posted in the proper thread about that.
THANK YOU for helping me
Any time! :)
