Title: Need PHPBB converter (phpBB 2.0.19)....
Post by: Twig on April 10, 2006, 11:33:02 AM
SMF Version: SMF 1.1 RC2
None that I try work. I always get errors regarding some peoples avatar images during the conversion, then theres something about fetching something (sorry so vague). Both being MySQL errors.
What is the current working PHPBB converter(to SMF 1.1 RC2)?

I need a phpbb 2.0.19 to smf 1.1rc2 as well. Mine won't convert at all. I posted about this in the 1.1 Converters topic thread as well.

The newest converter I could find any mention of deals with 2.0.18 phpbb.

I've converted from 2.0.19 to RC2 using the converter given in 1.1 converter topic. What errors are given to you?

Sorry Mystique - that link is not the solution for us. Glad it worked for you though.

Do you have any hacks installed on the phpBB board? If so you'll probably need to uninstall them before the converter will work properly. If you don't want to do that, we can probably modify the converter to work with your particular situation if you can give us the following info:
