Hey all.
I downloaded converter from YaBB 2.1 to SMF.
I have convert.php and yabb21_to_smf.php
Where do I put them, and how do I runt them?
Get the yabb21_to_smf.php converter from here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=122338.0). Then upload both files to your smf install and point your browser to http://yoursite.com/forum/convert.php.

Successful.
Converting members... Unsuccessful!
This query:
ALTER TABLE `ryphtnet_websitedata1`.smf_members
DROP PRIMARY KEY,
CHANGE COLUMN ID_MEMBER ID_MEMBER mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default 0;
Caused the error:
Can't DROP 'PRIMARY'; check that column/key exists
? :o
Umm did you use the converter on the page that I gave you? I linked you to another converter.
I got the one from main download page.. I didn't find the link on your post.
Oh.. also.. Does my new SMF forum have to use same database as YaBB2.1? or it can use different database??
Now I get this....... I used your link.

Need to do a fresh install of SMF.
cool. now every thing worked..
Ok.. now I have my original forums at www.mysite.com/forums
and new forum (SMF) at www.mysite.com/rypht
how do I make so that new forum will be at www.mysite.com/forums (I will move the old files of other forum)..
Rename the rypht dir to forums and use repair_settings.php to fix the paths.
What is repair_settings.php? (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=18096.0)
ok.. every thing seem to be working. but "users online" don't show right info correctly...
What does it show?
It works fine now...
But post count not work properly now. For example... When I post or some one else do post.. It doesn't know any thing in post count.
There some new users today.. and they have posted at list 2 times.. but their post count is still 0...
is there some set up in admin panel or forum doing some thing wrong?
Try doing a recount of stats. Also please don't bump a topic in less than 24 hours.
How do I do this?
Admin > Forum Maintenance > Recount stats.
Hmm.. Still same problem...
Did you do a check for errors also?
yes... It found like 50 and it fixed them.
Can you link me to your forum?

here...
Test account please.
just basic account?

Ok check the boards to see if you disabled the counting of posts for the boards.
Although kdar never replied, I can confirm that the problem with my post count not increasing on my forums was that after the conversion the box 'count posts' from this board was unchecked.
