Title: Converting to SMF
Post by: Rovin on October 28, 2007, 04:56:39 PM
I have been a SMF person a few months a go and I went to YaBB.
I now wanted to have PHP but I can't get throught the converter. I get half way throught the process and I get an error when converting boards and categories.

Converting boards and categories... Unsuccessful!
This query:

    ALTER TABLE `rovin_smf1`.smf_categories
    ADD tempID tinytext;

Caused the error:

    Duplicate column name 'tempID'


Thanks.

Hello, I know it's an old topic and sorry for the long delay, but I'd like to know: were you able to convert?

Nope. Sorry for the late reply. I am using SMF but a clean start, I would like to have my other forum (YaBB) posts/threads/members.

You are using the converter int he sticky right?  The issue with the duplicate column names don't occur with the one on the sticky.

I have YaBB 2.2, would this make a difference?

This conversion has paused to avoid overloading your server, and hence not working properly.
Don't worry though, nothing's wrong - simply click the continue button below to start the converter from where it left off.


EDIT: I seem to have got it to work, If I find any problems - I'll let you know, thanks for you help and time. :)

Let me know if you get other errors.  I believe that I fixed that undefined error.  Need to check and see.
