I am getting following error while converting:

Try opening the .sql file and search for:

Are you sure you're using MyBB 1.6? Those rows were added in that version. Please try to upgrade.
Sorry Red...!! I As you rightly mentioned..I was using the wrong sql file...Now I got it all right..converted everything successfully but only one thing not working.
FYI,
www.asli-indian.com is my old forum it has around 87 members.
www.asli-indian.com/forum is my converted forum but not showing stats properly. Though all the members are there in the member list of admin panel.

Try recalculating all the stats from your admin panel, that should do it.
Thanks Red...fixed it !! :D
One last doubt...now the converted forum is under /forum as I have mentioned in my last post. Is it better to keep it as is and point my old domain www.asli-indian.com to www.asli-indian.com/forum or is there any way I can move the files and delete mybb. ?
Sorry if my english is bad..I hope you got what I am trying to say.
You need to move the files of SMF to the other directory, and use the repair_settings to change all the paths, if you can't you can ask for support in the Support Boards as that isn't related anymore with the converter :)
ok no problem Devil ;D thanks for your fantastic support...

Then I'm lost.
Maybe the other convertor package will work...then you can use the upgrade files from the 1.1 series or the 2.0 series to upgrade to the result you want.
I'm using MyBB 1.6 forums then the MyBB 1,6 sql file n converter.php
Could you link me to one that would work with MyBB 1.6 forums.. I tried so many. not sure which is the right n wrong.

Converting members...Wrong value type sent to the database. Date expected. (birthdate)
Can you please login in phpmyadmin, and run the following query:
SELECT birthday from [your_mybb_tables_prefix]users;
(please replace with your actual MyBB tables prefix.)
And attach the result here, or send to me in a PM?
Please note that it will display all the birth dates stored in your MyBB database (with no other user data or anything, only birth dates). If you are not comfortable with that, feel free not to.
SELECT birthday
FROM mybb_users;
LIMIT 0 , 30
When you executed that query, below it, on the page, phpmyadmin must have displayed the result. Could you please tell which are they?
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '[mybb_users]users LIMIT 0, 30' at line 1
If your prefix is "mybb_", then please replace in the query "mybb_users", that is, please run:
SELECT birthday
FROM mybb_users;
It depends on what your actual prefix is - if you really have a table named "mybb_users" or it is named something else ending with "users".
yes my table is mybb_users
Then please use the query:
SELECT birthday
FROM mybb_users;
there are too many records to display
Affichage des enregistrements 0 - 29 (2 473 total, Traitement en 0.0002 sec.)
Please, use the attached mybb16_to_smf.sql file instead.
Also, please upload the attached file in your Sources/Subs-Db-mysql.php. It would be best if you made a copy of your current Sources/Subs-Db-mysql.php file, and keep it. Then replace your file with the attached one.
Converting members...Wrong value type sent to the database. Date expected. (birthdate) O:)
Oops.
Are you sure the new files are in the right directories? mybb16_to_smf.sql should be uploaded to SMF main directory, overwriting your previous file, and Subs-Db-mysql.php should be uploaded in your Sources directory.
Yes
I can't replicate it anymore. I used your dates in my test forum, got the same error, and have it fixed using these changes.
Can you please make sure that the file Subs-Db-mysql.php was indeed overwritten by your FTP client? Sometimes they may not overwrite all existing files. Same for the other.
Maybe it would be useful if you download them to check.
Also, can you please make sure you restart the conversion process completely, from running convert.php without any parameter in the URL, just http://your_smf_address/convert.php
Yes

I stuck at the first step. :-\
Can you please try using this file instead then?
always block with the same message
Converting...
Converting members...Wrong value type sent to the database. Date expected. (birthdate)
The cause is a stray date in the MyBB database, which is "1-1-" instead of "" or "1-1-1980" or whatever other proper date. But these changes in the files should address it... :(
Could you eventually try this:
- backup your MyBB database
- then run the following SQL statement on it:
UPDATE `mybb_users`
SET `birthday` = ""
WHERE LENGTH(birthday) < 8
still not working
Bruno36,
in mybb16_to_smf.sql find:
---* {$to_prefix}members
add after:
---{
/* fix invalid birthdates */
if(!preg_match('/\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}/', $row['birthdate']))

---}
then restart the conversion.
thank you its works ;)
I have another problem I have a new error message

Those aren't part of the converter at the moment, sorry about that, I'll try to do it.
I could have used this about a month ago lol. But thanks for the converter i have some freinds that are reluctanct to swich to smf from mybb without a converter now they have no reason to stay on mybb.
Is there a converter for SMF2.0 RC4?

Holy sh... Cow. Worked at first try, amazing. Converted everything, topics, members, posts, just as it should. Thank you, so much.
Also, wouldn't make it without Norv's idea for installing both SMF and MyBB in the same database. [I was getting the user table error]
Happy 2011 people.
Glad that it worked at your first try, TheRealCod3r! Not many converters have managed to do that ;)

Trying to convert MyBB 1.6.0 to SMF 2.0RC5 (since the older version, 2.0RC4, can't be found).
Edit: Well, nevermind, I just deleted all birth dates from MyBB and then it worked ;)
Forgive me if this has already been addressed somewhere. (I searched to see if this was listed somewhere else on the forum and I couldn't find it.)
I'm converting from MyBB 1.6.2 to SMF 2.0 RC5. I got the birthdate error, which led to me deleting the birthdays to get past it. That worked. When it was importing the topics, it gave me this error:

Hello !
First, thanks you very much for this converter, but I'm having some problems using it. I had to fix the birthday bug though.
It's working, at first, because I can see all my members ( 4 659 ) in the member list and in the database, the passwords are working, I even get the Categories/Forum structures with the numbers of Posts and thread inside, but that's all, after letting the script running for one hour I stopped it.
Note: I have +20k of posts inside the forum to convert.
It's freezing at Converting topics.
Can you help me :) ?

Here is the correct, 100% working, file for converting mybb 1.6.x to SMF 2.0
If you have a problem like slash before quotes ie: dog\'s in boards, Use that queries:

UPDATE smf_boards SET name = REPLACE(name, '\\', '') WHERE name LIKE "%\\\\%";

Hello,
I've been trying to convert my forum as after a ton of issues from my last host and trying to get all the data I'm finally at the stage where I want to run the conversion tool. Unfortunately it keeps timing out after the initial page where it asks you for the information. It doesn't have a chance to get past step1.
At first I thought it was my firewall so I added some exceptions to see if that helped. It didn't and so I decided to use a USB modem which would bypass the firewall entirely (its built in the the network prior to my PC) but it still had the same problem.
At times it will come back saying that it had a Read Timeout.
Anyone able to help or give any suggestions?
EDIT: And or course, as soon as I post it gets past that part but times out when it pauses to stop it overloading. Now its timing out at the:
convert.php?step=1&substep=1&start=13500
section.
I'm getting

So it's taking timeout and datline coloumns, which are bigint(30) and appear to be unix timestamps. I have no idea why it is failing as the entry's clearly are int's
example dateline
1094083328
example timeout
1094083328

is this the right mod where i'm going to upload myBB database to SMF database?
I have a myBB database and I wanted it merge to my existing SMF database. Can someone point me to the right direction? Thanks in advance
I have this error
Unsuccessful!
This query:

I'm geting this error

anyone know the fix, I have seen people post the same error but never get a reply.
Well, the error seems fairly clear: you've set up MyBB in a database and it has a username and a password. SMF has a username and a password but you've put it in a different database and the username and password SMF has can't get to the MyBB database... so there's no way SMF can import it.
Install SMF into the same database with the same user and password as MyBB is currently installed in (using smf_ as the prefix to avoid collision) and then it'll work.
This is the same error everyone else has and is the same error as the very first entry in http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=146192.0 and it's also mentioned in http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Converting
Thanks arantor i sort of did that but did it the other way round and had to set the mybb database config to the smf data base but then i get the birthday error.
Hi,
I am trying to convert from mybb 1.6 to smf and i am facing these issues. Can someone help me here
Converting members...Wrong value type sent to the database. Date expected. (birthdate)
Then i did this
Code: [Select]

add after:
Code: [Select]
---{

if(!preg_match('/\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}/', $row['birthdate']))
$row['birthdate'] = '0001-01-01';

Then also i am getting the same error message

hi,
Does anyone convert mybb 1.6.7 to SMF 2.0.x?
thanks
If you go to mybb converters download the bottom one that says mybb to smf 2-0
Here is the link http://download.simplemachines.org/?converters;software=mybb
I have used this several times without errors.
Hi
I have the following error, trying to convert from Mybb 1.6.9:
Converting posts (this may take some time)...The database value you're trying to insert does not exist: poster_email
Is there an updated .sql file that would work better?
Thanks!
Are you using the converter from the downloads page?
Hi
Thanks for your answer.
I'm using the third one (mybb to smf) - with the default .sql file it doesn't detect the database prefix and can't read any table, (error: Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of MyBulletinBoard 1.0. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the Database account used does not have permissions to access it.The error that was received from the Database was: SELECT command denied to user 'dev'@'localhost' for table 'users') - with the latest .sql file given in this thread everything goes fine until I have this error message. "The database value you're trying to insert does not exist: poster_email"...
If I change the .inc/config related line in the .sql file given on the download page, with "---~ from_prefix: "`{$config['database']['database']}`.{$config['database']['table_prefix']}"" I can start the script but then I have several mysql errors.
Attachment is the .sql file that did work for me.
Hope it can help someone :)
Thanks bobmail for the sharing from your mysql convert file ;D

please help me
Which converter are you using? The one from the downloads page or the one from this topic? You should use the one from the downloads page.
Is your MyBB 1.6?
Also, check this tip here:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=404303.msg2877724#msg2877724
I am having issues with the birthday field mainly because my myBB version I am converting from had bad birthdays because the conversion from the other board software to myBB botched the birthday data. While some users have them, a lot of users have the field totally blank.
Is there any way to get the conversion script to skip the b-day field or run some sort of SQL query to insert a valid date if the field is blank?
Best way is really to just have no values inserted --> no one has birthdate.
It worked perfect for me :).

I have a mybb 1.6.15 I no longer wish to update or upgrade.
I wish to convert over to smf, I am familiar with smf forums to begin with..
What is the first step, use a test board first then go for the real thing..
I am going to need help on this, because I am not the brainiest guy around..

Hello, I'm glad to help

Hi guys,
While trying to convert a really big forum (1.5gb database size) I ran into issues during conversion of threads table. The particular select query in the sql file that was causing problems was this:
SELECT
t.tid AS id_topic, t.fid AS id_board, t.sticky AS is_sticky,
t.poll AS id_poll, t.views AS num_views, IFNULL(t.uid, 0) AS id_member_started,
IFNULL(ul.uid, 0) AS id_member_updated, t.replies AS num_replies,
CASE
WHEN (t.closed = '1') THEN 1
ELSE 0
END AS locked,
MIN(p.pid) AS id_first_msg, MAX(p.pid) AS id_last_msg
FROM {$from_prefix}threads AS t
INNER JOIN {$from_prefix}posts AS p
LEFT JOIN {$from_prefix}users AS ul ON (BINARY ul.username = t.lastposter)
WHERE p.tid = t.tid
GROUP BY t.tid
HAVING id_first_msg != 0
AND id_last_msg != 0;
Turns out the INNER JOIN in this absolutely chokes out on a big table to the point where it can't even return 1 row in a reasonable amount of time. I rewrote the select query for that particular conversion step to the following:
SELECT
t.tid AS id_topic, t.fid AS id_board, t.sticky AS is_sticky,
t.poll AS id_poll, t.views AS num_views, IFNULL(t.uid, 0) AS id_member_started,
IFNULL(ul.uid, 0) AS id_member_updated, t.replies AS num_replies,
IF(t.closed = '1', 1, 0) AS locked,
(SELECT MIN(p.pid) FROM {$from_prefix}posts AS p WHERE p.tid = t.tid LIMIT 1) AS id_first_msg,
(SELECT MAX(p.pid) FROM {$from_prefix}posts AS p WHERE p.tid = t.tid LIMIT 1) AS id_last_msg
FROM {$from_prefix}threads AS t
LEFT JOIN {$from_prefix}users AS ul ON (ul.username = t.lastposter)
HAVING id_first_msg != 0 AND id_last_msg != 0;
Time taken to complete this query is reduced by orders of magnitude due to MySQL optimiser now not ignoring the indexes. The BINARY statement on the ul.username made indexes not be used on the users table (which was a big problem), and the INNER JOIN with GROUP BY clause on the posts table ignored indexes as well (which was an even bigger problem). Hope it helps somebody.
Hey,
is there an importer for MyBB 1.8 ?
greets
Not a dedicated one no. But, as far as we know, the 1.6 converter works fine with minor tweaks. You should get an error like this:
Unknown column 'msn' in 'field list'
You should just remove the mentioned field from the conversion and it should work for the remaining parts ;)

Where can i delet this ? :$
In the .sql file (I'm sorry but I'm typing from my phone...)
I cant find this in the .sql File o.O
you are using the files attached in the first post?
in the sql there is
SUBSTRING(yahoo, 1, 32) AS yim, SUBSTRING(msn, 1, 255) AS msn,
remove the second part of that line.
Thx. It works.
Now i have an other error :
