Hi oldies.

Could it be possible to update the converter for phpbb 2.0.22 with category hierarchy 2.1.6d please? (that's the last stable version available...)

you can find a preinstalled version here to test:

http://ptifo.clanmckeen.com/download/cat-categories_hierarchy_v2.1.6/cat-_installation/mod-CH_216_installed.zip

it will be a great thing for me, thanks for advance if you can...

Sure, I can update it for you. Can you send me a database dump?

Try this one. I fixed the "f.auth_read" issue, and I think I've fixed the other one as well, although I'm not sure.

I'm running phpbb 2.0.21 with categories hierarchy 2.1.6   I installed smf 1.1.2 and tried running the converter from the quoted post.  This resulted in a quite a lengthy list of errors (attached).  The end result was no transfer of any information.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you.

I don't understand, I'm trying to upgrade my forums to SMF...

GravuTrad

yes, but last version of phpbb premodded ch is phpbb 2.0.22 with ch 2.1.6d, not 2.0.21....

it will be better to oldiesmann to work on the last version...

That's not going to make any difference GravuTrad - there were no database changes from 2.0.21 to 2.0.22 (or at least nothing significant enough that it would break the converter).

Let me go download the latest version of that hack and see what I can come up with.

Can you try this one to see if it works at all?

This was the most recent version of the converter, except I changed something that (I think) will make the part that updates ID_PARENT, ID_CAT, etc. work properly.

As far as I can tell, the structure and setup of the "forums" table in phpBB hasn't changed at all in this version of the categories hierarchy mod.

EDIT: Keep reading for the current version of this converter...

seems to be good, only some permissions sections are not well ok (not well configured, some sections are seen instead of they were not to be seen by certains groups and the inverse, maybe it's adjustable in your script? i don't know...) but if we reconfiguring it, it will be ok.

you can retire the term "older" of your version script lol....

Try this.

Yay!  Appears to have worked perfectly!  My hero!

Hmm, one question though.  Does my forums database now require BOTH the SMF tables AND the phpbb tables, or can I safely delete one set or the other?

Try this.
Worked just WONDERFUL!

Everything seems perfect to me with just one exception: Attachments.

My PhpBB + CH 2.1.6d has Attachments Mod installed (the one adapted by ptirhiik for using on CH mod - Link here http://ptifo.clanmckeen.com/download.php?pack=6 ), the conversion programs says it's all ok, Attachments have been ported, but checking in the posts or in Administrative interface, I have NO attachments transferred to my SMF board.

Can you help me to adapt your script to manage Attach mod for CH?
Have I miss to do something in my conversion?

Oldiesmann

I will look at it in a bit and see what I can find. That converter is based on the one for SMF 1.1 RC3, so I will compare it with the current phpBB converter and see what I can find. I'll also modify the current phpBB converter to include the changes in this one and add it to the downloads page so other people can find it easier. Glad to know it worked properly though :)

While waiting for replies, I tried to work out with something by myself.
I have no experience with SMF (I am currently using a heavily modded phpbb+CH2.1.6d on my board, but I'm writing here 'cause I WILL pass to SMF), but I tried to understand how the conversion script works.
So I opened yours and tried to modify.
I succeeded to transfer attachments but I have no idea on how create thumbnails of attached images (I NEED to do this).

Anyway, here's the code. Please feel free to comment and/or delete :D
/* MARCO */

$result = convert_query("
SHOW TABLES FROM " . preg_replace('~`\..*$~', '', $from_prefix) . "`
LIKE '%_att_%'");
list ($tableExists) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
mysql_free_result($result);

// Doesn't exist?
if (!$tableExists)
return;


if (!isset($ID_ATTACH))
{
$result = convert_query("
SELECT MAX(ID_ATTACH) + 1
FROM {$to_prefix}attachments");
list ($ID_ATTACH) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
mysql_free_result($result);

$result = convert_query("
SELECT value
FROM {$to_prefix}settings
WHERE variable = 'attachmentUploadDir'
LIMIT 1");
list ($attachmentUploadDir) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
mysql_free_result($result);

// Get the original path... we'll copy it over for them!
$result = convert_query("
SELECT config_value
FROM {$from_prefix}att_config
WHERE config_name = 'upload_dir'
LIMIT 1");
list ($oldAttachmentDir) = mysql_fetch_row($result);
mysql_free_result($result);

if (substr($oldAttachmentDir, 0, 2) == '..')
$oldAttachmentDir = $_POST['path_from'] . '/' . $oldAttachmentDir;
elseif (substr($oldAttachmentDir, 0, 1) != '/')
$oldAttachmentDir = $_POST['path_from'] . '/' . $oldAttachmentDir;
if (empty($oldAttachmentDir) || !file_exists($oldAttachmentDir))
$oldAttachmentDir = $_POST['path_from'] . '/files';
}

if (empty($ID_ATTACH))
$ID_ATTACH = 1;

while (true)
{
pastTime($substep);


There is only one thing left: in phpbb it is possible to comment any attachments using a specific field in db table. I use it to enter Copyright notices. I have no idea how to migrate that infos.

Any ideas?

to all people, well look for images to your ftp between the two after conversion, to keep well all the images, like smilies, avatars etc...
