It was written for 3.2.x series.
You have to use the same user and password in db from IPB and SMF.

Thank you.

Then i need to install SMF in the same Database as IPB. I couldnt change DB-Username at my hoster or it is possible over Phpmyadmin?

Thanks again

Adrek

honestly I don't know, never tried it (I change users in DirectAdmin...), but if you make backup and IPB will have different table prefix than SMF tables there shouldn't be any problems ;)

problem with login
As I said somewhere this is not a problem that can be fixed by any converter: the password saved into the database is encrypted both on IPB side(I hope at least) and SMF side, most likely with two different methods.
Convert the password would mean: decrypt the IPB user's password and re-encrypt it in SMF.
The problem is: it's not possible to decrypt the password (well, it could be possible but it would take years for each password, I don't think you want to have a conversion that last 1 year for each of your members).
So this is not something that can be fixed.
Although if you know how IPB does the encryption you can copy the password too during the conversion and then write a sort of internal bridge that uses the IPB password and encryption method to log into SMF.
(I'm not going to code something similar, so if anyone wants to do it feel free).

it shows i got 23000 posts.though i never had such posts

It took a while...

Try these files, same procedure as the converter:
* upload both into SMF's directory
* point to convert.php (if it asks for a IPB config file just pu a dummy one in the same directory of SMF)
* start the procedure.

It should recount the users' posts.

I get this while trying to convert:

Duplicate entry '5844' for key 'PRIMARY'

Can this be solved in any way? I'm using latest converter in this topic, and ipb 3.2.3.

Thx in advance :)

emanuele

The only solution I found is to reduce the number of "things" (topics in that case) at each step.
Have a look at this post:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=477019.msg3342593#msg3342593
and instead of ---* {$to_prefix}pm_recipients search for ---* {$to_prefix}topics

That helped... But now i get to this part and I'm stuck:
"Recounting post counts... "

No errors are shown...

emanuele

Okay, I think I forgot to update the original package...
Can you try the instructions present in this post:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=477019.msg3349839#msg3349839
and see if it works?

If so I'll update the script.

What does this fix? When I have to apply it?

The file above was for ventic.

Letters in names are a problem, letters in the posts I didn't notice problems, but it could be I didn't actually see the error.
Are you using UTF8?

IPB is in ISO (latin1), SMF in UTF8.

But Polish characters can be easily fixed in Notepad++. Bigger problem are this broken emoticons links.
In IPB database it is saved as:
<img src='http://example.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/125.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
after conversion:
<img src=\\''http://example.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/125.gif\\'' class=\\''bbc_emoticon\\'' alt=\\'':)\\'' />

or links in signature (after finished conversion):

<p>[center][url=\\\\\\\"http://example.com\\\\\\\"][img]http://img803.imageshack.us/img803/4601/smfpluserbarv3.png[/img][/url]<br />

mmm...I'd avoid such conversion...
Try ISO => ISO and then convert SMF to UTF8 if you want to have it in UTF8.

This is really hopeless situation, there is no way to move this site to SMF :|

If so I'll update the script.

Just skipped those steps manually via adress bar (step=11, I just entered step=12, etc.). And all went rather well. Couldn't convert avatars, but that's just a small problem and not a big thing to me at all.

Anyway, I really appreciate your help and effort you put in this converter. Thank you (Y)

Adrek

I fixed emoticons with this query:
UPDATE `smf_messages` SET body = replace(`body`, '<img src=\\''http://example.pl/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/21.png\\'' class=\\''bbc_emoticon\\'' alt=\\'':21:\\'' />',':21:');

This needs to be done for each emoticon... I have more than 200 :)

the same thing for private messages, but don't know if wouldn't be better to change it into regular images (in img BBC)

Okay...looking again at the last file I posted, it seems I took the wrong file...

If you can wait few hours as soon as I'll be in front of the computer where I work on these things I'll post the correct file...

I'm so sorry for this mistake... :-[
