Have any of you ever seen this?

Try to do forgot your password. Yes it doesn't solve other users but can see if you can get in that way first.

[chaos40]

No dice

[vbgamer45]

Didn't get the email? or didn't work after resetting.

[chaos40]

Didn't get the email -- probably because I didn't set all that up on the new smf forum prior to converting

I can however register a new user manually

is there a way I can go into the database directly and make the user I just registered an admin?

[vbgamer45]

Yes there is just change the id_group = 1 where that member id/username

[chaos40]

Im in as an admin now with the new user I registered

[chaos40]

Is there anything I can do to get my users working without having to use the forgot password function?

thanks

If you are logged in as admin, you should be able to just change the password for your earlier account. No problem.

[vbgamer45]

Yeah.. otherwise you have to see if you can find code to do it.

Haven't found anything in google searches so far

SMF has function phpBB3_password_check  but I believe that is for 3.0 only.

Interestingly enough the 33 converter did not work but the 32 converter did

I suspect this site was upgraded from older versions to this latest one

[chaos40]

SO now the conversion completed successfully.. mostly

but every post has a last edit by guest line and quotes have strike through lines

any way to get rid of that?

[chaos40]

I finished the conversion. looks pretty good

can I post a link to the board on this forum?

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

If you want to show a succesful conversion in this topic, I'd say it's fine. Usually if it's related to the support topic it is allowed.

Password security has recently been upgraded. Please enter your password again.

I had the same issue with a forum I migrated a couple of years ago so (ie, users need to enter their password a second time) so I changed the message in '/Themes/default/languages/Login.english.php' to:

Code Select Expand

$txt['login_hash_error'] = '<b>Password security has recently been upgraded.<br />Please wait 5 seconds and then enter your password again.</b>';
This way the users know they need to try again after waiting a few seconds ...

thanks bud!

The board named Blue Cashew Archive is a link to the php version of the board. I did that so that users have the option of logging into the old forum to alert me to the fact that they have difficulty with the reset process

It looks nice indeed. Welcome to Smf.

I am going to mark this topic as solved seeing the fact that your conversion was successfully finished.

PHPBB was very difficult to navigate and lacked many of the features which are bundled with SMF by default or at least with the addition of mods

thanks for all your help guys!

[Antechinus]

phpBB has its good points and bad points, like anything else. Some aspects of it I like better than SMF. Others I don't. Overall I would prefer SMF, but with some good ideas nicked from other places.

[chaos40]

Hey Guys,

if you quickly needed to add about 500+ users to a group to give proper access to all areas of your board how would you do it?

is there an SQL query I can run or something like that?

thanks

Now I'm battling DMARC issues -- you'd think I would have thought of that BEFORE swinging the site over since the entire success of all the users hinges on being able to receive password reset emails

any quick help would be most appreciated! On the sql thing..

[chaos40]

Nevermind. I found a post which had the syntax for the query that needs to be run
