Hi Everyone,

Firstly, a very big thanks for the help that you guys are clearly giving everyone.
I've tried the standard files, with a database error, and now found these threads with new files... With excitement I downloaded them, reinstalled a fresh version of the forums (as I saw this was a good idea in the various posts) and downloaded the new files... However, the only converter that works is the original one I downloaded from the web site (the one with the error).. All the other convert.php and yabb_to_smf.php files give an error.  I tried different combination and nothing works...

Here is the error I'm getting:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/3199/domains/domain.com/html/smf/yabb_to_smf.php on line 1

Would love some assistance.. It's really important for me to be able to convert this very large yabb forum into something a little bit better, and I think this forum would be perfect.

Thanks!

Al

Notice: Undefined index: latestRealName in /home/ravensho/public_html/forum/convert.php on line 1089

or are you getting a different one now?

[ShawnD]

Hi Im not getting any errors, now the conversion seems to go well , with the little message at the end, but when you look at the forum the posts and catagories are there, Images and attacthments are not and there are no members, Including myself , So I cant Log in...

Any help would be really appreciated...

Kind Regards

Shawn

thanks for your reply  planning to migrate from YaBB2.1 to SMF1.13

[SleePy]

Can you post how you fixed the issues. They may help somebody in the future or it may be a bug in the script that we may have to fix.

My only guess about members being guests is that it wasn't able to match up their IDs to anything in the members table.

[yeop]

For date registered is not converted , i just follow posting given by the members

If I remember correctly I fixed this a while ago and posted the converter in of the pages of this topic and not in the main page.  I'll look into it.

Hello,
I have installed a fresh copy of SMF 1.1.3. It works fine!
But I would like to import my YABB-21 forum.
I use convertor from 1st posting in this thread. Nothing works. I get the following error-output. I am sure that path to YABB-21 is correct!

Read your first error, it explains it:
