[SMF Converter] XOOPS & newBB 2

[macmend]

I wonder how it would work to convert it back, my problem is that I wanted smf in my xoops site, but the smf bridge module is terrible and now I am stuck with smf and only tinyportal. whereas I want a xoops wrap.  So I need to convert smf back to cbb/newbb

youll need to contact the folks that make cbb/newbb regarding that.

Hi all,
I can't convert a XOOPS + newbb 2 database in SMF one. I got many errors. Because I need to only convert users, how to do it? The problem is how to convert the MD5 password from xoops in MD5 for SMF cause they don't use the same MD5 algorithm.
Thanks bye

What errors do you get?

One of the nice hidden features of SMF is its ability to attempt to figure out old or other software password hashing methods and then convert it to its own.
If the XOOPS & newBB2 are just using md5(password), then SMF will be able to convert that without you needing to edit anything. If it can't, we just need to figure out how the password conversion is done and then edit the LogInOut.php to have that new method.

Not sure if this is the right forum place to post but i'm working on converting xoops newbb to smf and i cannot find the settings.php for /modules/newbb file.. to convert

which version of newBB is it? the pathes in convert.php must be absolute pathes,
example: /home/www/user/public_html/xoops

Hi, I'm using xoops_to_smf converter, everything completes without error, but after the convert is done, the boards table is still empty. The categories and topics are there though.

Note : I had to do some mods to the sql file in the members section because my version of newbb uses a "user_profile" table for data such as icq and url.

any errors during the conversion? maybe this converter helps (newBB3/CBB):

Odd, I was sure I was running newBB, but it seems to be working now, Thanks
