Fireboard to SMF

[Brane29]

Hi to all!
I have modified simpleboard to smf converter so it can work to convert fireboard to smf.
I know it is not so hard, but someone could have problems so I attach fireboard to smf converter.

Sory for my bad English.

Greetings from Croatia!

Thanks for your contribution. I'll respond to this to bump it up and maybe Orstio will see it and know what to do with it.

I currently have Fireboard installed but noone likes it because of the lack of Polls and other features which most people use. I would like to consider converting from Fireboard to SMF as I have seen these features used here that my members like.

Can you give a some indepth detail on how to go about doing the converstion and mention weither or not I will lose my current post?

Thanks,
James

I imagine the converter is just like any other. Read this:

Hi, and thanks for this converter, but i have a problem... seems that all is ok less the content of posts... appear something that this:


img width=][img width=][img width=][img width=][img width=][img width=][img width=][img width=][img width=][img width=][img width=][img width=]]http://www.[img width=]darqu[img width=]t[img width=]ctura.[img width=]nfo/co[img width=]pon[img width=]nt[img width=]/co[img width=]_f[img width=]r[img width=]board/upload[img width=]d/[img width=][img width=]a[img width=][img width=][img width=]/[img width=][img width=]lf[img width=]uf[img width=]c[img width=][img width=]nt[img width=][img width=][img width=].jp[img width=][/[img width=][img width=][img width=]][img width

Any solution?

Can someone advise where I should point this for FireBoard, I tried:

/www/www/forum/components/com_fireboard

I also tried:

/www/www/forum/administrator/components/com_fireboard

both come up saying it can't find the setting file for SimpleBoard.

Unable to find the settings for Simpleboard 1.0 and 1.1. Please double check the path and try again.

[miristilo]

I did the conversion with parent path of joomla, and all ok  less the content of posts... as you can see in previous post...

Try it, and please, if u can do the conversion, explain me¡ thanks

[hawker]

I got it working, realize my mistake, wrong path.

Anyway, I have the same problem as you. Be good to find a solution.

[gmbrdilos]

thanks for the converter but the posts come out as miristilo said they do
any solution to that?

[hawker]

I wonder if this data shows up in the database. Perhaps if we export the database, and remove [img width=] it'll work?

[hawker]

I can remove the img width crap out of the database, but it's just gibberish etc

I'd say it's something in this screwing us:

Same problem all categories good but the content is all ******, anyone got the bug resolved?

[gmbrdilos]

I could seriously use a working converter right now. Migrating my site to drupal and I dont want to use their forum module

[redone]

This was never an "official" converter in the first place therefore support for it seems limited to the original author who modded the Simpleboard one.

I am not saying you will not get support on this but you have to also understand that Fireboard is a relatively new software.

I understand that and thats why i test the converter in a development joomla/fireboard installation and not in the main site, but fireboard as easy to install and ready to use is ok, but is millions years from full production forums out there, i have many sites whit Vbulleting and IPB, but SMF seems the #1 option to integrate whit joomla CMS.

Sorry for my grammar, English is not my main language.

on my part, I am looking towards ditching joomla completely

I got it working. Don't know how. I thought it was buggy, but used the SMF admin to re-calculate posts etc and now it works fine!

I'm going to try it on my second site, and if it works again, I'll upload the modded version for people to try!

[Pacha]

BUt how, i keep getting all forums, members, titles post count fine but the messages text are all ****** up. What version of SMF and Fireboard are you using

[hawker]

Yep my modified files works fine. It errors at forum statistics, but you can recalculate that in SMF!

All my software is the latest
