Worked great! It hung a little at the end when it was cleaning installation. But otherwise works fine. Only thing that didn't transfer over were the pm's. but i don't mind. (They needed to be cleaned up anyway.) and Post count based groups Required posts reset to 0 but that was a 5 minute fix

Once it finished i ran "Find and repair any errors." "Recount all forum totals and statistics." in Forum Maintenance. and everything important transfer d over.
(members, post, member groups, boards and posts)

Just wanted to say thank you. Yabb was great for a long time. But its was defiantly time to upgrade. it came down to smf or phpbb. You pretty much know who won that. =)

Yea I was told pms where not converting.

Required posts for what? To be in the post count group?

Edit, I think I fixed the pms not converting if you want to try it again. Although it sounds like you are happy with them not converting

dontshoot · « **Reply #162 on:** September 19, 2008, 03:42:48 AM »

yeah i dont mind the pm's being wiped. i glad it was. maybe you should keep that as a optional download for people that what the pm's wiped.

What i was talking about the form rank. Like 0 post = Newbie. 50 post = whatever then 100 posts and so on. They all were rest to 0 posts. but it took me only a few minutes to fix it.

thanks again.

now i gotta find out why SimplePortal blocks are all weird sizes in ie but fine in firefox.

Do you have a sample membergroups.txt file I can look at? This files is in the vars directory. You can send it how ever

I did update the yabb 2.2 beta topic btw.
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=249777

So anyone wanting to try the yabb 2.2 converter is welcome

dontshoot · « **Reply #164 on:** September 21, 2008, 06:04:33 PM »

sure, no problem. ill pm it to you.

SleePy · « **Reply #165 on:** September 22, 2008, 12:16:59 AM »

Ok thanks. I believe it is now fixed in my sources

Seems like it wasn't using the right match string to get the post group info.

AzJose · « **Reply #166 on:** September 22, 2008, 08:38:22 PM »

When I run the yabb22_to_smf.php I get nothing back, just a blank screen.

I have both the convert.php and yabb22_to_smf.php in the /smf folder

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Updated Converters List & Support Topics

Have you tried using the convert.php from that file.

AzJose · « **Reply #168 on:** September 22, 2008, 11:04:01 PM »

Ok, I got the one on the very bottom, I was using the one in the zip.

Gonna search out some more, but now I get this..

Converting...
Unsuccessful!
This query:
CREATE TABLE `db_atr_joomla`.smf_convert (

ThorstenE · « **Reply #169 on:** September 23, 2008, 01:18:46 AM »

which MySQL version are you using? this error appears when trying to convert with UTF-8 as character set and using MySQL 4.0 or earlier versions (they don't support UTF-8)..

try converting your forum without UTF-8

AzJose · « **Reply #170 on:** September 23, 2008, 01:36:54 AM »

Yes, the SQL is 4.0.21

When the convert loads, I fill in the paths and sql password. I leave the default character set to ISO-8859-1. And I still get the same error. Is there something in the php files I need to tweak?

ThorstenE · « **Reply #171 on:** September 23, 2008, 01:50:21 AM »

edit the yabb22_to_smf.php and find

Code: [Select]

) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci");replace it with

Code: [Select]

)");then save the file and restart the conversion.

AzJose · « **Reply #172 on:** September 23, 2008, 02:19:45 AM »

I must be going blind, I cannot find that bit of code at all.

Ok, I am blind, there was another version of the yabb2_to_smf.php I found in the forums. Fixed that.

Now I get another issue. Guess I am just a problem child.

BTW I am using yabb 2.2.2 so dunno if that is gonna make an issue as well.

Successful.

SleePy · « **Reply #173 on:** September 23, 2008, 02:39:33 PM »

Which file did you find?
Which file where using? I am guessing the beta version of the yabb 2.2 converter that is released on this board?

AzJose · « **Reply #174 on:** September 24, 2008, 10:06:44 AM »

Yes. Using the ones that you guys have lead me towards. Could the 2.2.2 version of yabb I have be causing issues?

SleePy · « **Reply #175 on:** September 24, 2008, 02:32:56 PM »

Does this one work then?

AzJose · « **Reply #176 on:** September 24, 2008, 03:00:44 PM »

Alright then, This one should hopefully work. If not then something else has gone amiss.

AzJose · « **Reply #178 on:** September 24, 2008, 03:40:46 PM »

Where is the beer/cheers smiley??

Hi,

its been a longer time after the last posts in this tread. Now I read all of them and did not find my problem. Here it comes:

trying to convert YaBB 2.2.1 to SMF 1.1.0
is converting like hell for messages
then he´s putting out some error messages for unsuccessful boards and categories (and he´s not converting them)
finally he is accumulating 1.2 GB+ in the attachments folder. in my yabb-attachments-folders are just 11 MB (!)

Those are my error messages:

I also had a look at the newly filled smf attachment folder. Those 1.2 GB (19000+ files!) look like included pictures which are just embedded from external servers. They should stay there.

I appreciate any comments.
