When it's done. This version should be able to convert your phpBB 3 forum to SMF 1.1 though.

I just tried to convert from my phpBB3 installation (used same db and username to make it easier) and it fails on the converting groups step (step #2).

I get this error:

Converting ranks... Successful.
Converting groups...Unknown column 'group_single_user' in 'where clause'

I even made sure to choose UTF-8.

Hi,

I've been wanting to convert a php3 board to SMF FOREVER.  Thank you for this converter!!!

It didn't fully work though.  It imported all users it seems and they can login properly.  Avatars and signatures are correct, profiles information.... The number of topics and posts are exactly the same thank goodness.... BUT lots of the actual posts are missing.  There are over 49,000 messages on the board and the count is right but many categories show posts starting at year 2007 and older.

At the end of the conversion I got a page full of this:(snippet)

Notice: Undefined index: convert_script in /home/porsche1/public_html/convert.php on line 791

Any suggestions?

Ok, so far this is all very awesome software. Was able to convert PHPBB3 to SMF, made the edits in the code, but it's still telling me that user passwords are incorrect (or that they can't be retrieved). Where should I start?

[JayBachatero]

You made the change that I suggested above?  Also did you upgrade to phpBB3 from phpBB3?

It was PHPBB2 that I upgraded to their "gold" release. Per your other comment, the first three characters in the hash are $H$

[fak3]

ok here are my newbie questions
i just converted my phpbb3 board to smf and the script provided worked fine, but:
1. i can't login with my old password and i already changed LogInOut.php as suggested in the first post
2. not all members were imported (??)
3. hxxp:img89.imageshack.us/img89/4792/immaginepk3.jpg [nonactive] i found this 'edit message' in every post

what can i do? thanks in advance

Post your LogInOut.php file.

Did you try reconverting again?  Also was this an upgrade from phpBB2?

[fak3]

first thanks for the answer, and yes i tried reconverting again but nothing changed
my phpbb3 was an upgrade from phpbb2

If you'd like I can take a look at this for you and see what is going on.

Is there a chance that the problem is coming from the fact that both of us are having the same problem, and both of us had PHPBB2 then upgraded to PHPBB3?

I doubt this would change anything although there is a very small chance that this could be the case

Actually yes.  phpBB2 and phpBB3 use different hashing methods for the passwords.  Also I noticed that different versions of PHP can produce different hashes.  I need to look into that one again though and see if it can be fixed.

Hey, just wondering, which version of the converter do we use? The one on the first post, or on page 2?

Thanks
