[SMF Converter] phpBB3

[iain sherriff]

fallen at the first hurdle 

Smf installled   ok
Login fix installed   ok
convert.php says it cant find smf....................

my server has multiple domains on it.

uklows.com is my main account and SMF is in a folder /smf [uklows.com/smf]
I have convert.php and the sql file in the same folder [/smf] as i loaded the smf files to.

my phpbb3 board is at lowriderforums.com/forum. This domain is on the uklows server................. have to admit i'm not 100% sure on the terminology here so i've done a screen dump to show the relation



In the converter I had the path to SMF as /smf
and
the path to phpbb3 as
/lowriderforums.com/forum


is that right please ?

[ThorstenE]

the pathes must be absolute pathes

/home/uklows/public_html/smf (for SMF)
/home/uklows/public_html/lowriderforums.com/forum (for phpbb3)

thank you ................................

[from reading the rest of this topic I may be back with more ?'s !]

[iain sherriff]

next prob was that the host had openbase_dir enabled. they have altered that and now I get this message frolm the converter

Caused the error:

Duplicate entry '15-128' for key 1


It looks like my posts have converted but I cant log in to check anything else. says I dont exist.

[iain sherriff]

tried saying i had lost my password and it sent me an email as ,so i could log in but not as an admin.
realised why looking at the members list.
my admin username on the phpbb3 was part of a group, the converter had converted "registered users" but NOT the group. I was also registered as "admin" with the same e-mail address but that user did not have admin powers.

I have deleted the SMF now as i realised that some of the posts copied where in a closed forum [which was now public] but as i could not admin I couldnt change the permissions.

So when I try again I could change the members to all be in "registered users".

What do I do about the PM message above?

thanks

[ThorstenE]

please try the attached version, the pm error should be fixed then.

you can use phpMyAdmin to restore  the missing admin access:

go to the SQL-Window in phpMyAdmin and execute the following query:

Code Select Expand

UPDATE smf_members SET ID_GROUP = 1 WHERE emailAddress = '[email protected]';

replace smf_ with your prefix and [email protected] with your users mail address..

[iain sherriff]

thanks.
that all worked a treat in the end.

need to sort out theme and gallery now before  final transfer 

[still had to put all members in the main group................ is that normal? ]

[tvon]

Still - None of my users are being converted.  Everything seems to convert okay but no users are there.   Any help/ideas?

[SleePy]

sherriff,

There isn't a regular member group by default in SMF it is just assumed if you are not a guest you are a regular member at least.

tvon,
Did you get any errors during the conversion?

[iain sherriff]

sherriff,
There isn't a regular member group by default in SMF it is just assumed if you are not a guest you are a regular member at least.

Thats fine, thanks.
I just put everyone in the main group before converting and then created my new group and rearranged everyone after. No problem.
The conversion was flawless and very easy [once I had made a few practise attempts and had pointers from the most helpfull members here  ]

I have said this b4 but it's worth repeating.............. i cant beleive how easy SMF is to use after years of phpBB3 

[Bulldog Stang]

I am having this issue .... Any suggestions

Converting groups... Successful.
Converting members... Unsuccessful!
This query:

    SELECT ID_ATTACH, filename
    FROM `vtownracing`.phpbb2attachments;

Caused the error:

    Unknown column 'ID_ATTACH' in 'field list'

[ThorstenE]

maybe you are using the wrong phpbbx_to_smf.sql.. is your phpbb an phpbb3 or phpbb2 ?

[mobilewo]

sir can you please help me I am convert phpbb3 to smf that success but some time page open show
Content Encoding Error (content_encoding_error)

Server response could not be decoded using encoding type returned by server.
This is typically caused by a Web Site presenting a content encoding header of one type, and then encoding the data differently.

[ThorstenE]

Turn off compressed output in SMF, maybe this helps..

[mobilewo]

sir please tel me where can i find this because I am new in smf

[ThorstenE]

Admin - Server-Settings - Feature-Configuratuin - Enable compressed output (disbable this checkbox)

[0413]

Ok, this may sound totally silly, but where do I install the login fix?

[ThorstenE]

Admin - Packages - Download .. at the bottom there is an upload field.. upload it and follow the instructions.
It's the same like installing modifications..

Hi all, first off thanks for the mod!  I am very excited to be moving over to SMF.. it's been amazing so far.

However, I am having some problems migrating my users over... the accoutns come over fine, but the passwords are not working as expected.  I applied the login fix mod, but that also didn't seem to solve it for me, and I think I know why:

Code Select Expand


    // Range of characters allowed.
    $range = './0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';


I allow (and encourage the use of) special characters (!@#$%^&*(/.,>?<, etc) in my passwords and I think that range line is killing my efforts.  Has anyone else run into this issue? 

Oh, and I couldn't seem to find where to set my SMF to UTF-8.. got a pointer for me?

Thanks!
