additional user permission lost

[izi]

i am converting from 1.3

i have a number of users that i have added to them addition permission groups.

after conversion only the primary permission is set in smf 115.

is the additional groups not supported?

[SleePy]

The IPB 1.3 converter doesn't appear to support additional groups.
Are you able to upgrade to IPB 2.3? I have a converter I am working on and should be finished soon that hopefully I did it right to support additional groups.
If not I can look into getting it to work with IPB 1.3 if the database changes where not to much between those two versions.

[izi]

if i have to upgrade to ipb 2.3 i will stay with it.

[SleePy]

give this one a try.
If IPB didn't change the way they do additional groups since 1.3 and 2.3 then it should work.

Converting members...Unknown column 'mgroup_others' in 'field list'

[SleePy]

Ahh shoot they did.
Do you know the name of the field that is being used to hold additional groups or could you possibly send me a dump of your members table structure (not data).

[izi]

yes, the field is called org_perm_id.

however, i noticed some strange results in converting the group ids. it keeps the first 8 groups from initial smf and then adds my ipb groups after.

the result is that all normal registerd members have group 0. and the others have incorrect ids.

[SleePy]

Ahh, It just occurred to me why it occurs.
I am copying the additional groups directly and not updating them if needed correctly..
Ok, I think I can fix it..

edit,
try this one

[izi]

my group id for normal users is 3. the converter only convert ids greater than 5.

[SleePy]

Well from the SQL query I looked at it should be finding the admin group and setting it to the default SMF admin group (1), if their group is above 5 it adds 3 to it. Otherwise it uses 0.

Try this one though. It should convert additional groups right.

[izi]

yes, but my groups are below 5.

[SleePy]

Then they are the default groups right?
The converter is using the default IPB groups and knowing which ones by default are what groups and matching them.
