I get a lot of errors but this I can't solve...

If you go into your IPB database and look at the ipb_forums table
Can you paste a sample from the permissions_array column?

That column should have a serialized array of the permissions. So that is odd why its happening.

Try opening the ipb23_to_smf.sql
Find:

Code: [Select]

        $row += unserialize(stripslashes($row['permission_array']));
        $row = addslashes_recursive($row);

Replace:

Code: [Select]

        $row += @unserialize(stripslashes($row['permission_array']));
         $row = addslashes_recursive($row);

This will hopefully tell it to be quiet if it has errors and the rest of it should hopefully quietly give up.

I was trying to convert 2.3.4 to SMF but I just can't from some reason :

2.3.3 works great... thanks.

Although towards the end of the process I recieved this error, but it didn't make any difference in the end:

iSplicer,

The avatars path is missing in the IPB settings so it isn't able to copy the avatars over.
If you don't mind that you are missing those, then you can just ignore the user avatar errors and can use SMF fine

Are you sure you are using the ipb 2.3 converter?

It doesn't add a substring at all and the inserts you show it is :|

I have just tried to do a conversion from ipb2.3.x to smf and all seemed to be going well when I got this error. Do I need to worry about it and if so how can I fix it or should I just forget it and get on with life. My host has just upgraded to these new versions

Apache version   1.3.41 (Unix)

I have an ipb sql database and an smf sql database combined as one. I need to convert the ipb to smf but it seems to cause errors because of duplicate member ids. Is there a way around this?

SleePy · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2008, 02:21:49 PM »

Are you clicking continue or letting it do its work?
The converter will automatically do the work and refresh as needed.

I found that by not clicking continue it continued to work. However at the end there were a bunch of errors. It said it was successful but it was not.
