Note: This was tested on Burning Board 2.3.6, but should in theory work on other versions of Burning Board 2.3.x if the database changes have not been to great.

Okay, i read this. most of the arguments i untderstand. but how do i access my datanbase (WBB) i have access to all DB's and the user who has access to SMF has access to WBB too.
but where i haveto define , that the WBB-databse is ?

ThorstenE

you only need to enter the path to your wbb installation during conversion, the converter reads the needed infos from the following wbb file: /acp/lib/config.inc.php

simpsonetti

but where? in convert.php ? i don't see there any config.
And when i'm using my convert.php at http://192.168.178.211/local/smf/convert.php there is only a white site. when i opening http://192.168.178.211/local/smf/index.php SMF will me shown my forum. so documentation is quit good. i read the note from you some times, but i found there nothing to solve this.

ThorstenE

maybe you are using the convert.php from our downloads page? the lower part of my signature should help.. (or direct link to the fixed convert.php: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=140741.0;attach=67973)
the wbb-infos are defined in the wbb23_to_smf.sql (attachment, first message of this topic)
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=259274.0;attach=67039

dowload both files and place them into your SMF directory, then call the convert.php from your browser..

simpsonetti

Okay, this worked.
But, when i logged in, i'm global moderator (in wbb i'm admin but NOT ID=1 !!) and now i see NO FORUM or kategorie.
Whats to do, to get admin here in SMF ?

ThorstenE

use phpMyAdmin an go the the SQL-Window

execute the following query:

UPDATE smf_members SET ID_GROUP = '1' WHERE memberName='youradminsname';

replace smf_ with your database prefix and youradminsname with the name of the admin account... then login and check the permissions.

Okay, this works, Thanks for your Support TE  :)
