Hi, I'm trying to convert existing Seditio site (since Neocrome no longer exists) to Drupal and I consider using SMF as my replacement forum. I have 23k+ members and 158k+ posts. I downloaded and installed latest converter from the first link in Norv's post but when I run script, it fails on first step;
"Converting members...Wrong value type sent to the database. Date expected. (birthdate)"

In phpMyAdmin user_birthdate is set to INT ?!?!?
I'm using Seditio 125.

I know it's been a long time since you last posted in this thread, but I'm on a dead end with this CMS and any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ok, dropped the user_birthdate (INT) and created user_birthdate (DATE). I get pass this first error, but this isn't the end:

"Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered in /home/gitare/public_html/test/smf/convert.php(1254) : eval()'d code on line 2"

1523rd and 1254th row in convert.php:

"if ($special_code !== null)
eval($special_code);"

But still, I get "Successful" after "converting members" though when I visit the forum, no new members have been added.

also:
"Converting categories...Wrong value type sent to the database. Integer expected. (cat_order)"

I thought this is gonna be easy :/

It appears birthdates in Seditio are stored as UNIX timestamps. For some reason, the converter isn't handling that properly. Since you've already taken care of that issue, there's not much sense in fixing that right now.

I'm not sure what's causing the "non-well-formed integer" error.

As for the cat_order issue - what exactly is stored in the fn_path column of the forum_structure table? It's a string (varchar) in Seditio, but if it's really used to specify the order of the categories, it should be numeric anyway.

Hey, thanks for taking time to reply.

As for the fn_path column, you're right, it's used for order of categories, but in seditio you are adding subcategories like this:
"Intro" path: 02
"Intro - About us" path: 02.01

But since forum_structure is just used for categories, and not forums and subforums, it could be numeric.

So are you suggesting me to drop table and create new INT?

Hi

I was also having this problem but after some trial and error got catogories to work, just change the type to int, However ive now run into the next problem which is that the converter keeps thinking that there are duplicate posts "Duplicate entry '466' for key 1"

No if i delete post 466 it then says there is a duplicate post for 467 and so on..

Does anyone know how to get past this?
