MiniBB 1.6 with parts of 1.7 to SMF

[Darelius]

Is thare a converter for miniBB to a SMF forum existent (perfect will be 1.17 or something from 1.12+)

I dont find a Converter or a clear arranged list of Converters, so i ask here.

Or is somebody available to help made a converter or so?

we have a miniBB converter on our downloads page, but our converters empty out many SMF tables before importing the old miniBB data. So you can not convert a miniBB when SMF is already containing data (members, Topics, messages..)

Thank you!

No, the SMF will be a new forum and the old miniBB should only be imported for an "upgrade"

But one Question:

Du i have to "install" the SMF Forum before converting? Because installing makes one user (the main Admin with user id 1) and i think, in the old is also a main admin with user id 1
Or should it be uninstalled?

yes, SMF must be installed before the conversion:
