Please check out:
Converting to SMF

You can find a converter in Downloads/converters.

No mods can possibly be converted, however the important data is converted: posts, members.

Thank you sir ,

But i am not sure that which converter is need to convert from vb 3.8.2 to SMF.

Can you please give me link ?

Thanks in advance.

NaYa,

You would want the vBulletin 3.7 converter.  We haven't developed a 3.8 converter, but the 3.7 converter works just fine.  You will want the SMF 2.0 converter, but please remember our 2.0 converters are in development and are only released for public testing

[NaYa]

what about attachments ??

i am little bit curious ........

[Norv]

Attachments should be converted, just like members, posts, avatars.
Have you tried the 3.7 converter?

[NaYa]

ok..thank you ...i am going to do this .

but ther is a small edit i am using Vb 3.8.4 ...

any problem with that ?

i heard something about anty converter in vb
reply - - thank you

[Norv]

There is no problem either way : the converter might work well or not so well, but it won't do anything wrong, so in case there are problems, please let us know.
In any case, you will want to know that the 2.0 converter is not stable yet (it may have a little more bugs), the one to 1.1.10 is considered stable.

[NaYa]

ohh thank you . .

my doubts cleared ,i will convert soon . . .

[NaYa]

a small problem , anybody can giv me a direct link to vb 3.7 converter ??

[Norv]

Please try using the files mentioned and attached here: [SMF Converter] vBulletin 3.7

[NaYa]

[NaYa]

i tried one . and got this error :

Notice: Undefined variable: dbname in /home/mobile4m/public_html/forum/convert.php(407) : eval()'d code on line 1

Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of vBulletin 2. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the MySQL account used does not have permissions to access it.

The error MySQL gave was: Incorrect database name ''

i used the correct password .

Thank you.

[NaYa]

Notice: Undefined variable: config in /public_html/forum/convert.php(407) : eval()'d code on line 1

The error MySQL gave was: Incorrect database name ''

[Norv]

About the error:
Please make sure that the user of the SMF database has access to the vBulletin database. You can do that in 2 ways: by installing SMF in the same database as vBulletin, or, in your administration cpanel, make sure that the user of the SMF database has all rights in the vBulletin database.

On another note: can you please tell how big is your forum?

[NaYa]

i installed smf in vbulletin database .

but i forgot the vbulletin database userpass .so just created a new database user with full access .

database size = 636.22 MB

thank you

[Norv]

i installed smf in vbulletin database .

but i forgot the vbulletin database userpass .so just created a new database user with full access .

That's fine, if I understand correctly: so now the new user is the user declared in the SMF installation, and SMF was installed in the same database.
Please make sure you copy the convert files in your SMF directory, and run the conversion.

[NaYa]

ya the conver.php and that sql file is in the forum directory .

[Norv]

Then please run convert.php, enter the appropriate paths, and the database user password, then convert. In case it doesn't work well, please copy paste here the result.
