I just tried the script posted in http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=404303.msg2893139#msg2893139 , and I quickly get stuck by that:
Converting...
Converting members...Wrong value type sent to the database. Date expected. (birthdate)

How frustrating, birth dates are so unimportant in my board... (most likely, almost all of them aren't filled in)

Trying to convert MyBB 1.6.0 to SMF 2.0RC5 (since the older version, 2.0RC4, can't be found).

Edit: Well, nevermind, I just deleted all birth dates from MyBB and then it worked ;)

Forgive me if this has already been addressed somewhere.  (I searched to see if this was listed somewhere else on the forum and I couldn't find it.)

I'm converting from MyBB 1.6.2 to SMF 2.0 RC5.  I got the birthdate error, which led to me deleting the birthdays to get past it.  That worked.  When it was importing the topics, it gave me this error:
Converting topics...
Duplicate entry '477' for key 'PRIMARY'


What do I do for it?

Hello !
First, thanks you very much for this converter, but I'm having some problems using it. I had to fix the birthday bug though.

It's working, at first, because I can see all my members ( 4 659 ) in the member list and in the database, the passwords are working, I even get the Categories/Forum structures with the numbers of Posts and thread inside, but that's all, after letting the script running for one hour I stopped it.

Note: I have +20k of posts inside the forum to convert.

It's freezing at Converting topics.

Can you help me :) ?

I am getting the following error when I run the script at the poll conversion:
Converting polls...Wrong value type sent to the database. Integer expected.
anyone have a clue what's up?

Well, I managed to fix the above, but now I get this
Converting personal messages (step 1)...The database value you're trying to insert does not exist: from_name
any ideas

That would interest me too. I try to SMF MyBB 1.6.3 to convert.

cheif_asi

as i start the convertor i get this error

QuoteSorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of MyBulletinBoard 1.6. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the Database account used does not have permissions to access it.

    The error that was received from the Database was: SELECT command denied to user 'smf'@'localhost' for table 'users'

pls help me out

Bruno36,
in mybb16_to_smf.sql find:
---* {$to_prefix}members

add after:
---{
/* fix invalid birthdates */
if(!preg_match('/\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}/', $row['birthdate']))
$row['birthdate'] = '0001-01-01';
---}

then restart the conversion.

hi.. when I try this fix,I get the following.. any help appreciated..

Converting members...
Unsuccessful!
This query:

    if(!preg_match('/\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}/', $row['birthdate']))
    $row['birthdate'] = '0001-01-01'
    LIMIT 0, 500;

Caused the error:

    You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'if(!preg_match('/\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}/', $row['birthdate']))
    $row['birthdate'] = '' at line 1

Here is the correct, 100% working, file for converting mybb 1.6.x to SMF 2.0
If you have a problem like slash before quotes  ie: dog\'s in boards, Use that queries:
UPDATE smf_boards SET description = REPLACE(description, '\\', '') WHERE description LIKE "%\\\\%";
UPDATE smf_boards SET name = REPLACE(name, '\\', '') WHERE name LIKE "%\\\\%";

My problem is that I've followed all the way this topic and digging all the info I was able to find here and with the uncle Google help. Still unable to do the conversion from MyBB 1.6.4a to SMF 2.0. I have already tried to convert even form 1.6.4a to 1.1.14.
