[IMG] is not displayed after conversion.

[dosenpfand]

Hello guys,

we converted a forum from phpBB3 to SMF2 (which went smoothly, nice!). After putting the forum online, we came across this bug, that images linked with the bbc code [img] are not being displayed. I cant confirm it yet, but I think this might be the case with every bbc code.

After editing an entry and simply saving it - without any adjusting, because the bbc code was there alright - the forum displayed the image just fine.

So I think there is a bug in converting the tags or the threads in which the tags are.

So any idea? This is kinda urgent, I hope someone can help me.

I already looked around in this forum, but couldnt find any solution. Just more complains about this bug.

Hey, I still need help with this one, guys. :p

to get my imgs to show up after conversion from phpbb3, I had to go in and use the modify post and save it again, i think it helps to refresh it or something, I didnt actually modify anything but it forced a refresh and images show now, luckily for me I did the conversion early so I didnt have a lot of post and a couple moderators helped me, hope it works, Im sure you were loooking for a better answer but it s all I can offer.

Is that really the only way? There's probably thousands of [img] tags in my DB and I have to change them manually?

Sadly it's the only way.

The way the converter's build is what causes the issue..

Yikes. It's probably better to just run a db command and remove all the tags and leave them as links. If that's possible.

I dunno if that's possible. With some help of PHP it obviously is possible, but grabbing the list of posts, going through them and changing everything would be a bit harsh to the server..

I was thinking an UPDATE REPLACE command in phpMyAdmin. My community isn't that big, I could just let it run if it takes awhile.

That's possible indeed

I'm not that great with SQL commands, but you can change the contents of the posts with that command.
Investigate the _posts and _topics tables (it's possible I'm wrong, I don't have an actual SMF installation installed here)
