Topic: YaBB 2.4 to SMF 1.1.14

[Tonyvic]

Hi all,
I'm another of those trying to escape the YaBB fiasco!
After 25 hours the converter finally completed with the 'congratulations' message.
However I have a big problem with attachments, pictures in posts do not appear or I get the attached error.

Also in posts with zip or word attachments, each one is there over 100 times

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Tony

Sorry, unable to help, as my own site, successfully migrated just over a week ago, didn't have attachments (for technical reasons, not possible on my site).

Are the files there?

I have been following your progress on the YaBB forum, on here & on your forum, congratulations on your efforts.

I must also thank you for pointing the way to achieve the YaBB 2.5 to SMF 2.0.1 conversion, & for persuading me to give it a shot.

Are the files there?

They are all in the Attachments folder & database, so it looks as if the SMF recoding gets confused in the process.

As no ideas have been suggested, it looks as though I will have to manually upload the attachments to the relevent posts after I go live with SMF.
There are only 1,200 of them, so shouldn't take me more than a week or two!

Apart from that the conversion went well, now learning how to configure everything.
