you mean to install ipb database to the same as smf one but in smf's db use prefix ?

[emanuele]

I mean: you now have an IPB database somewhere, install SMF in the same database as IPB (while installing define a prefix for the tables name (this is default during install, so it should not be necessary to change anything) and then do the conversion.

hmm ok wait for my reply then if worked or not

something else for my new db i should export the smf_ tables right?

[emanuele]

I'm not sure what do you mean, I have two interpretation, but will bet on the second one.

If you want to move the just converted SMF forum to a different database, yes you can export the SMF tables and re-import them to the other database.

If I misunderstood you let me know!

[Ventic]

Haven't seen any, but it's simple:
1. Install SMF 2.0.2
2. Download converter (convet.php and *.sql file)
3. Upload converter to root directory of your SMF forum (same catalog where you have SSI.php and Settings.php)
4. Run convert.php in your web browser, enter patchs to IPB and SMF, enter your database password (password mus be the same in IPB and SMF database)
5. Click 'Continue'

If there won't be any errors after a while your forum will be converted

Unfortunatley i stuck on point 3.....
