MyBB 1.8 Convertor

[racerhistory]

Well, it had an error when it got to the polls.

Updated convert.php, trying again.

Also, the error message posted here may help

Converting polls...The database value you're trying to insert does not exist: id_member

SQL: 10.0.38-MariaDB-cll-lve
PHP: 7.4

If I skip past the pools the rest of the conversion works just fine.

Odd can you run this query on your old mybb database and let me know what happens.

Code Select Expand

SELECT
p.pid AS id_poll, SUBSTRING(p.question, 1, 255) AS question, p.closed AS voting_locked,
    t.uid AS id_member,
    IF(p.timeout = 0, 0, p.dateline + p.timeout * 86400) AS expire_time,
    SUBSTRING(t.username, 1, 255) AS poster_name
FROM mybb_polls AS p
    LEFT JOIN mybb_threads AS t ON (t.tid = p.tid);

MyBB 1.8 Convertor Beta

https://github.com/SimpleMachines/converters/tree/master/SMF2.0/MyBB/1.8

Requires both files to be copied to your new empty SMF install.

I'm not getting this to work. 

I have the converter.php and the mybb18 to smf.sql files installed in my SMF's directory.  SMF is installed. 

I input the paths and database password, and it makes the fields where I enter the information disappear and just leaves the Steps table.  It doesn't progress or prompt me for anything.

What PHP version?

install smf to test in xampp before doing them in the hosting. But when I run the file http://localhost/smf/convert.php I get the image error.

Fatal error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in C:\xampp\htdocs\smf\convert.php on line 2813



Solved: I just replace { } for [ ].

Updated:

Enter the data, it is local so I do not use a password, that is why it is empty.



Now I get this error when I click continue:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "MYSQL_TITLE" in C:\xampp\htdocs\smf\Sources\Subs-Db-mysql.php:55 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\smf\Sources\Load.php(3697): smf_db_initiate('localhost', 'smf2', 'root', '', 'smf_', Array) #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\smf\convert.php(410): loadDatabase() #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\smf\convert.php(223): loadSettings() #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\smf\convert.php(139): preparse_sql('C:\\xampp\\htdocs...') #4 C:\xampp\htdocs\smf\convert.php(37): initialize_inputs() #5 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\smf\Sources\Subs-Db-mysql.php on line 55

Ok I see the issue. You are trying to convert to SMF 2.1 the convertors do not support SMF 2.1 yet.

You will need to install SMF 2.0.19 run then use the convertor. Then upgrade your SMF version to SMF 2.1

Thank you for answering so quickly. if that was the problem.
