Converting from Yabb 1.3 to latest version of SMF

[ivany]

 Hi there,

I was wondering if someone could give me a hand with a problem I'm having converting the above.

Basically, some things are transferring over, some other things are not:

What's transferring properly:

Members
Members IMs
Members Groups
1 Category (the first one on my Yabb installation)
the 1 board in that category and all associated messages

What's not:

Everything else

Any ideas at all why, for example, the converter would be able to snag one category and the messages within the board in that category, yet not be able to grab the rest?

Thanks in advance,

Ivan

You'll need the following:
-> The install package of SMF
-> The converter for YaBB to SMF. If you want to install SMF 1.1 RC2, you'll need to look here for SMF 1.0.5 here: here.

Upload the entire install package of SMF to your website (for example to a folder named 'smf') and after that upload the converter to the same directory (not in a sub folder). Then first run SMF's install.php (just open your brand new SMF directory, for example http://www.yourdomain.com/smf/), finish the installation, and then run the converter (for example http://www.yourdomain.com/smf/yabb_to_smf.php). Provide all requested information and click on Convert.

That should do it!
Aaron.
