[BETA] SMF 1.1 RC2 Converter - Including update for vB 3.5

[SBGamesCone]

Try running it again and when you see substep in the address, put 11

No need, I got the updated convert.php file from the thread in this forum and it corrected that issue. I just think a "broken" converter on the main dls page will deter some would be users of SMF that aren't saavy enough to come in here and find updated files.

Sorry I don't have time to read through all 13 pages of this but I don't believe this has been addressed:

When converting from e107 v0.7.5 the page counts of post appear to be screwed up:
Original: http://hazardaaclan.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?2339 [nofollow]
SMF Conversion: http://hazardaaclan.com/smf/index.php?topic=2339.0 [nofollow]

Obviously the page count is incorrect. If you could get this fixed many thanks!

I am trying to convert phpbb2 forum to SMF. More or less everiything went ok (i downloaded convert utility from site, and after dealign with some bugs i managed to end conversion). Then i found out that there is fixed version of convert utility on forum. I guess, someone should set fixxed version on official download site.

Well, i have one main problem. My phpbb forum worked using UTF-8. While installing SMF i specified that i want UTF-8. All messages are converted with UTF-8 sharacters messed out. All of the message writeen in cyrillic are unreadable now.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks. In menatime I managed to do it on myself and without additional tools.

Trick was to install SMF without UTF-8 support, then convert phpBB2 to SMF and after that activate conversion using SMF Admin / Foum Maintenance / Convert HTML-entities to UTF-8 characters .

Everything went OK and all messages are readable now.

I found another bug in converfetrr for phpbb2. When personal messages are converted smf_pm_recipients filed lables is empty. Thus allpersonal messages are presented as belonging to nonexistant label. This field should by default have value of -1 so personal messages would be shown in Inbox.

I fixed this by simple SQL...

UPDATE osmf_pm_recipients SET labels = -1

.. but this should be foxed in covert.php.

I was thinking that everything is fine till I try to administrate SMF board.

Whatever I`ve tried to change, ends with error :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/dzembak/public_html/yrv/forums/Settings.php on line 30

Please provide line 30 please, thank you.
