Unified converter! (InvPB, miniBB, PhpBB, vBulletin & YabbSE) (Page 4 of 5)

I mean for latest SMF version 1.1.1
Yesterday, I already convert my SMF to PunBB at this thread

PunBB and SMF use different encryption systems, so I don't believe it's possible, sorry

Ok I have a question... I installed mega punbb 2.0 from punbb 1.2.15 and now I can't migrate mysql database from punbb to mega punbb! What is the best way to update the database? I installed mega punbb to another location so i can work on it without having to disrupt the current site and now I can't transfer my current punbb database to mega punbb? please advise...

thanks!

how do i import table content only? i'm on phpmyadmin and i've exported the users table and i'm trying to import the sql file into a new table on the same database...no workie... gives me an error but doesn't tell me what type of error it is!

I also tried to install mega punbb into the same database tables but this is the error:

An error occured.

PunBB reported: A table called "users" is already present in the database "DATABASE". This could mean that PunBB is already installed or that another piece of software is installed and is occupying one or more of the table names PunBB requires. If you want to install multiple copies of PunBB in the same database, you must choose a different table prefix.

ok now i think i just screwed up everything.. all my posts and users are gone.

Does it work with vBulletin 3.6.8 PL2?

Thanks! Happy new year!

The latest version of PunBB Migration Tool, i.e. 1.4.0, was updated at 2005-09-30, but vBulletin 3.6.x was released at 2006-08-13 with the big change from 3.5.x (released at 2005-10-16) and more from 3.0.0 (released at 2004-03-25).

msibm: It's still worth trying. Depending upon how much the schema has changed, the converter might work or it might need a couple tweaks.
And no, attachments are not converted.

Hmm i am looking for one SMF to PunBB converter

You could do the same thing the other way, with PunBB. However, both ways I assume it's a lot of work and involves manual coding. With 1.3, we should have a set of extensions that come with the converter that allow for different password schemes to be converted.

For 1.3, the converter will be redone and (hopefully) will support converting from even more forums.

In the meantime, if you really want to use PunBB, you can find a converter that converts from ikonboard to a forum software that the converter currently supports and then do it as a multi-step process.
