good job dude.
I did migration from SMF 2 weeks ago smile

Where is the download link? smile

On our forum, causing high (long respons query). Especially for Forum had large/many topics sad
And no-success result.. I restore my viewforum.php backup file.

But, if forum had few topics (eg. below 10), this mod works nice smile

browser : Opera

Can anyone tell me how to add this to the side of the forum, ie not over or under.

I want it in a box next to forum preferly right side of the forum

??

Smart idea smile
HTML Code allowed, that can be use to display banner, or specific announcement

Its just ethical manner.
Sometimes, Admin did undercover as moderator or member (special purposes)..
And we dont want to show those IP to other Moderators. smile

Cool, its workd! smile

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

I see.
It doesn't affect performance to PunBB.
because, at SMF there is a warning to translate UTF. If you need multi-language character, better use UTF-8.

Thanks.

and this is what to cahnge for ip's:

search for "IP"
and change the rule to:

if ($pun_user['g_id'] == PUN_ADMIN)

Thanks GOD.
That what I need..
In the cyber world, We (as admin) can not trust anyone, even Moderator.
So, the forum should disable IP view by Moderator.

Thank You smile

Awesome Converter.
SMF isn't in list? smile

is UTF-8 increase database performance?
What the significant benefit of UTF-8 comparing server CPU resources?

Simple
- go to MySQL via PHPMyAdmin
- find admin at USER table
- see the email or change manually to active mail
- and now, use the Forgotten Password sent to email above
- reset and done! smile

And is that for SMF 1.0.x
rather than the newer SMF 1.1?

Here's the link and process How To Upgrade SMF 1.1.1 to PunBB 1.2.14 smile
http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=88617

This is my First Post and Report. Read carefully and do at your own risk smile

Migrating from SMF to PunBB, using latest SMF ver. 1.1.1

1. Download and use this Migration Tools
2. You can use same database at same host, but do it carefully. Make backup as necessary
3. Login as Admin of SMF Forum, Do all Forum Maintenance procedures!
4. Set your Forum at Maintenance Mode (number 2) at Settings.php
    If you run both SMF and PunBB forum at same host, rename or remove older index.php (from SMF)
5. Install (fresh install) your PunBB (currently PunBB ver 1.2.14 )
6. Upload The Migration Tools, especially SMF folder (thanks for David 'Chacmool' Djurbäck)
7. Run Converters (index.php) --> see Readme Install Document and Follow all direction
8. The process take half to 2 hours (depend on your forum), mine took 1587 secons!
    Here the my forum statistic:
    - Member 13704
    - Categories 9
    - Forums 43
    - Topics 5139
    - Posts 70836
See the screen-shot http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/6290/sukses0wt7.th.gif

9. After All Process Complete, Dont forget to set Admin and Password from previous forum, ignore the Moderator user setting (you can do it later).
10. Now, when login to new PunBB forum, The last important thing is The Rebuild Search Index
     Go to Administration Panel - Maintenance - Rebuild Search Index
     See screen-shot http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/5471/sukses0aiw1.th.gif

Well, as David suggest.. Prepare your Coffee until the process finish wink


Goodluck


Dis-advantage from this migration
- Many post need to update manually, such "img code", smiley etc.
- Private Message didnt convert (this David Tools only for SMF 1.0.5)
- Different password methods apply at PunBB vs SMF
- You have to manually announce (at forum board), How To Retrieve New Password for old Members
- Just use the link Forgotten Password, thats it! smile


Now, you can enjoy the simple and fast PunBB from the heavy and complex SMF
After running for 2 days, my forum reach:
- Total number of registered users: 13874
- Total number of topics: 5181
- Total number of posts: 71369
