Hi,

I´ve tested the merge system for mybb1.4 and wanted to merge from a smf 1.1.7 board.
But I not all of my data was merged:
- only a few posts were merged
- no sub categories were merged
- no attachments were merged
- and so on

Is there a way to merge from smf 1.1.7 or is this impossible? Or should I merge from smf 1.1.7 to mybb 1.2 and then merge to mybb 1.4?


Best regards

Link to your old board and new board. Also zip up your convert/logs/ directory and PM me it. Let me know what about is missing.
Hi,
old Board: www.faqboard.info
new Board: www.faqboard.info/MyBB

Ok i see in admin area that the forum titles are missing. If I add all the titles the threads seem to be there.
These are the errors at the moment:
- My attachments are still missing
- Three sub boards were below a wrong parent category

I'm having the same sort of problems, I too tried merging an SMF 1.1.7 forum to MyBB 1.4 with the SVN Snapshot merge system.

After two attempts I ended up with this:

You have to edit all the forum titles. Then all of the post are back.

I can't even get to most threads, basically the merge was a disaster. Fortunately, I just tried it as an experiment, obviously it's not ready to go to a stable release. Everything "appeared" to go smoothly during the convert process on the second try with no errors except for lots of "attachment not found" errors while merging attachments but obviously it did not merge correctly.

I am not complaining about this as I realize it's only a test system at this point, just letting folks know that it's not working with SMF 1.1.7 so far, at least not for me or krawutke.

Send me a ZIP of your /convert/logs/ directory in a PM as well.
