How would be the best procedure to upgrade from simpleboard?
anyone done this?

Thanks

I would like to hire someone (programmers of Fireboard?) to help me with my upgrade from Simpleboard. I've got too much to lose if I do something wrong and we need it fixed now as our forum is getting REALLY BUSY and the threads aren't displaying right etc. Email for contact is This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The conversion should work fine. Simpleboard/Joomlaboard converter is built into Fireboard and once Fireboard is installed, the first time you view the FB admin panel, it will prompt you to either set up the demo data or convert from SB/JB. The conversion does not touch the existing data except to pull it out and put it into the FB tables. I will tell you that immediately after converting, there is an SQL script you need to run in order for the tables to be structured correctly. That along with instructions for running it can be found here.

Good luck!

Problem is the last line says this...IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH MYSQL QUERIES, GET SOMEONE THAT DOES OR LEAVE IT ALONE. I would prefer to hire someone to work on it for 30 minutes and run the script, as I'm not familiar enough with it to do it with confidence. I have done everything else, I just need to run the script and I don't know how.

I can help you with that. Give me a minute and let me "tuck" my son in and I'll be back. That is, if you would like the help.

I would greatly appreciate it. Feel free to IM me on Yahoo or MSN. You can email me at the above Yahoo email too.
