I have followed the lead on the message below - the first post on this thread to port my SMF forums to fireboard. Everything ran as it should but nothing was moved over to fireboard.

Question: How will the threads come over from the SMF database - the document does not indicate where the userid and pasword needs to be entered for the SMF database?

Question: I installed Joomla 1.0.x and then fireboard 1.0.1 as indicated (without activating the database) but the users and theads need to come over from the SMF database but I did not specify SMF info, link, location, database in the php...

Unless I am missing a major component - I cant seem to understand how the threads, users, categories and posts from SMF will move over to fireboard!

Could someone please tell me where I am going wrong?

Appreciate any assistance.

and importantly - smf_2_fb_v2.txt

So to begin...

## If you have fireboard installed now get rid of it, delete all the fireboard folders on your server in /components and /administrator/components if there are any left behind, go into your db and delete the relevant fireboard entries too so either mos_fb_ or jos_fb_ depending if you were once a mambo user that converted to joomla! ##

Install the fireboard component in the usual way, once it is installed leave it * Do not click on create database *

Unzip the com_smftofb.zip folder and then go into your server backend and to the /components directory, in here you need to upload the unzipped com_smftofb folder and contents.
