FINALLY and THANK YOU!

Only problems I have had are attachments not coming across due to file name mismatch and child-boards coming across as top level boards.

I can live with both as they take time only to rectify.

Read the author's instruction on the Web site and all should go well.

Again thank you for this.

Oh yeah - most of the SMF BB code does not come across well either. Again, it will take some time for me to re-edit all the topics but this is acceptable.

Hello
Thanks for your information . We will test it again and will fix the mentioned issues .
Please go to extensions.joomla.org/component/option,c...k_id,4788/Itemid,35/ rate and write review for this usefull component .

Hi all,

i've tried to user this wonderful component to convert our SMF to Fireboard.

But i always got an 500 - internal server error on importing posts.
And then, there are onlny 2742 post of 3435 posts imported.
(3435 Posts in 428 Threads with 510 Members)

Is this caused by 1und1.com my webspace-provider?

On Attachements:
There are 313 Attachments in SMF/attachements, but after import there are only 161 in Fireboard?

best regards
Ayko

The SMF to Fireboard converter component worked perfectly, thanks

Is it possible to "import" rather than simply "convert" from SMF to Fireboard? The reason why is that I'm not quite ready to switch over to Fireboard yet, but I was considering using fireboard with groupjive for my site's groups, and then importing the rest of my posts later, when fireboard gets full group/private forum functionality. Does the SMF converter work if fireboard already has posts in it?

No. I'd recommend one or the other. While I have migrated one site to Fireboard, for the others, I'm sticking with SMF and a working Joomla 1.0 version until more features, including group/board permissions, are available.

Man, I guess if you snooze you lose. I have tried about 4 times to register with joomservices for this component and I never get a confirmation email. I have tried a couple different addresses, one even a gmail address, all with junk filters turned off -- and no luck.

Does anyone know is this another abandoned effort? I guess I should have grabbed it when it first come out. I have tried the other conversion work around a few times and always get errors that are slightly past my technical ability to resolve.
