I just used this converter and it really works wonders. Only one word of caution to anybody that decides to use it. Rename the THD files from your IB to unique values higher than any of the existing post ID's in your VB database. Makes sure that the renamed THD files correspond in the list.cgi file. If you do not do this and have a VB with posts on it already, you will end up overwriting existing posts as the IB posts will share the same ID with the exisitng VB posts. This particular hack in my oppinion is suitable for only those that have a working knowledge of VB database.

Excuse me, but if I have a lot of different IB forums to import in an empty VB database, how can I rename all the .thd files ?
In each IB forum I have numbers from 1 to N.... Shall I have to renumber them in an incremental order among different forums (IB & VB ones) ?

Thanks again

Actually, why the first free threadid is not taken from autoindex as the postid is ?
How can I do this to resolve the bug ?

Thank you very much.

I have +/- the same number, but all thread numbers are overwritten .... :stupid: :o :(

Is there any new version of the conv_post which uses the threadid= AUTO_INCREMENT across forums instead of the filename.thd number ???
I even tried to link the forum number (for example 12) with the threadid in the conv...php, like this : threadid=1201310 in both thread and post tables, but this way I have A LOT OF HOLES in my thread table at the end.... :)
How could I recompact those numbers ?

Thanks a lot.

:( Neither with 2.0.X and complex (many forums) Ikonboards....
I just made some little patches to the great work of LoB and renamed the threads number in output as XX0xxxx where XX is the forumXX index in IB, and xxxx is the .thd name...
Later, for my own mind-problems (:p) I renumbered - by hands and some SQL UPDATE FROM SELECT - all the threads in MySQL DB to a sequence, making of course the post table to follow the new numbers... ;)

There isn't a hack or ... Only a lot of handy work!!! :(

Just wondering if anyone has managed to get this convertor to work properly yet. I really need a posts convertor and urgently too.

If anyone has an updated version of this convertor, please post it here.

Thanks.
