*phew - wipes sweat from brow* here is my Ikonboard -> VBulletin Post Convertor

might do a forum convertor next.. you can find my user convertor further down the page..
please let me know if you use this as a lot of hard work (and a whole lot of this saturday morning) went into it

attatched..

woohoo appreciation, mesa likes this

ummm it shouldent be too hard to fix those problems, i was in kindof a hurry to get them done as my main server had went down along with the ikonboard so i had to quickly switch everything to vb (new backup host didn't support PerlCGI)
but yeah, tomorrow when i get back from work ill fix the issues and do a repose, sorry for the merged threads guys

User Converter: The 'joindate' field is not being populated from ikonboard so all users show up as 1969 or something.

if your using Ib 2.7, there was a bug where all users were taged with a 12/31/1969 registration date. If your using that version, you'll have to fix that bug before you convert the posts.

I would like to learn, whether the problem in converting messages was solved? I have in view of messages arising mess at use of the converter?

what exactly is a post coverter? and BTW, Karate Kid, did you make that spinning logo?

yeah the post convertor bug was solved a while ago, it will 100% work now

I converted now successfully 1500 Postings and 300 Threads and 255 User. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

@ heero koi: No, this logo made a friend. He is a graphical profi

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.

I could put it through its paces and try on my friends board it has
56,000 posts
6000 threads
4000 members

I would just do it as a test though.

Should I import the users or the posts, before ?

I think the first one, as I noticed that in forums imported before than the users who wrote there, all the users ar marked 'Guest'.
Is mine the right solution ?

Thank you very much.
Bye
