Default YaBB SP1 converter
Hi...

I'm an admin of a huge YaBB board that is looking for a YaBB SP1 to vBulletin converter. I can't seem to find one, which is incredible to me, considering the giant userbase that YaBB has. I enjoy the free software, but for some reason I like vBulletin better... However, I don't like it enough to abandon the huge amount of content my YaBB board has generated.

It there a converter available or in the works? I don't know the first thing about coding, but I can follow directions like a mf'er...

Any help on this topic is appreciated.

If I can get this thing figured out, I'll buy a lisence immediately... But without being able to convert... no dice.

Well, there is a YaBB to vb converter.

i don't know if it also works with YaBB SP1, depends on the DB-changes

I couldn't get it to work with SP1... It seems to be for YaBB Gold...

I kept getting permission errors.

Warning: fopen("/home/www/cgi-bin/YaBB/Variables/cat.txt", "r") - Permission denied in /home/site/public_html/BB/mod/yabbtovb.php on line 132

or

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/www/public_html/BB/mod/yabbtovb.php on line 146

or

Warning: fopen("/home/www/cgi-bin/YaBB/Members/#1stunna_lelie.dat", "r") - Permission denied in /home/orangema/public_html/BB/mod/yabbtovb.php on line 43

I don't understand why I'm getting these errors...

FYI- I borrowed a friends version of vB to test this. If I can successfully complete the conversion, I'm buying the lisence. If not, I'll have no choice but to stay with YaBB, or look for another PHP solution.

hmm, it seems that your permission settings are incorrect

try to chmod those files to 777 and retry the script

Don't the directories need to be chmod to 777 and files to 666 to give proper write permission (on some general setting) servers?

Seemed to work... I went ahead and bought the lisence...

There was a slight problem... The search engine didn't seem to recognize all of the threads that were ported in. Is there a way to fix this so that the search engines will properly index these threads?
