yaBB SE to vB converter · **Released**: 02-12-2003

I'm glad to sharing the script which I wrote for the import from yaBB SE.
It is tested on vB 2.2.9 and yaBB SE 1.4.0.

Just copy to your site, change settings.php and run yabbse2vb.php
You will see the instruction then.

Please use english language. German language is not updated there.

Use for your OWN RISK.

Special thanks to "Television Board.de (Boothby)" for the yaBB to vB converter.
My script is based on that.

hmm.. just tried this and seem to be getting this error by just running the member upgrade:

tendaven (Error: "Table 'oldforums.user' doesn't exist")
shelick (Error: "Table 'oldforums.user' doesn't exist")
Niada (Error: "Table 'oldforums.user' doesn't exist")

all members coming up the same..

my database is called oldforums...

not sure why it's trying to reference oldforums.user ???? i put in the config file that the name of the users table was members.

also noticing sql syntax errors when trying to import their personal text with a ' in the field. these extra ' are interfering with the sql string so you might want to do a replace to get rid of those and strip 'em out.

Gerges, please check the settings into 'settings.php' file.

nferreri · #9 02-17-2003, 06:37 PM

any fixes for my problems?

nferreri, seems that oldforums is your yaBB database but you have to specify your vB database.
