I love smf but have noticed that it may be too feature-rich for my community, and want a forum that's more tightly integrated into the CB system....

So, I've finally decided to go for the simplicity of joomlaboard but don't want to lose all the forum posts in the process - has anyone managed to simply port postings from smf into joomlaboard?

q./

I am looking for this too

i am getting ready to convert from SMF to PhpBB then from
PhpBB to Joomlaboard

via this atachment (see bottom Or Top)

not sure if it si going to work ..

From the Joomlaboard Official site:

---

I converted my phpBB 2.0.20 to Joomla 1.08 + Joomlaboard 1.1.2 with 100% success using that script. Just modify the table prefix and your mysql login details at the top. Change the table prefix to "jos_".

The only trouble I ran into was that some of my phpBB users had apostrophes in their usernames (like "Danny O'Day"). The script bombed with an error when it hit those, but since Joomla doesn't allow apostrophes in usernames anyway, I just manually edited those users and removed their apostrophes. After that, everything worked perfectly.

The original poster also reported that if your phpBB allows unregistered users to post, they'll show up as usernames "-1" under Joomlaboard.

(script attached)

Hope this helps.

Surely, there should be another way of doing it?
