Because there is still some minor problems and isn't "that" killer application like SMF.kai920 wrote: Why do you miss SMF?
But users are tired of my "upgrading syndrome" and I want to take it easy for a while..
If you need a strong and multifunctional forum... leave JB where it is, for now.. (but if your needs are to let Community Builder driving the bus and have a little forum just-for-having-it.. it may be a solution).
Just my € 0,10 ..

Re: SMF -> Joomlaboard conversion
...and... there's another important reason that makes me change my mind about SMF...
It's called Mambelfish (actual Joomfish)
If you need to setting up a multilanguage website, which translates contents, menus, hyperlinks and stuff just clicking a button, Joomlaboard is for you.
As you know, in a bridged-SMF you (as user) have to set your preferred language in your profile preferences, this don't affects Joomla default language at all and vice-versa.
Take a look on this: www.78live.net
It's a Joomla 1.0.8 + Joomlaboard + Mambelfish + Community Builder almost fully integrated (sorry, but I didn't planned to have chinese visitors.. so there's only european languages to choose )
Here: www.string.is.it there's some Japanese (just for take a look at UTF-8 results)
Ciao!

Re: SMF -> Joomlaboard conversion
Excuse my "newbieness" here but where do you have to run the script from to do the conversion? Also, I assume that the connection details and database in the mysql.php file is for the SMF database? Is this right?
Thanks.

Place both files in the SMF root and launch the convertor one.
Don't forget to backup, first !!!

This is a very important point (with the other one regarding layouting).. but you've waked up my sleeping "upgrading syndrome" ..
Anyway... many thanks..

Re: SMF -> Joomlaboard conversion
So, for the converter to work do the Joomla and SMF tables have to be in the same database? I have them on separate databases and when I tried to run the converter, I basically get an error telling me that 'jos_sb_categories' doesn't exist in my SMF database (which of course, it doesn't).maxdg wrote:That's right.tonybone wrote: Excuse my "newbieness" here but where do you have to run the script from to do the conversion?

There's a link to the original article in my post... I can't say much more about this.

Re: SMF -> Joomlaboard conversion
I unfortunately switched from Simpleboard to SMF, and while SMF is by far the more superior program in way of Forums are concerned, they are not good for those integrating into CB, or CBE... Unfortunately, it's even worse if you using a bridge too, because the search engines did NOT pick my forum posts because I set up the bridge to wrapp it, so it's .... a loose loose... Im going back to Joomlaboard because I have 16K members and I can't continueally be having trouble any more...
Oh yeah, also the SMF< CB login module does not take advantage of new the login bug fixes present in Joomla 1.0.8 so AOL users and others behind proxies will have ALOT of trouble.....

Re: SMF -> Joomlaboard conversion
Maybe "he" wants you to manually generate your old-SMF category tree in new-JB.
This is a conditio sine-qua-non for this script to works..
(it isn't written somewhere?)

Re: SMF -> Joomlaboard conversion
I seem to recall seeing this about 6 months ago when I first looked into the conversion, but I didn't see it anywhere when I looked this time. So I need to recreate the forum categories by hand in Joomlaboard and then make the conversion. Got it. I'll give it a shot.

Re: SMF -> Joomlaboard conversion
conversion from smf 1.1.rc2 to joomlaboard is perfect
see it on http://www.turbocashtraining.co.za/joomla
first you convert smf to phpbb2 (you have to install phpbb2 on same dbase as joomla. and load the ucs convert as well as the smf converter)
then you do the phpbb2 to joomlaboard converter
perfect

Re: SMF -> Joomlaboard conversion
Hi,
I am new at Joomla and are preparing a site that has multilanguage support (Joomfish) together with Joomlaboard and I saw that maxdg's site had that, so my question is how do I do this?

When you have successfully completed your Joomfish installation the only thing to do is to popolate the /languages folder for each component you want to be Joomfished..
Joomfish do the rest, so when you clic a flag it calls the appropriate language.php file.

Just one more question, how did you get the flags (instead of drop downlist) on your site 78live?
I have Joomfish and Multilingual aware Main Menu installed.
