Hi,

I know it's been asked several times, but not for several years. Has anyone got ANYTHING regarding a ikonboard (IBF) converter?

If someone has anything to at least get me started. I can program in Unix scripting, PHP, some C (mostly file manipulation). I'd be more than happy to share whatever I can come up with.

A little background. I help a friend by supporting some forums. Back in '01 when we started, the servers were FreeBSD and didn't have MySQL. We were using ikonboard with a DBM database files (.db) The current ISP for switched servers on us back in '07. After almost 2 weeks of runaround they finally put back a BSD server for our sites. Well, they did it again, and now they denying that there's been any change.

I downloaded the entire site. I was able to get it working on a BSD box I'd setup that morning, and it would not work on my usual Linux box. I've been able to convert the DBM to MySQL, now I need to convert it to FUD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
MPH

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

I can help you to fix it up.
However, I don't have an ikonboard forum to test against.
Can you please provide me with a dump of a (relatively small) forum?

If I can't find anything by this method I could create a board and try to fill in enough info to give you. My fear here is that I won't create a complete enough example to help.


That is exactly what I need! If it's not too difficult to install I might be able to do it myself. What versions of Ikonboard and FUDforum are you using?

How close is version 3 to being released? Please excuse my ignorance, but I only found this software last week.


We will release FUDforum 3.0.2 next week (provided we get all the known bugs sorted out before then).

I would not expect the message to be translated, but shouldn't the mailer convert the static content to the receivers preferred language?


Maybe, but it doesn't bother me and I'm not going to fix it. You are welcome to write a patch for it.

I forgot to ask, do you want an SQL dump, or a ikonboard backup? I'm guessing the dump.


I need a SQL dump as well as a zip of the files.

Regards.

Can you maybe upload it to a web server and mail the URL to me?
