http://cvs.prohost.org/index.php you should find your converter on the right hand side.

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?

Unfortunately the only ones I have are quite large and I'm not sure the owner would like the dump being sent out as it contains account information.

If I could find where these functions are I could include them. Not knowing what they are for and what they do is the hard part. I guess I can just keep going backwards with the FUD releases and hopefully find them.

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.

Regards,

MPH

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?

I'm using Ikonboard 3.1.5 and I was testing the RC for release 3. I probably should use 2.9 for the production forums.

How close is version 3 to being released? Please excuse my ignorance, but I only found this software last week. I'm still trying to "catch up."

I will try and setup an Ikonboard this weekend. I'll let you know how I progress.

Thanks!

One last thing, I see you're and administrator, so if I may pose an off topic question, but still somewhat relevant to this thread. When I receive the email with your reply, the header and links are in what I'm guessing is your native language choice. Am I missing a setting somewhere or something? Obviously, I would not expect the message to be translated, but shouldn't the mailer convert the static content to the receivers preferred language?

Why is it adding a backslash for quotation punctuations now? Rolling Eyes Smile
Now their gone. I'm starting to whistle the theme from Twilight Zone. Very Happy

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

Regards,

MPH

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

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

Regards.

Sorry I kinda dropped off the face of the earth there. I spent the last few days getting the old forums back up and running. What a pain. I had to setup a FreeBSD server at home, download the entire the sites in their entirety, setup apache, access them export the DBM database, re install the boards, upload the backups, restore them, then find and transfer all the customizations. It was a lot harder that it sounds. Wink

I've got all the files, unfortunately, the zip file is 2.6MB even without the sql dump.

What next?

Thanks for you patience and time.
