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

Well the best laid plans of Mikes & men. I was able to swap days. (This has got my interest up).
I ran into a snag that I'm not sure I can get around. Here's the error I'm getting.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function qf() in /home/myhome/workspace/fud/ikon.php on line 156 I can't find any reference to a "qf" function in any of the files in the entire directory structure.
I get the same error using FUD2.8 or FUD3. Any Ideas what the qf function is supposed to do?
Addendum: I commented out the qf line now I get the same error for the "db_singleobj" function. Hmmmm

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?
Now their gone. I'm starting to whistle the theme from Twilight Zone.
I forgot to ask, do you want an SQL dump, or a ikonboard backup? I'm guessing the dump.
Regards,
MPH

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.
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.
