here... a phpBB 1.4x to YaBB 1.4.1 converter...

hmmm, not sure what's causing it, but I think the timestamp is defined as a string. try replacing:

Code Select Expand

 $sql .= $objRow->ID_MEMBER . ", " . strtotime( $objRow->posterTime ) . ", ";

by:

Code Select Expand

 $sql .= $objRow->ID_MEMBER . ", '" . strtotime( $objRow->posterTime ) . "', ";

I'm getting there step by step ;-) It does convert message text as well now, but it stops somewhere around message 8000 and then comes up with:

Code Select Expand

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in f:\internet\easyphp\www\yabbse\phpbbtoyabb.php on line 370

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in F:\internet\EasyPHP\php\pear\PEAR.php on line 504
I imagine, I can alter some value somewhere in these files, but I don't see anything near line 370 that has to do with execution time. Same goes for the other file mentioned. Any ideas?

Other thing: I can change settings as long as I test these files locally, but what if the same happens when I run the script at my host? They won't let me alter things in their php-configuration I guess.

i was just wondering, the first php line is
require_once('DB.php');

i don't have that file, where does it come from?

Would it somehow be possible to make this converter do it's job into an existing database without deleting it?

Anyone got an idea how to resolve these maximum execution time problems?

You need to reset the timer I think.  Either look on php.net or check out like the install.php or upgrade.php scripts, I think they do it.

The cure is to add line near the start of the module - here is an example from RepairBoards that has the same problem - this disables the realtime PHP timer default:

//Make sure the user is an admin
is_admin();

//Added to allow larger forums to be repaired without timing out - JHS
set_time_limit(0);

It worked with the time-limit-thingie! Thanks!

Unfortunately another problem emerged: now I don't have admin-acces. My admin-account doesn't work with the original password and I can't get yabbse to mail me another one because locally I don't have sendmail installed. Tried to get the password from phpmyadmin, but that seems to be the encrypted version of the password, so it didn't work.

Any ideas on how to regain admin-acces?

Edit: found the solution myself. Did the trick with the adminrestore-mod!

maybe its just me, but the link is dead.    The converter would be great if there...

Why don't you try my converter?  It's for 2.x, but it may work better....
