How to convert MyBB to IPB?

[Jay]

I am currently trying to convert Graphics Nation to IPB. I am currently lost and do not know what to do to convert it. 🙁

Can anyone help me?

 

[JayJACKEL!]

Maybe try a myBB > phpBB converter,

Then using a phpBB > IPB?

I can't seem to find any free scripts for IPB.

I have the converter that I downloaded from the clients area on the IPB site, and I've installed it all into my ACP. I just don't know what to do from there. I keep getting a error looking like:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/******/public_html/******/admin/applications_addon/ips/convert/sources/lib_board.php on line 833

***** stands for hidden info.

IPB is a paid forum software. I am not sure if the mybb merging tool does IPB.

You can merge from IPB to MyBB with the merger, but not the other way around. It appears Dy.namik has already gotten it.

Did you contact IPS support like I told you to this morning? They know what they're doing.

I've just submitted one. Thought i'd get a faster reply here.

Remove the ; from that line. Should read:

$aliases = explode(',', $row['bbcode_aliases'])

Should work as other lines with explode that look similar doesn't have the ;

Thats exactly what IPB told me a few days back. 😛

Thanks for the help though! 😀
