So I have looked around and didn't find anything obvious but it there an official SMF to Elk convertor or is this the one that I need?
https://github.com/eurich/openimporter
the master repo is https://github.com/OpenImporter/openimporter ;) But both should work ..
Trying to convert forum with the file linked above and it keeps giving me this error when I try to do the conversion:
I have my ElkArte forum installed in
/var/www/elk
and my smf forum is in
/var/www/smf
and the convertor files, import.php, import_en.xml, smf2_importer.xml, are in the root of the elk folder. I enter the path for smf as
/var/www/smf
and enter my database password and click the Continue button and get the above error.
Does one of the forums need to be inside the other forum in a subfolder?
Just in case it matters....table prefix in the smf database is "smf_" and elk is "elkarte_".
Nevermind....I got it to work by installing ElkArte into a subfolder within the SMF root folder. Imported flawlessly after that.
