Boomer12 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hello, I've just bought IP.S (Board + Pages) and I'd like to import my data from Burning Board 4.1. So I installed the Converter in my IP.S 4.1 and tried to import and convert my data, but there is no option for Burning Board. In this thread, @Charlie said that it is possible to move and they created an importer. Does someone know where to find it? Cheers, jacboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevengeFNF Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I think the converter only works for IPB 3.4. I think you could convert it to IPB 3.4, then update to IPS 4.1 and then converge both 4.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer12 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Okay, that sounds awesome. I will take a look of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer12 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 @Mark said, that the only way is IP 3.4 --> Import --> Upgrade to IP 3.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSonic Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yes, that's currently the most common way for migrations... WBB -> IPB3.4 -> IPS4.1. That said, this shouldn't be a big deal. If you need help or want to write in german, feel free and drop me a note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomer12 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 @TheSonic told me that I need to set permission for the folders and files, otherwise I will get an 500 error in many cases. I will try this ou in the night or tomorrow, watching Netflix (The Mentalist :D) now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify my early confirmation that we support WBB 4.1.x to IP.Board 3.4.9. We just updated our 3.x converters to handle the db structure changes in WBB 4.1 in September. @jacboyIf adjusting the permissions doesn't work, support will be happy to get the upgrade straightened out for you. But, do enjoy the Mentalist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I just installed IP.S (need to fight vs. my brain for ignoring to say IP.B :D) 4.1 and made some changes and settings, so I don't want to re-install it, if I don't need it. When I understood correctly, there is no importer from 3.4 --> 4.1 - I need to make a full upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If you installed IPS 4.1 you can export your theme if you spent some time customizing your look and feel. You will need to install 3.4.9 from the client area and convert your WBB data. I have a guide available for 3.4.9 conversions: You can upgrade back to 4.1 after you are happy with the conversion process. If you exported your theme you can import it after the upgrade. If you have already gone through some or all of these steps (I'm not sure if you already did your conversion) you can disregard this advice, and for more in depth assistance support is always available.

Boomer12 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I already made the conversiom and the 3.4 Installation is in my /old directory, so I don't need to make a new report, just retry the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
