Title: Import members from another system
Post by: mebymyself on October 19, 2006, 04:34:53 PM

OK,

I have my new install of SMF 1.1 RC3 + TP 0.9.5

I want to transfer all users from my previous site to make their life easier :)
Currentlu I am using ASP.net based forum with MSSQL database at backend
The simple conversion is not possible i guess
I can export all needed info as CSV adn then import it to the members table in SMF database, right?

All I need to know which fields are critical.
Also I need help with convertion og dates to mySQL format

Thank you in advance

You'd be better off asking the people at SMF to figure this out for you.

people at SMF might not know what TP's requirments are. I dont want to break TP's functionality

TP works on SMF

so TP requirements are all dependant on SMF

Thus, u will have to check out SMF for DB conversions

u can even request one - someone may even have a convertor there :up:

TP Doesn't add anything to the members database tables just so you know.
