	Hi Dandello, I have tried today times, my forum in the test forum to convert. It worked all but the messages. Here about 93000 entries were made only 348. Does not work. After that I get the following error: Quote: An Error Has Occurred. Use of uninitialized value in split at Sources/Load.pm line 435. Of course, 2.7.00, Build 1853 was used.

	The error with Load is related to the moderators (if any) assigned to boards. I should have a fix in the SVN tomorrow. The problem with converting messages could have any number of causes and may or may not be related to the problem that you discovered in Load. Monday I'll see if I can get a backup of your main forum and try to convert it where I can watch what's happening.

	I have an idea what may have gone wrong with the messages. Please look at the forum.control and forum.master files for both your old and new forums. There should be the same number of items in the old forum.control and in the new one. Same for the the old and new forum.master. The lines will look different because 2.7.00 stores the forum.controls as a hash rather than converting the data repeatedly into a hash. But there should be the same number of items in each file. If there are not the same number of lines, then I think I know where the problem is. You can temporarily fix the problem in Load.pm by commenting out (put a # in front of it) 'use warnings;' near the top of the file.

The access data you have yes, they also apply to the test forum. Forum master and Forum control are not alike. Even significantly different. If you need FTP access, I send this by PM. I made fresh backups

	Figured out what happened and need to test a fix. (Also an error was found in creating boards in new categories. Expect that fix in the SVN tomorrow -Admin/ManageBoards.pm)

	Many Thanks. If everything then works properly, the German files are also ready to test. Then I go to the mods and then the help files.

	First, I really want to thank you for giving me a copy of a BIG board to test. Lots of odd errors showed up that don't appear in non-converted Forums. The SVN is now at 1855 - the changed files are: Admin/ManageBoards.pm Convert2x.pl Sources/BoardIndex.pm Sources/Load.pm ConvertLang.pl is having problems converting such a large forum so I have to reconfigure it so it doesn't time out. (Oddly enough, it's timing out on Members. ) Edited: Also, moving over the added smilies to their new folder and getting them to show up is going to require some changes to the Smilie manager. Better to find out now.

	You can access my test forum at any time. The FTP data you have now. Here you can not destroy anything. I'll test the new build tomorrow and then report it. I do not understand the last sentence so completely. Has the server time not been enough for Timeaut? I can change that. I have now installed nginx before Apache. I test it.

I have now installed nginx before Apache. I test it. This is a problem on my testbed server. Also, I had having trouble directly downloading Members and Messages (good thing you had zipped up copies of those folders). I always do my testing on my testbed server. That way I can test edits fast. I also figure if it runs on Apache 2.4 on Win7 with lots of stuff running in the background, it should run on almost 'real' server.

Better to find out now. I do it. The Smilie Manager (and the Converter) need some tweaks to accomodate smilies that were added the old-fashioned way (by just uploading them to the yabbfiles/Smilies folder). I'll get that sorted out later today or tomorrow.

	Okay, the smileys are not that important yet. The conversion seems to work completely. ConvertLang not, I get there only a white page, no server timeout. I then simply canceled ConvertLang. However, posting is not possible, I get then the following error message. Quote: An Error Has Occurred. Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/Sources/Post.pm line 2552. If you need my server to test, then always like. It is best configured. Yabbtest is there to test. It only has to remain in the maintenance mode when data from the main forum are on it. Google is very fast.

	For testing: In Post.pm find Code if ( $curuser ne $username && $notify_type == 2 ) { load_user($curuser); if ( ${ $uid . $curuser }{'notify_me'} == 1 \|\| ${ $uid . $curuser }{'notify_me'} == 3 ) replace with Code if ( $curuser && $curuser ne $username && $notify_type == 2 ) { load_user($curuser); if ( ${ $uid . $curuser }{'notify_me'} && ( ${ $uid . $curuser }{'notify_me'} == 1 \|\| ${ $uid . $curuser }{'notify_me'} == 3 ) ) ConvertLang.pl needs some reorganizing - I know it works when there aren't a lot of members or message and I know it worked when that Converter glitch took out almost all the topics on your test board.

	That error is directly related to the ConvertLang failing and possibly corrupting the member files. I also discovered that ConvertLang was throwing hidden errors related to Load.pm. Find Code (Perl) foreach ( split /\//xsm, ${ $uid . $_ }{'mods'} ) { if ( $_ eq $user ) { return 1; } } # check if user is member of a moderatorgroup foreach my $testline ( split /\//xsm, ${ $uid . $_ }{'modgroups'} ) And replace with Code (Perl) foreach ( split /\//xsm, ${ $uid . $_ }{'mods'} \|\| q{} ) { if ( $_ && $_ eq $user ) { return 1; } } # check if user is member of a moderatorgroup foreach my $testline ( split /\//xsm, ${ $uid . $_ }{'modgroups'} \|\| q{} ) also I'm pretty sure Code (Perl) if ( !$testline \|\| $testline eq $_ ) { return 1; } should actually be Code (Perl) if ( $testline && $testline eq $_ ) { return 1; }

	I am in the process of refactoring ConvertLang - but it's going to be a while.

	I'm currently in the process of splitting the copy functions into a different script. It's going to be a while until I get it all working right - it's just not refreshing properly. You might, however, try setting the $max_process_time in ConvertLang to something like 60 or even more.

	That worked. I have set the $max_process_time to 300. It is also the minimum time of Apache. Look at the test forum. Edited: Uppps. No, but not. Although in Footer and Admin-Center everything is in ISO, but not the contributions. And another error message, if you want to rebuild the Attachments. Quote: Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Argument "Undertaker" isn't numeric in addition (+) at /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/Admin/Attachments.pm line 68 After recounting the topics and number of contributions, this message appears Quote: Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Use of uninitialized value $threadline[8] in pattern match (m//) at Sources/System.pm line 121. Rebuild the membership list Quote: Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Use of uninitialized value $INFO{"actiononfinish"} in string eq at /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/Admin/Maintenance.pm line 760. Rebuild notification files Quote: Nicht abgefangene Fehler : Can't use string ("356Bertg61") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/Admin/Maintenance.pm line 1089. Bertg61 is a member. But what does 356 mean? There is still much to be done, we'll tackle it.

	It's 9:30 AM where I am. But I just uploaded the newest batch of fixed files to the SVN - now to try to figure out why ConvertLang doesn't refresh like it's supposed to. Also, I noticed that rebuild notifications truncates the member's board notifitations list.

	Okay - where I'm at: I created a new script that does the 'copy to ConvertLang'. It does the copying in a separate window in batches of 500 rather than trying to use javascript to keep track of time and rows and other stuff. The javascript just wasn't working to refresh the page like it was supposed to. Now I have to get ConvertLang cleaned up and working with the new script. I also have to fix the instructions for Convert2x - The new version uses the same system of Convert folders to copy over Attachments, PMattachments, and member Avatars. (Need to add Smilies to that list.)

	The ones in Load, MailMembers, and Ban are new - the one in Maintenance doesn't show up in my install but should have been taken care of. EventCalSet isn't throwing any errors for me. You can set your text size during posting AND in Profiles under Options. The little function that only changed the size inside the posting box now sets the text size for reading posts as well.

	You're right. The errors do not appear during a fresh installation. I have just re-uploaded the test forum and found that new files with old ones were transferred, since I make transfer directly on the server. I will report later.

	I have reinstalled everything in the test forum. Everything works so far quite well. Some minor flaws are still present, but they are not a big problem anymore. I wanted to stop the maintenance mode very briefly, but then comes the following error message: Quote: Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Use of uninitialized value $ttsreverse in concatenation (.) or string at /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/Admin/NewSettings.pm line 824. I am concerned about this error message. If I delete this profile, the next one appears. Before this, however, I need to rebuild the membership list. Quote: Nicht abgefangene Fehler : Can't use string ("902Christian0202") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/Admin/Maintenance.pm line 1090. The error occurs when I want to rebuild the notification files. I am now times over the Settings.pm from the maintenance mode gone, the error remains. @ Dandello You can log in with your data also in the test forum, you have there also admin rights. Edited: Ok, after the conversion, all the unsupported errors are there again.

	I just discovered that not all the CBT files got transferred/converted on my last run. That may be part of your problem, too. Edited: And I just found one of the timeout problems - during Convert2x, if the Members or Messages folder has more in it than just the bare minimum number of files, the folder clean-out function hangs.

	So I had no timeout, but was not completely converted to ISO. Best, you can see it yourself in the test forum. Your access data you know yes yet. The best is simply to set a $ max_process_time to 300, then nothing can happen, even with very large forums. I see, it is still on 20. Apache can work off this without problems. An error message I still get: Quote: Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Exiting subroutine via last at /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/Admin/Maintenance.pm line 643 This message appears when I want to rebuild the member list. I have deleted the lock file in the variables before, the maintenance mode stopped and started. Immediately this message appears and the forum goes back to the maintenance mode, the lock file is rewritten. First, we should get the conversion completely. Feel free to work in the test forum as you need it. FTP and Admin rights you have. So we come on the right way. For today, however, is evening with YaBB for me.

	I do not know now whether that is so wanted, but the general forum settings are not converted. So you should set before the conversion, otherwise something will be lost (see my signature).

	More changes for 2.7.00 - natively, all board IDs are going to be lower case AND it will check against other board names lower case to lower case. Also, both BoardConvert and Convert2x will list any boards at risk if moving to a Windows server (or if files are to be edited on a Windows machine). Convert2x will not change any file or board names during conversion.

	Okay, I've been sorting out some odd issues with converting your forum and traced back a lot of the errors I was getting to one thing: a board with the ID 'admin'. 2.7.00 simply can not properly handle a board with that ID. 'Admin' is okay if it's converted from an old forum but 'admin' caused all the board functions to mess up. I'm thinking (and hoping that 'admin' is the only name that glitches up) that a fix needs to be written into Convert2x.

	I still have a whole list of errors. Many, however, will probably be gone when the conversion is finished. However, one is very important, it could also be related to the conversion. The heading " отдел "К" can be opened, but nothing is displayed (see test forum). Can this be due to the Cyrillic script? An error message appears (not always)? Quote: Use of uninitialized value within %grp_nopost in array dereference at Sources/Display.pm line 361. The amount of topics and contributions is displayed correctly in the footer. If it is not the conversion, then make it later. The conversion has now only once.

	I discovered an issue with converting the Mod and Mod group lists for boards and categories. I'll be working on that later today. Also the Permission lists need to be refactored for 2.7 (And I actually got the Quote: Exiting subroutine via last at /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/Admin/Maintenance.pm line 643 error on a test run last night.) And the problem in Display appears to be directly related to the conversion issue BUT could also be invoked if removing a no_post group goes badly.

	Update Aug 23^rd, 2017 at 6:43pm My testing version of Convert2x is now giving a good conversion from 2.6 to 2.7, 'rebuild message index' is behaving, 'rebuild memberlist' is behaving BUT 'rebuild notices' in the Admin Center is trashing the vars files. I'm not going to update the SVN until this is sorted.

	Just update the SVN. Convert2x and ConvertLang still need some language reworked and need to be refactored but I managed to get ain install/full conversion done in under 20 minutes. (This doesn't include copying over all the attachments.) Warning: Do NOT USE Rebuild Notifications - I do not yet know if this is an old bug that is just now raising its ugly head or a new one but it's not properly processing the user files. Oh, and the issue with Signatures and such displaying in tiny print - that comes from the fact that 2.7 is in HTML 5 and uses percentages for most of the font sizing. It seems that old font-sizing isn't converting properly. You'll need to edit the item to fix it.

	Forget the conversion. I have made a mistake. It worked. What is not yet working properly is the language conversion. Here was converted correctly to ISO, http://yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1248439145/2#2 But not here. http://yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1264357835/0# Edited: I tried to change the post, because there was an error message. Again, and then all characters were shown correctly according to ISO. It's strange, what's going on. The error message had to do with this. Here was not converted to ISO and I can not change it either. http://yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?board=Ukraine error message: Quote: Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Wide character in print at ./Sources/Subs.pm line 300. So we can say the conversion works, The ConvertLang does not yet. The error could however occur at the forum by a wrong character. This is now to be found. I think I got it. Anywhere where on the main page this character is, can not be converted. e.g.: Quote: Scam aus Russland, versuchter & erfolgreicher Scam Geldwäsche mit Muli Bride-Scam only Quote: Ukrainische Scammer, Translationscam, versuchter & erfolgreicher Scam Bride-Scam only I've tried to change it, no chance. I think I'll make it directly on the server, which should work. What is your opinion? Quote: Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Use of uninitialized value $category in string ne at /var/www/vhosts/yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/Admin/ManageBoards.pm line 1454.

	Let's go to the members area: Here is sorted initially by date of registration. OK. I go on sorting by posts, this works. I go to name or position, I get the following error: Quote: Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten.

I actually got the error from http://yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1264357835/0# to show up on my test install. It looks like there's something in that file that the Perl encode/decode couldn't handle - the converted output actually looked like it had been processed multiple times. However, when I opened the original file from ConvertLang/Messages and converted it to UTF-8 using Notepad++, that worked. (I'm still trying to find the character(s) that messed up.) This is one of the reasons I recommend keeping the ConvertLangs data intact until you're absolutely sure everything converted okay. All the '&' showing in the browser should be being converted to '&' . You should be able to check by looking at the 'Page source' through your browser. (And it was all good when I looked)

	I'm looking into the conversion issue for that one post. The complicating factor is ISO-8859-1/ansi isn't rendered as true ISO-8859-1 by browsers. They call it ISO-8859-1 or ansi but it's actually win-1252 which is just enough different to make things horribly complicated. And Perl's encode/decode doesn't handle win-1252 at all well when told to use that encoding instead of ISO-8859-1. Officially there should be only a few differences between win-1252 and ISO-8859-1 but the official list of differences doesn't reflect reality as the rest of us know it. My current list of things that don't convert right: Code sub ansi { my ($line) = @_; $line =~ s/\x20AC/€/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x82/&sbquo;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x83/&fnof;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x84/&bdquo;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x85/…/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x86/&dagger;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x87/&Dagger;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x88/&circ;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x89/&permil;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x8a/&Scaron;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x8b/&lsaquo;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x8c/&OElig;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x8e/&Zcaron;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x91/‘/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x92/’/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x93/“/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x94/”/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x95/•/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x96/–/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x97/—/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x98/&tilde;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x99/™/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x9a/&scaron;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x9b/&rsaquo;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x9c/&oelig;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x9e/&zcaron;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\x9f/&Yuml;/gxsm; $line =~ s/\xA0/ /gxsm; $line =~ s/\xe9/é/gxsm; $line =~ s/\xa9/©/gxsm; return $line; } The above list was gleaned from one of my other boards where I know for a fact that people directly copy and paste from Word for Windows. I'm betting there's at least one more for the list in that post.

	The decision was made to finally convert all of YaBB to UTF-8 because then everybody can read what the Russians are writing when the Russian Language pack is installed and they're using it and you're not. (Also, it will be needed when YaBB finally gets all the data into proper databases.) From what I can tell without running a full blown html checker on the testbed forum, that one message is the one with issues. When looking at the raw text, it looks okay. But perl says it's not okay. Also, there are characters in the converted text that should have been converted to html entities but weren't. So I'm tracking down some other possible fixes.

	A fix for the weirdness in that one file: In Subs.pm find Code (Perl) print $output or croak "$croak{'print'} output"; add above it Code $output =~ s/[^\x00-\xFF]//gxsm; This strips out any characters that didn't convert properly. (And chances are, we were looking at a hidden character that shouldn't have been there in the first place.)

	The problem of Rebuild Notices is driving me buggy - I've just taken a backup of BoardMod so I can use that data to do more testing. (Another big forum, lots of members and probably lots of notices.) On the online Strict 2.7 Build - not enough members to test and that one only has a couple of boards with board notices and those don't process at all.

	I have now reset the test forum. Also included the change from answer 87. And what happens: Quote: An Error Has Occurred. Use of uninitialized value within %grp_nopost in array dereference at Sources/Load.pm line 865. I'm not coming to the board index. Can this come from the Ansi characters? If so, then I have to edit the main forum "anti-scam". This is a lot of effort, but feasible. Even error also appears when I want to rebuild the member list. And also, if I want to rebuild the notification files. What is wrong? That is the question!!! I'm sure I did not make a mistake with the conversion. Also the sides refresh I have done every time. The conversion went smoothly. I have noticed everything at the most. What surprised me, however, the whole conversion went fast. Not even two minutes and she was through. And at such a great forum? All data are available, but have they been converted correctly?

	If you're running the conversion over a forum that's already been processed, along with Convert2x.lock and ConvertLang.lock, remove ConvVar.txt if it exists. I suspect that ConvertLang actually skipped a lot of the conversion - I know it skipped Variables. For the short term, copy the contents of ConvertLang/Variables/ to Variables. For next update on Convert2x I'll take care of that text size issue. And rebuilding the notifications is still returning trashed vars files. This has nothing to do with the language conversion and I'm still trying to track down why the problem is occurring. (I know where it's happening, I know what is happening, I don't know why it's happening.) I'm in the process of getting BoardMod running on my home server so I have a second big board to test with.

	Would not it be better to first make the conversion? It was, as I can assess, only the messages are not converted. I can not otherwise test the translations and there are still a lot of errors.

	One of the things I'm going to have to add to the Convert utilities is a file that lists the boards that will lose data when moved to a Windows platform. Also, BoardMod had at least one instance of member files with the same problem, so those members affected will also have to be noted. Once that's done, I can work on a checker for Convert2x to check for members with missing essential data - like e-mail addresses - and list those members. This may take me a bit of time. Also, the list of 'recommended things to do after conversion' should go into the Admin Helps (In fact, the entire 'how to convert' should go into Helps as I suspect no one actually reads the QuickStart - and the current one is already out of date. : ) I added a 'no e-mail' fix to MemberList.pm (not in the SVN yet) but it doesn't fix the underlying problem. I could add a checker to Rebuild MemberList but this problem should only be showing up on forums that have imported data that goes way back. (Maybe this checker should be a Mod? Maybe all the Conversion utilities should be in a Mod? - Just thinking out loud here.)

It would not be bad, because there are many in Germany who can not speak English and the installation routine is only in English. As a mod you could also do this in German. But does not that make a lot of effort?

We'll need good instructions for Help. Within Convert2x and ConvertLang, there aren't all that many language bits. I was actually thinking of security when I suggested the conversion utilities be installed separately. I've seen too many installs where the admin didn't use those files and didn't remove them. Potentially very dangerous. On a related note, it's pretty obvious that there were plans to have translations for the QuickStart. Moving the Conversion instructions into Help should make translating QuickStart a lot easier. (When we get there - it hasn't happened in years and years so there's obviously no rush. )

	Well, we're trying to make the conversions as easy and complete as possible as 2.7 is going to be the jumping off point for moving to storing data in mySQL. But it's going to take time and hurrying just adds mistakes. (I also spotted some 'file collision' issues with Attachments and Windows. So Convert2x is getting bigger and bigger. )

	The size issue on items with their sizes set the 'old way' - Maximum Font size and Minimum Font size didn't get converted - size 6 should now be 50 and size 32 should now be about 265;

	I'm looking forward to the next update in the SVN. Then I can say more. All members without mailaddress I have deleted. This should not cause any difficulties. I am working on the translation. There are still a few errors in the speech. Not so tragic, but annoying.

	Got a good Conversion on BoardMod. New files in the SVN. This version saves a list of the problem files and users without e-mails. Also had to add a fix for people who thought '~~~~~~' was a good password. (Kind of indicates someone who never logged in after the Forum moved to encrypted passwords.)

	The error in BoardIndex relates to the brdpics.db in Boards - there should be 3 items in each line. The problem with Attachments has to be related to the problem I mentioned with your attachments.txt which was converted to attachments.db. (The original file had three bad lines that had to be hand edited for it to work in my last test install.) I'll do another test install in the morning. (I also found an issue with getting the forumstart date properly formatted. Some of these issues date back to the original Convert way back when.)

In my opinion, the covertion was much too fast. For a forum of this size it should take a while. But we are on the right track.

	On my home machine, it takes me 20 minutes to do a full start to finish import/conversion using your data. BoardMod took a little longer - it has fewer posts but more members and more attachments. The Attachments log doesn't need conversion, it just gets renamed from attachments.txt to attachments.db - but the copy in the data you sent me, attachments.txt has errors in lines 1, 2, and 570. (You'll need to check your backups to see when those errors crept in.) I added a checker to see if brdpics.db exists and if it does, it gets copied and \|default\| changed to \|Forum default\| to match the name of the default template, otherwise brdpics.db gets built from board data. Remember - on converting to 2.7 you lose all your old templates as none of them will work with 2.7.

	And I'm getting a 500 error on running 'remove old attachments' Edited: I'm also getting the same error with your data in a 2.6.12 build. Edited: I THINK the problem may have to do with the fact that the rebuild attachments log function doesn't check against the actual file list in the Attachments folder.

	I'm still having problems with getting remove old attachments to work - I'm almost at the point of putting the wretched function in a window to watch it. Rebuild attachment log should remove references to attachments that are no longer in the Attachments folder but isn't - this may or may not be related to Windows' case insensitivity. I may just have to come back to this later.

	Okay - found some interesting glitches related to 'view attachments'. I suspect (hope) that the problem with the various attachment cleanup functions are related to 'file collisions' in the Board names in the data I'm using. (I'm also wondering how/if those functions actually worked in the first place when dealing with lots of data. There's some seriously WTF code in there.)

Because of me this does not have to be, I know what I have to take care of (only then did not know it). But the other users? When translating, I have to work partly with ANSI.

	Code   is easier to find when searching. It's also the version everyone expects to see and that YaBB uses internally. Using ANSI during the translation process isn't a problem. It's just that the language files have to be converted to UTF-8 before YaBB 2.7 can use them.

Because of me this does not have to be, I know what I have to take care of (only then did not know it). But the other users? The problem with NOT installing Mods before doing anything else is that the changes and additions the Mods made (like adding items to vars files) won't be there and that data will be removed. YaBB keeps lists of items that should be in places like board info and vars files. If an item isn't on the list, it gets removed. Now, for such Mods like display name history, if that Mod isn't installed before importing, it has to be installed before any vars file is opened/saved. I am thinking of adding more functions to the BoardConvert utility - like the possible data loss warning list when moving to Windows and a Mod list checker. This would mean that the BoardConvert utility would have to be run on the old forum before an import/conversion. On a related note - I'm checking into how, in your attachments log, there came to be the same attachment in multiple places. (This isn't a case-insensitivity issue. Attachments.pm will now be checking file names against a list - which is case-sensitive - of what's in yabb2/Attachments rather than just trusting 'is it in the folder?' as Windows gives a false positive on that.)

	Code $germanfalngver @germanfalngmods $germanfalngmods The highlighted section refers to the folder name converted to lowercase for all the files. (But I suspect that was what you were actually confirmation of.) But I'm actually not sure it's really necessary as with the new system, only the admins should ever see that actual folder name. Changing the 'screen' name in the Mod for %lngs might be good enough. Code <add before> $lngs{'German'} = 'Deutsch Formal'; </add before> There's also the minor issue of converted forums where they were using Language packs with the older folder names and so a lot of members will be discovering they have to change their language choice after an upgrade. (Like yours. : )

	There are updates in the 2.7 SVN - Attachments.pm has gotten rebuilt and now stores actual lists of the files in the Attachments Folder and PMAttachments folder to check against. The Manage Attachments screen also now tells you how large the largest real file is and how old the oldest real file is. Convert2x also saves a file into Variables (datacheck.txt) that lists all the potential 'trouble' files - Members without emails, possible duplicated Boards and attachments. I'm going to spend a little bit of time today trying to figure out why the current Russian Pack does weird things to the AdminCenter. Tomorrow I'll start pulling out the language sections of Convert2x and ConvertLang into their own lang files.

	Deleting members has nothing to do with getting rid of bad data with the attachments log or bad data in message files. (And the errors in Maintenance and Attachments deal with bad data in those other places.) (And the problem in Display is also an attachment issue. Although why that one triggered for you and not for me is a mystery.) For Display add Code $mfn \|\|= q{}; just above the Code chomp $mfn; on line 1005. Edited: The best I think we can do is add more checkers for bad data - Convert2x doesn't check anything in the .txt files, it just copies the files over based on the info gathered in the Boards import without any changes and the Language conversion just converts ANSI to UTF-8. The attachments log just gets renamed when copied. I am guessing the .txt file with the bad data doesn't trigger anything on my testbed due to the file name collisions in Boards. But I also didn't find anything in the 'raw' files I have. What the error in Maintenance is actually saying: the last line in *.txt doesn't have a number in the 3rd field. I can add a checker for that.

	For the problem with Maintenance and Messages: In Error.lng (all versions) add Code $error_txt{'bad data' } = q~File with bad data~; above the 1; at the bottom. In Maintenance find Code my $lastpostdate = sprintf '%010d', $lastinfo[3]; And add above it Code if ($lastinfo[3] =~ /\D/xsm) { fatal_error( 'bad data', "$datadir/$thread.txt", 1 ); } This will cause the Rebuild Message Index to throw an error when it runs across a last line with bad data (specifically, when the 3rd field (first field is 0) has anything but numbers in it. It will tell you what file has the problem so you can fix it or remove that line (by hand).

	In Attachments.pm find Code foreach (@attachments) { my $space = ( split /[\|]/xsm, $_ )[5]; $attachment_space += $space; $attachment_space = number_format($attachment_space); } replace with Code foreach my $i (0 .. $#attachments) { my @check = split /[\|]/xsm, $attachments[$i]; if (scalar @check != 9) { fatal_error( 'bad data', "attachments.db bad line $i", 1 ); } my $space = $check[5]; if ($space =~ /\D/xsm \|\| $space eq q{} ) { fatal_error( 'bad data', "attachments.db line $i", 1 ); } $attachment_space += $space; $attachment_space = number_format($attachment_space); } Like the new check in Maintenance, this one checks to make sure the field it's looking for has only numbers in it. If not, it throws an error telling you what line the problem is on in attachments.db (You already know what file you need to look in.) I should probably add a check to make sure each line in attachments.db is exactly 9 fields long. Edited: field number checker added above. Chances are the check for length will catch the $space error first.

	And just so you don't think that the problem is with 2.7 - old YaBB ignored a lot of bad data when it crept in and since the bad data was ignored, it couldn't be fixed internally or send the admin warnings when things weren't right. YaBB 2.7 catches all of those. So do the newer versions of Perl. Also, when removing a member - only Memberlist and Memberinfo get edited when the member files get removed. That ex-member's data is still in all the posts they made and in attachment.db if they uploaded any attachments. Therefore, even though an error in a *.txt or in attachments.db might have a member's ID in it, the problem is actually something else entirely.

	Okay, in Display.pm find Code $attach_count{$atfile} = $atcount; and add above it Code $atcount \|\|= 0; This will force the download count to be 0 if there's no number. I think if you look at the raw data in attachments.db, you may find most of the lines in your file end with \| instead of \| and a number. You may have to open your attachments.db in a spreadsheet - replace all the \| with a tab (\t) so you'll be able to manipulate the data (or zip up the old txt file and the new .db file and sent them to me so I can run a comparison in a spreadsheet - but there is definitely something off with those files and it seems to be getting worse. Also, if your Convert2x created a Variables/datacheck.txt file - zip that up and send it along.

Quote: File with bad data attachments.db bad line 68358 It's dumb, but try adding a linebreak after the last item. It's remotely possible that when the file gets read into the array, it's not reading that last line as finished. And if not all the attachments are getting transferred - you may have to zip up that folder and upzip it in the new install. (I'll be testing on the BoardMod Mirror next week.)

	So I'm also a little idiot. If I had first in the mainforum the maintenance mode go through and then only the necessary files from the main forum to the test forum, everything would have looked better and many errors would not show up. Two errors still appear, but my opinion is not the software. I am now looking at what I still find there with the help of your debugger. What I noticed, however, in some rubrics was not sorted by "last post", although I have set it so. Can you look in the test forum.

This error appears only once and you do not get to the board index. If I reload the page, the board index appears as if nothing had happened. $boardv can legitimately be blank - but I don't why your system is throwing a hissy and mine doesn't. The error clears up because the Variables/user.log gets rewritten everytime someone enters the forum or looks at something. In BoardIndex find Code foreach (@logentries) { ( $name, $date1, $last_ip, $last_host, undef, $boardv, undef ) = split /[\|]/xsm, $_, 7; Add after Code $boardv \|\|= q{}; Quote: Quote: An Error Has Occurred. Use of uninitialized value $boardname in concatenation (.) or string at Sources/Load.pm line 442. This is going to be due to bad data in forum.master. There's a board in there that doesn't have data in the first field. (look for '$board{'admin'}' as that shouldn't be there in 2.7 But I also just noticed that data didn't transfer for admin/admin_fix into forum.control ) as a fix try: In Load.pm find Code my $boardname = ${$board{$i}}[0]; $mybrds .= qq~$boardname<br />~; return 1; replace with Code if (${$board{$i}}[0]) { my $boardname = ${$board{$i}}[0]; $mybrds .= qq~$boardname<br />~; return 1; } All of these, so far, have nothing to do with Mods. For whatever reason, your install is more sensitive to uninitialized values than mine - maybe it's a Perl difference or a Perl on Windows difference. But it isn't a bad thing. As I said before: old YaBB ignored a lot of things that should have thrown errors. 2.7 throws the errors. But once I see where the error message is pointing to I can see exactly what's happening and why.

	I also find it class, the YaBB 2.7 does not ignore the error. My server is running Debian, not Windows. I'm not stupid. Windows Server and you have already lost. The two error messages are gone. The only downside, some forums are not sorted by last post. Look here: http://yabbtest.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?board=LKV You have there also admin rights, so you can see it.

	No, it does not. Have I set up in the Admincenter on posts and then would like to switch to the member list on, for example, date, it always jumps back to posts. I can not imagine that you get anything else than in my test forum. I found out. The pulldown now irritates enormously.

	The pull down you're referring to is actually part of the search function and has been since at least 2.5. So you can look for a member who has 'something' in their screen name, user ID, or email and sort the results. To my knowledge pulldown has never sorted the full member list.

	I think I'm seeing the problem you're seeing - the sort for the search isn't staying to what was selected in the dropdown. (For whatever reason, when I do it, it reverts to 'Name' even though I know 'Posts' is supposed to be the sort.) Okay - now that I can see it, I can track it down. Edited: And I'm seeing the same issue here and in my 2.5 install which means this is actually a very old problem. You may actually be the first person to notice. OR the problem has to do with Perl being updated and behaving a little differently - but I doubt that. You're right - it's redundant and confusing (And when it confuses ME that's really bad.) All in favor of removing that dropdown...

I'll be working on UserSelect issues, removing googiespell (Spellcheck) and the redundant pull down in Memberlist today and tomorrow. Also, with any luck, multi-lingual capable Conversion Utilities - I have versions that are installed from a Mod zip that read from a language file. I'll post the English language changes later today. (Basically, with Convert2x as a Mod, the ConvertLang folders can be created by the script only if they are needed.) If I can get alternative installed languages to be selected by the Conversion utilities, then we can announce to YaBBForum the changes in 2.7 and upload everything to the SVN and ask for more testers.

	After all these years I'm still finding things in the English that leave me scratching my head - things that just don't make any sense but have been ignored for years and years - and this is after Derek (native English speaker) went over the English files. Part of the problem (according to my observation) - for years YaBB 'managers' have shown the attitude that once a version has been committed to a zip and offered on the YaBB Forum site - that version was written in stone and even getting a newer distribution zip onto the site for download was a chore. (And forget getting it onto the front page of the YaBB section at SourceForge.) There was also the attitude of 'it works on MY server so it ain't broke so why fix it?' For Perl Mongers, this attitude really showed when the guys were working on 3.0 - people made observations concerning long standing bugs and the coders ignored the bug fix requests. They were building a 'new YaBB' on a foundation with cracks. This attitude included any translations. It 'works' so why fix it? So any errors that crept in stayed. What I'm trying to say with this rambling - YaBB is moving to storing everything in the SVN and not even offering zipped 'set in stone' distributions. This means that changes and bug fixes can happen relatively easily. With YaBMod, bug fixes can be installed easily. (We tried it with 2.6 and it worked - but the BoardMod program isn't easy to use - in fact, I need to make a new bug Mod fix for 2.6) SO, don't get stressed over it - a lot of the things you're seeing may have been there since the very first translation and there are always bugs and misspellings to catch. Perfection is an illusion - excellence is the best we can hope for. In the meantime, I apologise for making language changes while you were in the middle of translating. I will have the proposed changes to Admin.lng posted in a bit.

	Uff. This is a lot of tobacco. No one has written this to me yet, but I have guessed it. Do you know, I wanted to go to YaBB earlier with the translations, because always somewhere nuts was translated. It was very bad, I believe in YaBB 2.4. But "JetLi" has always ignored me. I then wanted to use an "SMF" forum and go away from YaBB. SMF even offers a converter, so you can convert YaBB forums and that works 100%. Mods without end and for all issues, and a SQL database which was promised to the YaBB users years ago, but never finished. In the CVS one can still see this corpse today. Many of the YaBB forums that I once looked at have migrated and that is really a pity. They will not come back. Today there are still three YaBB forums in Germany, which I oversee besides my. If you need excitation for mods, I can send you the link of SMF. The site is in English, you will be amazed. Well, I have been faithful to YaBB for 10 years and this will continue to be the same for the next 10 years (if I still survive). At the age of 63, you know that you have far fewer lives than behind you. Well, if I do not report more, then I am no longer. Then maybe my forum will die if nobody wants to continue. But still I am.

	Please don't leave. I think YaBB has a future as a truly multi-lingual forum platform. Just don't feel you have to do all this at once. Don't feel it has to be perfect. We're just doing a lot of work all at once that should have been done by previous coders a long time ago. The pressure I'm feeling - lot of YaBB forums are going to disappear because of coding issues that should have been taken care of a long long time ago. I don't want that to happen. mySQL is coming - and it will be on the 2.7 code. JonB and I have actually discussed this. The old 3.0 wasn't going to work - you can't build a new house on an old foundation with cracks. mySQL has some great features and I've converted nearly all my data driven sites to Perl using mySQL - they're not as portable as they used to be, but the speed is phenomenal.

	Oh, and I just uploaded the bug fixed files to the SVN - that converter isn't good so don't bother. With any luck I'll have a new section in the SVN for the new code later today or tomorrow. I'm having to rethink the 2.7 language sections in the SVN as well. But I also have some ideas for Setup.pl. (But not today.)

It should be Code (Perl) $boardv \|\|= q{}; Hold off on any more conversions until I've uploaded the new convert2x mod version to the SVN or use the attached zips - The German Language files are not yet compatible with this version of 2.7 and you have to install the Converter using YabMod.

I suspect the older converter in the SVN may not be behaving well with the new 2.7 code. Edited: And the problem is very probably the 'admin' to 'admin_fix' Board conversion. In forum.master make sure there's no '$board{'admin'} lurking in there - 2.7 chokes on that board name. Also check forum.control and forum.totals and make sure $control{'admin_fix'}and $totals{admin_fix'} have data. For those it's less critical but they still have the potential of choking BoardIndex. The version of 2.7 in the zip doesn't contain any of the conversion utilities - that's why you have to install those as a mod. I've gotten good conversions off the original data I have from your forum. It takes me 20 minutes or so from setup to finish import and conversion. I'm putting off converting the BoardMod mirror and the YaBB Forum mirror to 2.7 until we're more comfortable that the bugs have been dealt with.

	I'm not surprised it cleared after refreshing the page - on the refresh something was written to the users.log. Looking into a fix that doesn't break anything else. Edited: In BoardIndex.pm find Code (Perl) my ( $name, $date1, $last_ip, $last_host, $boardv ); replace with Code (Perl) my ( $name, $date1, $last_ip, $last_host, $boardv ) = ( q{}, q{}, q{}, q{}, q{} ); Find Code (Perl) $boardv \|\|= q{}; and remove it (it's extra now) Then find Code (Perl) $users .= " <i>($user_ip)</i>"; $guestlist =~ s/<i>$lookup_ip<\/i>,\s//oxsm; and add above it Code (Perl) $lookup_ip \|\|= q{}; These changes fixed the problem on my testing install. (Reproducible errors are the best kind of errors.)

	Make sure Import imported your 'number of attachments' - Go to Admin Center -> Advanced Settings -> File Attachments and set it. But I'm looking into it. Edited: In Post.pm find Code (Perl) $my_att_a = qq~ and replace with Code (Perl) $my_att_a .= qq~ It's in two places around line 1316 and line 1332. And this is why people other than coders need to test things.

	Try the one in the zip. Some of these things are touchier than others. And you not being a coder is a good thing.

	On #201 - In Sources/DateTime.pm find Code (Perl) if ( $newformat =~ m/\A(.?)\s$maintxt{'107'}\s(.?)\Z/ixsm ) { and replace with Code (Perl) if ( $newformat && $newformat =~ m/\A(.?)\s$maintxt{'107'}\s(.?)\Z/ixsm ) { There are at least 2 of these.

	Just uploaded all the current changes to the base 2.7 SVN. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a big 1x board to test on. (Plus I can't get the 1x attachments mod to work at the moment so I can't test that either. ) Now to take a break since I've been looking at code since 5 AM.

	I have a version of 1sp1.3 running for checking mods, so I know the basic data gets imported. I just have to trust that the loops behave like they're supposed to when there's big data. Plus there's the complication of the Mods - the original converter has references to mods that are no longer around and without those mods, it's hard to test whether that data get imported properly.

	I can not help you YaBB 1, I do not know. XTC may be it. Write him an email. If he can, he will help you. More, I can not disclose.

	I'm fairly confident the 1x converter will work on big boards. I'm hoping that at some point someone will volunteer a big 1x board for testing.
