Yabb gold 1.3 to YabbSE 1.5.1

[Datdrive]

Hi all, I ma trying to convert my Yabb 1.3 to YabbSE 1.5.1 and this is what I get.

Notice: Undefined variable: step in E:\Tony\cgi-bin\yabbse\converter.php on line 34

This program will convert an existing Y1G (<= SP1.2) board into an existing Yabb SE (1.5.1) install.
You must meet the following requirements to continue:

You must have YaBB SE installed. If it is not click here.
You must have YaBB SE installed with the same database prefix as you intend to convert to. i.e. if you are converting and intend to use the prefix yabbse2_ you must have, at some point, set up a YaBB SE install using that prefix. Otherwise, this converter will be trying to insert data into tables that don't exist.
You must have not have the encrypt passwords mod installed. If you must notify your users they will have to use the 'forgot password' function to reset their passwords. YaBB SE password encryption is incompatible with the encrypt password mod. Be prepared to change your passwords

Note: On Windows-based hosts, usernames are case-insensitive. This may result in some posts being mislabeled as 'Guest' postings when in reality, a user simply posted while logged in with a different case (i.e. alexandra as opposed to Alexandra) for more details on this, and ways to get around the problem, please visit the YaBB SE Community.

the converter works for converting YaBB 1G to YaBB SE

if u want to upgrade YSE 1.3 to 1.5.1, download the upgrade package for YSE 1.4.0 and 1.5.1
upload the upgrade.php from 1.4.0 and execute it
then upload the upgrade.php from 1.5.1, execute it, then upload all of the new source & language files

YaBB Gold 1.3 just came out.  I don't think a working converter has been made and tested yet.

True, I updated from Gold 1.1 to 1.2 and tried the converter. Then I got those error messages. SO i updated to 1.3 and tried again. Still got the same error messages.  Do I need to create the Categories and boards first in SE to match gold then run the converter? Or does the converter do all that?

Add this to the VERY top of the file. (converter.php)

<?php error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);?>

And try it again.

Try posting in the "Converter Help" board since the chance that you will get an answer is there much higher.
