Thanks for the code anyway as it’s really helped me sort my problem out. I’m probably going to further modify this script. I’ll make sure to post back with my results.

That said, SMF must have some way of knowing what users are banned (maybe a specific usergroup?), so it should only be a matter of a couple of SQL-statements to make them banned in EE after transferring.

btw – thanks for the solution to my link-problem :) I don’t think I’ll bother updating/testing this script, since as I stated it’s not a module release but just a fix for my specific problem. But now I know for next time. thanks.

The value to be used in the lines mentioned above would be 'Smf_import' which is the class name in the mod file, not the class name in the control panel file.</p> Sorry, just to make that a little clearer!

I had a similar problem while devoping another module. Hope that helps.

You can delete the existing topics in SQL this way:

DELETE FROM exp_forum_topics

That should be enough. If that doesn’t work you should start off with a clean EE install/forum install.
