Question SMF 1.1.10 to Joomla 1.5.15 and Kunena 1.5.6

I have been trying to convert SMF 1.1.10 to a clean install of Kunena 1.5.6/Joomla 1.5.15 with the convertor file found in the topic Convert SMF 1.1.10 to Kunena 1.5.6 , all posts, topics and users seem to migrate fine (1500 users, 55000 post).
I can see all the posts in Kunena, but when I add a new topic, or want to delete a topic, or use the recount category stats button in the backend (because all the boards show as last post today at time of conversion), Kunena mysteriously deletes over 60% of the topics and messages, thus leaving me with a virtually empty forum...
Anyone any idea or suggestions or encountered a similar problem?

Hello,

Maybe this migration script is broken, if you do a clean install of kunena without imported anything, do you have the sames issues ?

No that problem only occurs after migration.

I am having an issue with the referenced script and am receiving the following error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER in /home/content/d/e/d/ded/html/smf/mysql.php on line 8

Obviously, the database is temporarily on a GoDaddy shared server. Therefore, it does not use local host. On line 8, here is my details that I have entered. Please verify whether I must enter configuration details on Line 8 or on another line. Here is what I have.

Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

Just to be clear: Kunena does not delete any topics - there is no delete statement in our code other then the delete function that asks you if you really want to delete something.
This is a migration script issue. You should work with the author of that script to get it fixed. Migrations of more than 10,000 posts can time out easily if the script does not account for that. If that were to happen you would only get a portion of the topics.

After migration I see all topics and posts. Even the post count in Kunena is exactly the same as in SMF. I can even read all the topics and post, even 24 hours after the migration.
But then when I add a topic or delete a post/topic or use the recount category button 60% disappears.
I checked Kunena mysql tables after conversion to see all posts are there. But again, after I add a topic or delete a post/topic or use the recount category button 60% disappears, even more than 24 hours after using the migration script. And in the tables in mysql all posts are gone...
I have tried several times with a clean installation, have downloaded joomla / kunena / migration script several times, because I thought may be something got corrupted there, but it makes no difference, each time everything migrates fine, but then I loose 60%...
