For birthdates prior to 1970, Niels Birthday MOD for phpBB2 calculates negative values.
Convertor to phpBB3 doesn't translate those negative values at all!

I joined a MODX file of the change to complete the convertor.

Hmm. I thought kellanved fixed this. Sorry for not reporting this (sooner), it must have been there since RC3 (at least).

Sorry but i'm not fluent at all in german language ^^

That link was only meant as a reminder for kellanved, since he posted in this thread.

I'll translate that specific post.

Try this:

Open phpBB3-RC3/install/convertors/functions_phpbb20.php

Find (~ Line 453)

Code: Select all: if (!$birthday || $birthday == 999999 || $birthday < 0)

replace with

Code: Select all: if (!$birthday || $birthday == 999999)

The person posting next reported, that this fixed the problem. I'm not sure if that has always to be the case. You may want to try this, too.

Regards.

ah ok,
well i doubt that quite short fix would be enough !?

In fact i've joined in my first post a zip of a modx with the change i've made that works for me :>

The problem is that PHP < 5.1 has a problem with negative arguments for gmdate() on some (Windows) systems.

So, on most OSes also negative values are working? Maybe you can do some OS checking. I actually see no reason why negative values have to be blocked on non-Windows systems. (Of course only when they are working.)
