This is a beta, don't just scrap your working forum at the end of the process!

I picked a local install of J! 2.5 and Kunena 1.7.2, created some content and, using the existing converter for Kunena 1.5, I tried to get something working for this software.

What the converter will convert:

  • Members
  • Categories
  • Boards
  • Topics/Posts
  • post attachments
  • Avatars (Gallery and user-uploaded)

What the converter will NOT YET convert:

  • PMs and Polls
(are there PMs and polls in Kunena? :o )

Known issues/limitations

  • Boards/Categories: Correct mapping only possible until first child board.
  • Notifications: no idea about this :P No notifications are converted
  • After the conversion is complete, make sure you run SMF's Routine maintenance tasks

How to use the converter
* Install SMF in the same server as Kunena, in a separate folder, in the same or different database
* If installed in different databases, make sure that the MySQL user from SMF is allowed to SELECT (at least) the database from Kunena
* Upload the files "convert.php" and "kunena_to_smf.sql" to your SMF folder
* Edit the file "configuration.php" and define the correct database information, as in the example below:
<?php
// Legacy configuration file
// If you're using Joomla 1.5 or newer, please add this file in your Kunena component directory, before running the converter

$mosConfig_db 'joomla';
$mosConfig_dbprefix 'jos_';

?>


* Upload the file to your Kunena Folder (usually components/com_kunena)
* Run the converter --> www.whatever-path-to-smf.com/convert.php
* After conversion login with your admin account. Make sure you run SMF's Routine maintenance tasks

That's it. If interested test and let us know the outcome.

Update:
* Avatars (gallery and user uploaded) are now converted
* J! passwords are supported directly by SMF :) Do note that
1) I only tested with J! 2.5. J! 1.7 should also work (untested), J! 3.0 probably should NOT work.
2) At first login, each user will have to reenter the password twice (necessary for rehash)
* Minor fixes.
