Title: kunena to smf
Post by: newbie27 on August 01, 2013, 08:40:15 AM
Hello guys. I have a kunena 3.0 which i believe the latest and i want to convert it to smf. I have to do this within a week or my forum might die because of security problem gossip. Can anyone guide me? thank you.

Apparently the only converter available is for kunena 1.5, don't think there is anything around for 3...
Also I have no idea about the differences from 1.5 and 3, so I cannot even judge how difficult would be to "adapt" it.

You could back everything up and try the converter.

Luck sometimes smiles on us. :)

That doesn't make sense, to me, I'm afraid. Do you mean that you can revert back to v1.5? If so, what's the problem, with doing that?

Unlikely since you can see around with a search that the converter fails on kunena 2.0 as well...

He can downgrade to 2.0, not to something lower than that. That's what I understood.

Been doing a bit of research...

I don't know what software versions were involved, though. So, this may well fail, big-time.

But, it seems that some people have had a result by using this:

Apparently, Fireboard and Kunena have very similar structures.

Worth a try?
