Question Joomlaboard to kunena plz help

Hi, I have an ancient relic on my running site - joomlaboard. And it has become a problem when decision of migration to joomla 1.5 was made.

I have searched this forum and found this topic:
www.kunena.com/forum/101-solved-or-prior...ached-images-missing

Matias said that there is some script for migration from jb to kunena.

Matias wrote: BTW: Kunena has also migration possibility from JoomlaBoard, but it seems to be slightly broken. I can try to fix it if someone gives me a database dump from sb_* tables.

Is it still broken? Is there a way to fix it and get?

Hello,

I think there are nothing news about this. But you can send a MP to matias with explenations and give him a dump of your tables begining by sb_*.

Did send a PM to Matias, but there's no response.
Guess have to try through FB.
*sigh* It's going to be painful...

It would be a great benefit to find a smooth way of transitioning from Joomlaboard to Kunena! I can think of one or two big websites that would gain from this ... :whistle:

I'm sorry you haven't received an answer. As you know, the developers are working around the clock (literally) on the next version of Kunena. In the meantime I can only suggest you work through the other ideas that have been offered in the past, for example Migration from JoomlaBoard to Kunena . I agree, it's not easy and you may have to do a lot of fine-tuning, but if you take things carefully, using a temporary staging area, you should be able to get good results.

Worst-case scenario, leave your old Joomlaboard site as a stand-alone archive, lock it up (prevent new registrations and postings) and build a new website that refers back to the archived discussions. OK?

I was away because of personal loss.

Kunena 2.0 will most likely have migration from JoomlaBoard -- it's really easy to do with the new installer (just one line into array). In the meanwhile I suggest looking at the thread sozzled suggested. It's actually what FireBoard does when it migrates from JB.

Or just try to find old version of FB and use it.
