I don't see any way to do this, even with the last agora free, because agora will not convert tables so that code has to be removed, and then even after that the agora->kunena converter fails with missing table entries *sigh*

Topic is very old and no one ever answered other than to say it could not be done. So, instead I went with the Agora Forums which DO have a migration utility for this. Worked great. On the other hand, now Agora wants money for full software.

This topic is in the archive. The reason that it is in the archive is because the original questions were answered. The category description on all the archived categories in this forum state:

Topics that are moved into this category are generally considered to be closed. Users may want to add additional information but these topics should not be resurrected in order to discuss new problems or unrelated matters.


The focus of attention for the Kunena project is away from K 1.5. K 1.5 is already at end-of-life and the community's interests are now firmly set on the future of Kunena which is K 1.6 and beyond.

K 1.5 exists as a temporary transitional platform, for those users who do not have the time, energy, skill or interest in upgrading to K 1.6. K 1.5 may also provide a transitional way to migrate from other forums to Kunena, in preparation for the final move to K 1.6. K 1.5 is still supported but it is less-actively supported than K 1.6. In the near future (still some months away) the "life-support" for K 1.5 will be turned off.

I hope this possibly explains why there has been inaction in responding to your question.

I, personally, do not have the answers. I hope that other members of the community may be able to offer their own experience and assistance to you. I wish I could be more helpful to you.

Migrating from ccboard to anything is a lost cause. As a former devout ccboard user I can tell you its just simply hopeless.
Part of the reason is ccboard was designed to use the html editor which kunena does not. The kunena to ccboard converter doesn't. even going the ninja-agora-kunena route will not work.. Believe me I've tried.
In our case we made the decision to just dump the 1000+ posts we had c/p the few majorly important ones ( about 200 ) and start fresh with the rest. Its a sucky solution but the only one viable @ this time.

Bellow SQL converts ccBoard 1.2RC Posts to Kunena. It does not convert categories, as I didn't need it.

Do not forget to chaneg jos_ to table prefix you use.
Code:
INSERT INTO jos_kunena_messages SELECT cp.id AS id, IF(ct.start_post_id=cp.id,0,ct.start_post_id) AS parent, ct.start_post_id AS thread, cp.forum_id AS catid, cp.post_username AS name, cp.post_user AS userid, COALESCE(u.email,'') AS email, cp.post_subject AS subject, cp.post_time AS time, cp.ip AS ip, IF(ct.start_post_id=cp.id,ct.topic_emoticon,0) AS topic_emoticon, IF(ct.start_post_id=cp.id,ct.locked,0) AS locked, cp.hold AS hold, 0 AS ordering, IF(ct.start_post_id=cp.id,ct.hits,0) AS hits, 0 AS moved, cp.modified_by AS modified_by, cp.modified_time AS modified_time, cp.modified_reason AS modified_reason FROM jos_ccb_posts AS cp JOIN jos_ccb_topics AS ct ON ct.id = cp.topic_id LEFT JOIN jos_users AS u ON u.id=cp.post_user; INSERT INTO jos_kunena_messages_text SELECT cp.id AS messid, cp.post_text AS message FROM jos_ccb_posts AS cp;
