Question Moving forum to other website

Hi

We are about to move our website to another server, and is building our site from scratch in joomla 1.7.0 on a new test domain. Therefore we would like to move our current topics and so on from our current website to the new one.

Unfortunately we are having a bit of a problem finding an export/import function in Kunena. Does it exist? or how do we do?

thanks in advance

export all *.Kunena tables in your old database. and import the sql file in your new database, Then install kunena. Thats it

regards 810

How do I export these? Manually or is there a build in function?

You need to use phpmyadmin for that, just export kunena_* tables and import them into your new server still with phpmyadmin.

okay... thank you very much will try and report back

BTW - is the databases compatible between 1.5.23 and 1.7, when I import to the new website?

The Joomla databases are not compatible, no. If you are using K 1.6.5 on J! 1.5.23 then those Kunena database tables should be compatible with J! 1.7.0, yes (but I haven't tested it).

Im having some troubles getting phpmyadmin to work

could I get some hints. Went throught the documentation.txt, but it seems quite complicated

It is quite complicated, so I advise reading them, since the skills you pick up will come in handy. I am not sure if teaching phpMyAdmin is within the scope of this website. A quick google turns up lots of 'how-to' guides written in easy to understand terms, including video guides.

okay... will try and google some more guides. Cause the documentation.txt that is attached to the download doesn't seem very handy read it all, and forgot half of it afterwards :blink:

thanks for your advice

Okay - so now I found out how to use PHPmyAdmin on Youtube, but still haven't found a guide on how to install it on Joomla. Anyone got a link or a easy install guide?
