Question migrate agora to kunena ??

I did not experience this. Have you tried installing the latest 1.6.2 yet?

Also be sure to back up!

I'd like to add an issue that I ran across, and its solution.

In the Agora forum, we had deleted some users who had posted in the forum.
In Agora, the username attributed to the post would revert to "Guest."

When I migrated to Kunena, all of those "Guest" posts disappeared, because there was no user id to identify them (poster_id reverted to '0')
Solution: I created a user named "Guest", looked in the database for the ID# and then ran a query:

UPDATE jos_agora_posts SET poster_id = 1424 WHERE poster_id = 'Guest';

When I migrated this time, the missing posts appeared for the user Guest.

I'm satisfied with the result, only issue is that duplicated
first posts from topics. I deleted them manually.

I also ran into the duplicate first post issue. Is there a query that can be run to eliminate those posts, rather than deleting manually? We have over 500 threads so it would be tedious.

Thank you!

This is what I am looking for is an instruction for the migration process.

I have tried following this link but was not able to locate any links that take me directly to the file downloads? I think it would be helpful to new Kunena users to have these links listed somewhere to make it a bit easier for us noobies to get an install Kunena.

OK well I had to install K1.5.13 as there is an issue with installing 1.5.14 on Joomla 1.5.22 so once this was installed I was able to then install K1.6.3 right over the top of it. Install the KunenaConverter and run it. Agora got converted and subsequently I then UNINSTALLED it! YEA!~ bye bye JVitals you traitors! bahahaha!

Watch out - Agora made some major changes in Oct/Nov 2010 and more again in Mar 2011. In Oct/Nov they had to rewrite their converters to import Kuena, phpbb and others. Not sure how recent this converter is... but would be delighted to know that there is a way out of Agora.
