Question Upgrading my FB to Kunena

Good Day/Evening

I'm am currently running FB 1.0.5RC2, how do I upgrade to Kunena and will it effect anything, do i need to copy any data to show my old forum posts?

What do I need to look at when upgrading?

And when you guys move away from the fb_#tables, will there be a way to migrate it to the new table structure for Kunena?

I also have a template on my FB Forum, will i need to change it in any way?

Thanks Alot

As long as you have FB 1.0.5rc installed, just install kunena. No need for copying of data.

My advise:

1. Backup (file and database).

2. To keep forum config when uppgrading from FB 1.0.4 and older version install
fb_converter. Otherwise you have to configure your forum over again.

3. take your FB forum offline, and put a message that link to forum have changed.
4. Disable fb_latest equivalent module
5. Remove all menu link to FB
6. Install kunena
7. Add menu link to kunena
8. If running J1.5.X install kunena_latest module if wanted.

9. uninstall com_kunena, mod_fb_latest, com_fb_converter

Hello,

thank you for the instructions since i am getting ready to migrate over but i am kind of confuse on step 9. it says uninstall com_kunena

uninstalling that will remove the kunena forum, right.

just want to make sure i think its a typo

Follow instructions as outlined in the documentation. They are pretty specific.
