Important note: Go to the Kunena Dashboard after an upgrade so that the Kunena database tables are also updated. This is particularly necessary for major version jumps so that the table changes are adapted.
This is for users to help other users, to discuss topics that relate to migrating from other web-based forums and converting the data into a form that will operate with Kunena.
It is important to note that the Kunena team does not have a standard, recommended or supported protocol for these ideas and that posting questions in this category may not receive advice from team members.
I managed to make the migration, thank you very much!!
But -- there are some posts that are not being visible.
I think that the problem was/is that they were directly under a category and when migrated some categories were migrated to sections. I can see the posts and topics in database, but not in forum.
I tried to make new section and then put the category as a child to it. I tried also movint the catogery under another category. Still the posts does not appear in the category.
I was able to complete a migration on a test of a fresh install of Kunena 5.0.13 and fresh install of EasyDiscuss 4.0.22 with some extra categories and posts that I manually entered.
The only two problems that I encountered were:
1) the sql that dyvel provided in post #10 of this thread, returned errors for me when I tried to execute it. It didn't seem necessary anyway but I'd be happy to be shown where I'm mistaken.
2) the categories in EasyDiscuss have to be within a container category before you start the migration. If they are not, categories, threads/replies do not display properly but once I went back and started over (including truncating the kunena tables) but first moving all of the categories in EasyDiscuss, including "Uncategorized" into a Container category, then the import went through and all of my sample categories, posts and replies display properly in Kunena.
Is there anyone, who recently has made a migration from latest EasyDiscuss to Kunena?
I would like to do the same, but it seems it is now an easy job to do, as I have no idea about MySQL.
Would be interested in getting to know this too, as I would like to migrate from EasyDiscuss to Kunena.
Any idea, if that years old method described here still works in March 2022?
