Solved "Kunena Forum Importer" / migration tool

Hello,

I have a Joomla! 2.5 site which has a Codingfish Discussions forum installed. I would like to migrate that to Kunena 4.05/Joomla! 3.4.

I have found old forum posts and pages in the wiki which mention Kunena extensions called Kunena Installer or Kunena Forum Importer that has support for Codingfish Discussions migration, but I cannot find that extension on the Kunena.org download page.

Can someone point me to it, and/or suggest the proper steps to follow to accomplish my task?

Hello,

This extension is available from here : github.com/Kunena/com_kunenaimporter/releases , this works on Joomla! 2.5

But there isn't support of codingfish discussions support on it

That archive is missing the installer xml. Is it available elsewhere?

It's available only on this place, on which Joomla! version did-you have tried ?

Joomla! 2.5.28 and I've also installed Kunena 2.0. The install fails because in the zip linked above there is no xml to run the install.

Interestingly, com_kunenaimporter seems to have support for Discussions by Codingfish; i found a file export_discussions.php in it that looks like it deals with this schema.

Thank for your help, I appreciate it.

Sorry i thought that it was a package wit ha xml file at the root in it, so you can donwload from here : joomlacode.org/gf/project/kunena/frs/?ac...&frs_package_id=6065 untill that joomlacode.org si still alive

Thanks a lot for the quick reply and the link with the component XML. I'll come back here and let you know how our conversion goes. I know it's a crap shoot and the migration isn't supported any longer, but it might be worth documenting in this way for the next person.

I'm sorry it took me a while to return to this thread. Once we had the Kunena Importer component with the XML, it was very easy. We updated Joomla! 2.5 to the final version, 2.5.28. Then we installed Kunena 2.0 and com_kunenaimporter, and followed the documented process to convert. It was successful on the first attempt. We then updated Kunena as far as 4.03, tested that it was working on the front end, and updated Joomla! to 3.4.5. The board is working perfectly and all data has migrated as expected. We have since applied updates to Joomla! and to Kunena.

Thanks. This tool saved a lot of tedious and expensive time in phpMyAdmin.

Hello, there

I want to bring this topic back.

Currently, my J2.5 website has the Codingfish Discussions Forum v.1.6.1 and I want to migrate to Kunena. I downloaded the "Kunena Forum Importer" component v1.7.2 , and I installed both Kunena plugin and the migration tool, it says the installation was succesfull in the two cases, also activated both, but whenever I clicked on the migration tool it says the following message:

Kunena is not installed or the installed Kunena version is not supported. The Kunena Importer has been disabled. Please install/upgrade Kunena to version 1.7 for the Kunena Importer to function properly.

I also tried installing kunena 2.0.4 but nothing. It says it was installed succesfully but it seems not to work.

Any suggestions? I appreacite all kind of help. Thanks!

Hello,

Like the error message say, you need to have Kunena 1.7.2 and not the 2.0.4 because only Kunena 1.7.2 is supported by this importer.
