Question [Solved] Migration phpbb3 to Kunena 5.0.14

Hi,

I am trying to update a site by Joomla and the forum is based on phpBB3. I would like to use Kunena to be directly integrated with Joomla, but despite many searches on the internet and on this forum, I do not manage.

I would like to migrate the database from phpBB3 to Kunena 5.0.14 (or less if necessary) and when I find the script that needs to be used and I throw it in toad, I have huge errors that appear.

I also tried to install Kunena 2.0 but once installed it does not work.

I also read that Kunena imported phpBB easily. Is that true? Did I miss a simpler program?

Do you know a solution?

Thank you in advance.

I have converted phpBB 3.0.14 to Kunena 6 months ago. The problem for me was that I had JFusion as bridge and it changes the userid, so I had to make my own scripts to adjust for it.
I used this conversion script: github.com/mixerp/phpbb-to-kunena
I modified this script to add some smilies corrections. With this script userids for Joomla will change to phpBB userid.

My phpBB file is in 3.2.2. I used this script to test the conversion.
From the first line, I get errors. I also have smiley errors but I don't think this is the most important.

How I proceed:
1-I downloaded the database from phpBB.
2-I installed a new Joomla with Kunena 5.1 with its language pack
3-I install and I open toad
4-I edit the script with the recommendations :
  • Find and replace the token "phpbb_database_name" according to your setup. (the old phpbb)
  • Find and replace the token "joomla_database_name" according to your setup. (the new joomla)
  • Find and replace the token "jos_" to whatever prefix you have in your joomla installation. (the new extension of the new joomla)

4-I connect to my phpBB database
5-I open script and this is a copy of my mistakes (in red) :

Warning: Spoiler!


I cut a lot of passage and errors and I did not put any errors that appear otherwise there would be several pages. Sorry if that didn't understand.

It's normal to have too many errors.

Yet even working locally, I should not have so many mistakes.

Should I also import the old Joomla? Yet Joomla EET phpBB was not bridged.

Is there a tutorial to correct errors?

For smileys, I change the names, the path, the abbreviations but I always have errors...

I do not see what to change because I am a novice in this area...

Have you checked the phpBB databastables with phpMyAdmin so they are OK. You can both check and also optimize prior to conversion. I did not get any error messages, but I have not tested 3.2 but 3 ,0.14 and 3.1. Both was rather easy to convert. There is a forum for the conversion script that you can check:
