Question Migrating from CCBoard to Kunena 1.6

Hey guys,

I know this has been mentioned before, but I haven't see any real recent answers. Plus, haven't seen any for K1.6.

Wont get into to the reasons for "running" from CCBoard, as that's moot. But you get the point: Convert from to K1.6

Current CC version: 1.2RC
K version 1.6

Any converters that I'm not seeing? If not, then anyone know of how to do this? The board has far too many posts to lose without a fight, but I can't continue with CC.
If nothing exists to do this, could anyone be so kind as to post a walk-through doing it by hand? I'm pretty good with sql and php, but no expert by any means.

Any help would really be appreciated.
And by the way... I'm loving K1.6!

Thanks to all!
Chris

Hello,

Do you have looked et this : www.kunena.com/forum/110-user-contributi...ena-converters#63949 ?

Thanks Xillibit,

Yeah, I did see that one, but was just hoping for an easier way than to install Agora, downgrade to K1.5, then upgrade again. But all in all, I guess it's not that bad... and is better than losing everything.

Have you tried this, or has anyone else successfully tried this?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks Xillibit!

I went through Agora, then migrated to Kunene, then upgraded to K1.6. It worked. The forum is there, as well as all the previous posts. But now I can view any of them or post new topics. Everytime I do it goes to my 404 page.

I posted in another forum so just have to wait.

Until then, guess I'll have to use Agora until fixed.

Thanks for your help!

Were you ever able to solve your problem?

I really need this also. The converter doesn't convert ;(

Hello,

If you have a akeeba backup in zip format, i can make some tests with the converter which is still in work in progress

I did solve it, now K1.6 is working beautifully. Just upgraded to 1.6.1 with no problems at all. In my case, the problem was that I had Letterman installed for newsletters... and it was causing the problem. I uninstalled and Kunena started working. If you don't have Letterman installed, chances are if you're having the same problem (the 404's) then you've got an incompatible extension installed. Best thing to do is start disabling one by one and uninstall components you're not using. If you have a local install available or a sandbox Joom install, you may want to install the same extensions there, along with K1.6, then begin uninstalling until you find the culprit. At least this way you'll know before-hand.

As for the converter: I did the above going through Agora and had no issues (other than several posts were not properly formatted, but no big deal).

WELL, unfortunately agora is now commercial so thats not an option for me now.
