Merged Migrate / convert IP Board to Kunena

Hi again,

I have spoke to owner of forum migration it can be done but I do not have the cash to proceed or I would of done it .

My next question is if you are familure of what need to be move lets say posts and users is all I really care about . I can only image this is a very complex way because of how each table is linked to another part of another table etc..

Unless there is a convert that I can migrate to i.e move to phpbb then move to Kunena.
any suggestions thanks for your time

I searched through this forum looking for IPB in the title only - that's why it's always a good idea to choose a good topic subject - and I found the following results: www.kunena.org/forum/advsearch?q=IPB&tit...te=all&childforums=1

Thank you for the link i really dont understand whats going on there any other suggestions

I found out about forum-migrations.com from this thread and after doing a bit of research I hired them to migrate my Vbulletin forum to Kunena. Our forums have approx 34,000 post and many images and I was not comfortable in doing the migration myself. Javier at forum-migrations set up a demo site in advance at no charge to show me just how our forums would look in Kunena and was then very flexible with my schedule when doing the actual migration. He even even followed up with an additional task that was not in the original quote.
Overall I would have to say that I am very pleased with the service. For my peace of mind it was definitely worth the price.

I currently use Invision Power Board. Is there a way to migrate to this software?

G'day, emsonline, and welcome to Kunena.

As far as I know there is no direct way to convert from IPB to Kunena without going through the intermediate stage of using converting from IPB to "brand X" and then from "brand X" to Kunena as this topic discusses: How to Convert from IPB 3.1.2 to Kunena 1.6.3 .

There are other alternatives as the article I wrote a couple of years ago discusses: see I want to migrate my forum to Kunena ...

Good luck.
