code-red i am hoping to see such functionality. This is because i have friends whom i have introduced flarum to and they really want to migrate from vanilla if it rolls out fully.
Franz There will be a migration tool, probably part of the installer. We haven't decided yet which other software we'll support migrating from (besides FluxBB and esoTalk), but it'll be easy to create a migrator for Vanilla.
candyman A phpBB migrator is planned? Or have I to upgrade my old phpBB forum (100k posts) to esoTalk and then move to Flarum?
FBI Soon, after leaving from Beta. I hope Flarum could make Universal Migrator (for all forum)... Only post, thread, user and base access right table needed 🙂
SamuelDB Hello, I've started to develop an import script from Vanilla forum to Flarum, see what it looks like here: https://github.com/sdebacker/vanilla_to_flarum. Contributions welcome.
Aydneri SamuelDB I got Uncaught Error: Class 'Cocur\Slugify\Slugify' not found... error when I try this and Uncaught Error: Class 'League\HTMLToMarkdown\HtmlConverter' not found in errors can you explain more how to use this? thanks
Bishwas-py SamuelDB Oh I got it. You mean inside vanilla_to_flarum directory, we need to run composer install
Bishwas-py I am getting this issue. ^ PDOException {#18 â–¼ #message: "SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'bio' in 'field list'" #code: "42S22" #file: "/home/globallo/study.webmatrices.com/vanilla_to_flarum/public/function.php" #line: 45 +errorInfo: array:3 [â–¼ 0 => "42S22" 1 => 1054 2 => "Unknown column 'bio' in 'field list'" ] trace: {â–¶} }
Bishwas-py Bishwas-py I removed the bio field it's working but I got another error Duplicate entry 'maokhun' for key 'users_username_unique' where maokhun is a username
luceos Bishwas-py you can install fof/user-bio to have that bio column. For that duplicate error, flarum demands usernames to be unique. You have to remove duplicates from your vanilla database or modify the script to work with duplicates (rename them or skip).
