Migration from vanilla forums to flarum

waiting too

A phpBB migrator is planned? Or have I to upgrade my old phpBB forum (100k posts) to esoTalk and then move to Flarum?

This is outlined in our FAQ.

This is a very old string, but i'm wondering if this materialized? thank you!

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

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.

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

SamuelDB How? What is the code? composer install vanilla_to_flarum

SamuelDB Oh I got it. You mean inside vanilla_to_flarum directory, we need to run composer install

I am getting this issue.

^ PDOException {#18 ▼

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

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).

luceos I had done the same, but I got an another error/

That can be expected. And so you solve all errors until the migration succeeds without one.

Your duplication error might also be caused by restarting the migration without having cleaned up the flarum database. Eg if you installed flarum with admin username Toby and your vanilla forum had a username with the same name, it might throw this error.

luceos Nope. I am trying to migrate it in a clean one.
