Migration from vanilla forums to flarum

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.

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

Hello, sorry for my late reply. you have to run the command "composer install" first.

Bishwas-py

SamuelDB How? What is the code? composer install vanilla_to_flarum

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 ▼
  #message: "SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'bio' in 'field list'"
  #code: "42S22"

}

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).

Bishwas-py

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

luceos

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.

Bishwas-py

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

luceos

Bishwas-py a clean flarum install asks for and creates an admin username. Even so your Vanilla forum might allow duplicate usernames, Flarum does not.

Bishwas-py

Issue:

luceos

Bishwas-py install fof/user-bio, enable it and run its migrations.

Bishwas-py

Got this issue...

Bishwas-py

I have removed bio from the importer and got this issue.

luceos

you can't run composer require in the public path of flarum, but in the root of flarum next to the flarum binary and config.php

Bishwas-py

luceos I did the same.

Bishwas-py what do you mean by this?

Thanks the database converter is working fine but how can I recreate the Flarum admin account ?

Ok found: After the migration there was a "16 Administrator" group in groups table but it should be "1 Admin" for Flarum.
