smf to flarum!

jmex

Is there a way i can move to flarum from smf? i am not a coder so can anyone guide me step by step converting it?

jmex there seem to be a script but it's probably outdated https://discuss.flarum.org/d/3585-smf2-to-flarum-migration-script-alpha-3

I can perform the migration for you as part of my Flarum Migration service if you're interested (compatible with Flarum beta7) https://clarkwinkelmann.com/flarum#flarum-database-migration

jmex Flarum developers aren't working on importers until the stable version is out. Until then, community members like clarkwinkelmann are offering services for the interim.

Hi there @clarkwinkelmann. My Car Club that i'm in since 2007 is candidate to migrate an >10 year old SMF (old but updated 2.0.15 😂 ) to a new fresh Flarum platform. I've been study all the issues and i think it's good. It's the best featured and UI-UX forum platform that we need. There are only a few issues that we are thinking it's bad for us like the Tapatalk Plugin. We have a lot's of members accessing with this plugin.

So back on topic, I was reading a few months ago this pages and now i came here again just to ask you if there's any news about your automated version to migrate database or ... some help there without automated versions 😛

Thanks! 😁

Sure. Thanks for your help. Let me know what you needed. ? Wait it's chargeable and so is discourse. So it's just smf who helps people for free. ?

When is astable version expected to be released? Thanks for your reply. I really loved the speed and interface of flarum. I'm on discourse as well, using smf, but this beats all. Thanks to those who are working on this

Prosperous

jmex There are still a few things we need to do before getting to stable but it definitely won't be too far along! To answer your question directly, there is no finalised date but stay tuned and be aware of any announcements we post up so you don't miss out. ?

The majority of our announcements are posted within the Meta tag.
