Migrate from Kunena (Joomla) to Vb.

[William Thomas Jr]

Hello,

I am in the information gathering stage. I have been considering purchasing VB., but already have a forum that seems to struggle in the search engines. I would like to know if you have any suggestions, or referrals to companies or programmers that would be able to salvage under 3000 topics from Kunena and migrate them to VB. As is now, I am seriously considering purchasing VB, but would really hate to lose four years of data entry.

Thanks,
William

Hello - Unfortunately we do not have an importer for your current software. The list of software we can import from is here- https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/...rsion=40202602

If you can find a way to to convert from your software to any of the tier 1 systems listed, you can then use that software as a middle-ground and import into VB 4.x from there.

There may be 3rd party sites that can do your import directly but we have no affiliation nor provide any recommendations on using such sites- that would be at your own risk.

Hello William,

I'd just like to add that I imported my community from phpBB3 to vbulletin successfully with no issue. What Joe is saying is if you can find a middle-ground for your import (one of the softwares listed), that you will be able to then use it to migrate to vbulletin 4.

It's also possible to have vbulletin 5. Once you have finished your migration, the only thing you will have to do is run the upgrade script for vbulletin 5.

Currently there is no way to migrate directly to vbulletin 5 but I wanted to ensure that even with this, you will still be able to do so if you have found your method of transfer.

Good luck!
