			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I successfully converted our old <a href="http://www.joomlame.com/" target="_blank">Agora</a> forum on <a href="http://www.zentrack.com">zentrack.com</a> to a shiny new <a href="http://www.kunena.com/" target="_blank">Kunena</a> forum.</p>
<p>Since there weren&#8217;t any handy migration scripts, I broke out my trusty, <a href="http://zenovations.com/blog/?p=16">quick and dirty db migrator</a>, and whipped one up.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;d need for these scripts to be useful for your install too:</p>
<ul>
<li>Existing Categories in your Kunena db that mirror the old Agora forums</li>
<li>Command Line Access to your server</li>
<li>Basic understanding of SQL and shell scripting</li>
</ul>
<p>Here&#8217;s what the scripts do:</p>
<ul>
<li>Works with or without <a href="http://www.joomlapolis.com/" target="_blank">CB</a></li>
<li>Import all posts from Agora to Kunena</li>
<li>Convert agora user ids to joomla ids (used by Kunena)</li>
<li>Updates post counts by category (Kunenas sync tool doesn&#8217;t do well)</li>
</ul>
<p>Here&#8217;s what to do:</p>
<ol>
<li>Make sure your categories are set up</li>
<li>Download the <a href="http://www.zenovations.com/misc/agora_to_kunena_converter.zip">zip file linked here</a></li>
<li>Open configure.php</li>
<li>Modify the connection info at the top</li>
<li>Set the forum ids to category ids</li>
<li>Set $fake_inserts = true</li>
<li>Run the script:  php ./converter.php (a test run)</li>
<li>Check out the printed results and make sure they look sensible</li>
<li>Set $fake_inserts = false</li>
<li>Have a go at the real data (you have a backup, right??)</li>
</ol>
