Hi all, I’m having great fun with my first Discourse install - it’s a fab bit fo kit! I’m new to Ruby et al and looking for a spot of help with kununa.rb I can get the script to run, having searched a lot :wink: but there is an issue with the script. In the latest version of kunena the ‘categorie…

Wow! It’s importing! Let’s see what the results are! … :smile:

Well, most of the posts were imported using @gerhard 's suggestion about line 123 in kunena.rb I’m guessing that some posts didn’t get created because of the content of the post - am about to investigate Also the script only got to 65.7% of the import - no reason given but could be an overload (t…

[image] maia_internet: Where / who do I see about updating the kunena.rb file, or indeed adding another file for kunena v3.0.6 which is the version i’ve been working with? @neil Can you please take a look at this? For which version did you write the original importer?

Ok that sounds good. Submit it in a pull request . :smile:

As a side - how would one then replace the kunena forum with Discourse? In other words, in it’s simplest form, iframe discourse into a joomla frame work? …

Hi again guys, here’s the next hurdle to migrating - Private Messages. Is there a (easy) way of migrating form Uddeim to Discourse? Cheers

Hi @neil @gerhard @Benninger , I submitted a pull request and had it merged yesterday for kunena3.rb I finally got it to work for kunena 3+ installs! It even works running against an exiting import that updates the new from the old. Hope this helps others out as well. Cheers Dave

Hi guys, I’m struggling with getting this import script to run - if anyone out there is willing to give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated. I have 2 sites, one small and one fairly big that I would love to migrate but I’ve been hitting a brick wall with this the last few weeks. TIA! /Kohha…
