Hi guys!

I'm getting sick and tired of Kunena, and want to migrate to ChronoForums, as it looks to be one of the best forums extensions on the market today.

As i can see in the Migrate Options in ChronoForums, the only way to migrate is with a phpBB3 forum. Is there any other way i can migrate from my existing Kunena forum to ChronoForums ?

Thanks in advance, hope you guys can tell me what to do.🙂 :mrgreen:

Anyone got a answer?

Hi KSHH,

Unfortunately there is no migrator that I know of, a new one will have to be written, and for that I need to analyze Kunena's database structure, and this needs time which I don't have at the moment.

But its on my todo list!🙂

Sounds great, as i really want to migrate over to ChronoForums. The design is also a LOT better than Kunenas.🙂

You can send me a reminder after 2-3 weeks if I don't get back to you!🙂

I'll do that.🙂

Any news on it ?🙂

I would too really appreciate a migration tool with detailed instructions from Kunena to ChronoForums. It seems to more robust and have better options then Kunena.

The thing is I have a relatively big Kunena forum running on a Joomla 2.5 website and I can't really erase all this content plus user base and start back from scratch.

Any news on when/if this tool will be developed?

Thanks in advance for your precious help!🙂

Hi guys,

Work is in progress, hopefully soon we will have it ready!

I have tried to convert from kunena to chronoforums and data looks ok in most ways .
Only my avatars and attachements don't get "converted"
First it was a matter of rights on the folder but i tried again and it looks they aren't changed/transferred .
Pretty sure i'm gonna leave kunena because this look a lot better and what a great support on a free extension to offer a conversion in such short time !
Congrats !
Is there somewhere a global topic to inform about bugs ?
(yep found one ... translation to dutch is missing 's' at the '%' for variable fields )

Hi neujensl,

Please move the attachments files yourself to the attachments folder under Chronoforums, and the avatars too, but the migrator doesn't import the avatars data, this is a bug which I will need to fix!

You are welcome to send me the updated translation file and I will include it when the new update is ready!
