Convert the database of Vanilla Forum to Flarum.
Currently you can import users, groups, discussions, posts and tags.
There are some more work to be done :
- When importing the groups, we loose the possibility to manage the forum settings
- After inserting posts, the columns
last_post_id
andparticipant_count
should be updated. - The
misc.php
importer is not working yet, it should be adapted to Vanilla forums. - The format (HTML, BB, Markdown) of the messages have to be correctly converted.
- The internal links in the posts have to be converted.
- The Following discussions could be transfered.
- Keep the mark as read status
This script is an adaptation of some parts of https://github.com/mondediefr/fluxbb_to_flarum.
