Migrating from Simple Machines Forum SMF 2.x to Vanilla 2

edited May 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

Hi,
I have a fresh install of vanilla, and I would like to port over the content from an old forum to it. I have found the Vanilla Porter, but it doesn't seem to like the version of SMF I am using. Can anyone point me to a solution?

    Can you explain in detail, what goes wrong when you try the porter plugin with your SMF data? As much details as you can please :-)

  • SMF 2.x isn't supported (according to Vanilla Porter link), but you could convert SMF to PHPBB3, then to Vanilla through porter. Would expect you may hit some problems doing so but if you don't mind getting your hands dirty it's worth a try.

    Otherwise, keep SMF as an archive, and start afresh on Vanilla.

  • or... help creating the conversion from SMF to Vanilla...

    in the meantime convert to phpBB (check results) and then to Vanilla :-)
