Migration 0.1
Lupin3rd - May 16, 2005 - 17:12
Drupal.it staff realeased Migration script 0.1 to make easy to migrate from Nukes cms to Drupal.
This script, differently from code snippets you can find on Drupal.org, permits an optimal migration of data from various Nukes to Drupal.
Version 0.1 has the following fearures:
- Users Migration (remember to create the admin user on Drupal before the migration)
- Topics and Sub-topics migration with the option to choose the Drupal Vocabulary to migrate to
- News migration with some options
- News Comments migration that reproduces the thread hierarchy
- For all migrations' types the script updates values on the Sequences table on Drupal db
By now it's possible to import just from MdPro! You can use the Mdpro install script to import your PHPNuke or Postnuke DB and then use this migration script to migrate to Drupal!
Features requests for next realeases of the script are welcome. Some planned features for next realeases are:
- Direct migration from Postnuke and PHPNuke
- Polls migration
- Forums migration
is the idea to ..
Centralize all the migration scripts and make one module from it ?

Installation
Indeed, at some point a module that extends the new install system would be nice addition. Choose 'migrate', choose your old CMS, enter the database details and your good to go!
Indeed..
it's a very nice idea =)

Is a good idea.
I create this script because in italy more people use phpnuke, postnuke and mdpro. In italy are the CMS most used.
With Migration some people can try Drupal, and i'm sure that they migrate all sites to Drupal :)
Then i want in the next days add some features to Migration script and clean the code.
This will be a useful work also for a future migration module.
Excellent!
Good to hear you are working on this. It shouldn't be too hard to build a migration kit for types of data (users, forum posts, blog posts, etc). Each migration script can perform the appropriate actions depending on which system it is for.
Building a new migration script becomes much easier with the existing APIs and more people can try out Drupal ;).

The new version is ready,
The new version is ready, the importer from MDForum and PNphpBB2 works very fine.
I have only a question for Drupal.org users... i want to migrate the BBcode [QUOTE] also, what is the best way?
i must use
<blockquote>or others... ?Thanks a lor for suggest.

bbcode.module
Does the bbcode module provide the support you need? It doesn't have a 4.6 release, but it probably wouldn't be that hard to update.
If you don't want to add bbcode.module as a dependency, I think
<blockquote>would work just fine for bbcode's [quote] tag.Where can I download the new version?
The version on drupal.it is still the old one without support for postnuke and pnphpbb2.
Best regards,
Lennart

Migration script 0.2?
I'm not interested in migrating from PHPNuke, Postnuke or MDcms, but would like to extend the interface of this script so that I can use it to migrate a few users from another CMS.
I'm just at a loss now as to how to do this. I can't seem to get ahold of lupin3rd or anyone at drupal.it. I think it would be useful to host this on drupal.org so that it can get a bit more attention.
Where would I upload my chages to the script?

I couldn't find that phpbb2drupal feature, was I just imagining it? lol.
I just moved www.ariadoss.com from MD-Pro to Drupal. Worked well, but I have a much large site located at www.usharrypotter.com to migrate over. I'm probably going to have to write the script myself if one does not exist, I'll be sure to post my modifications though. ^_^
There are lots of places to post code
Hi Danilo,
There aer lots of places to post code, like sf.net. But that wouldn't have it be as much part of the community. Folks look for drupal code in the drupal contrib cvs mostly, with few exceptions I think.
Either that or setting up a project.
There's some code to translate phpBB to drupal. In the drupal contrib cvs see:
tricks/phpbb2drupal

This worked the first time...
This worked the first time but I downloaded the migration script again and tried it on a second site and I keep getting the following error:
Warning: step_two(DB.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/htdocs/mywebsite/www/migration.php on line 206
Fatal error: step_two(): Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/htdocs/mywebsite/www/migration.php on line 206
Never mind...
Never mind it was just my server's settings, it worked locally, sorry to be a bother. :)
Where can I download this script?
For 2 month I'm tying to migrate from MDPro and MDForum to Drupal but without any success.
I'm not so skillable for correct and migrate with using postnuke2drupal script and phpbb2drupal module.
Please let me know where can I download Migration script 0.1 or 0.2.?

Try this script...
FWIW I modified an existing GPL'd script, which you can find here. Make sure you get version .002, as that's the latest to date. (And since I'm done moving my site, probably the last by me.)
