Transferring an eblah forum to Drupal 6
AnimalLoversWeb - May 1, 2008 - 23:32
Hi, I'm new to the forum and I am planning to convert my website from static html to Drupal 6. I am just in the planning stages having read David Mercers book and I am about to install ApacheTriad and build a local Drupal site first.
My question here is that as well as my main website I have an eblah forum, it is fairly young with only 120 members and about 6000 posts but it would be ideal if I could import all of the users and posts to the forum module in Drupal.
Can this be done?
If so how easy/automated can it be?
To my knowledge...
There's no direct conversion script from eblah to Drupal.
But the process can be automated. It involves exporting data from the eblah database (users, and posts) and importing it into Drupal.
I can assist you with this process: please feel free to use my contact form.
Thanks rernst. I will play
Thanks rernst. I will play with my new Drupal site and get familiar with it over the weekend and get in touch in a week or so when I am ready to deal with the forum side of things.
Regards,
John
