Still in progress, (*1)
Intro
This will be a Joomla CLI script to migrate JComments comments into Kunena forum., (*2)
I think, it will be too specific to my personal needs, but some approaches can be used by other developers., (*3)
I'm not sure, if I will have time and passion to make it usable without any customization., (*4)
Initial info
Since I use Falang, the script also searches for Content itemn topics in FaLang database., (*5)
So if JComments are under an article "Today is my birthday", then the article title would become a Kunena category.
And each comment thread would be topic with posts., (*6)
Since I use multilanguage, I also create top Kunena categories for each language., (*7)
So English article
-> Comment of a user
-> Admin reply to it
would become a Kunena
Top level English category
-> Article title as a Category
-> Topic as the firts comment
-> Admin reply as a topic sequent post
., (*8)
JComments for non-articles
I develop the script to migrate JComments under Akeeba Release System into a Kunena-driven support forum.
So article comments for me are not so important. I hope to make the script universal to work with JComments attached
to any object., (*9)
Prerequisits
- 3.8+ Joomla with JComments and Kunena fresh forum installed.
- Multilanguage support
