[Wedge 1.0] Importer

The attached version should import a wedge forum to ElkArte.. It's still based on an outdated version of OpenImporter but it should work  :-[

Good Luck and hopefully Welcome to ElkArte  :D

Hello and welcome to elkarte!
You don't need composer to migrate from wedge or other software to elkarte. 

To migrate from wedge to elkarte:
  • do a full backup of your files and database. The importer should not overwrite your files or your database but it's always better to have a backup
  • download a copy of elkarte from here and install it in a new folder of your webiste (let's say yourdomain.com/elkarte). You can use a new database, or you can install it into the same database of wedge, but use a different prefix than your wedge installation.
  • once you have an elkarte forum installed download the importer from this topic and unzip the content to a folder, let's say yourdomain.com/openimporter
  • point your web browser to yourdomain.com/openimporter and fill the requested information, than start the importer
  • enjoy elkarte! :)

take into consideration that Wedge has an internal gallery, for now there is no gallery available for elkarte.
sorry for my bad english

What he said ^^

Also the version of Open Importer (OI) here should have the latest updates and importers as well, I'd suggest starting with that version.

Thank you for your quick reply
@radu81  I tried your recommend. It is worked and I take some error about MYSQL.
What should I do?
Code: [Select]
Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of your forum cannot access the installation of %1. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the MySQL account used does not have permissions to access it.

The error MySQL gave was: 'SELECT command denied to user 'elkarte'@'localhost' for table 'wedge_members'

You need to add the database user 'elkarte' to the 'wedge' database with all privellages. It currently has none.

'Elkarte' user already in in database. but in the Wedge, it is in the Elkarte .

What control panel do you have on your web host?

The login details for the elkarte user are correct but it doesn't have the permissions on the database.

Code: [Select]
The error MySQL gave was: 'SELECT command denied to user 'elkarte'@'localhost' for table 'wedge_members'

I give root permission to 'elkarte' user and problem solved.

Importing spider hits you can ignore this, it's not important
Check on your elkarte forum if everything else was imported correctly: topics, posts, users, avatars, PM, attachments, permissions, etc

Check your log errors

You're welcome!

your avatars are not visible, check the avatar path in Admin > Forum > Attachments and avatars > Settings for avatars

or run repair settings, see here http://tools.elkarte.net/2014/12/repair_settings/
