Import from Flarum

[phenomlab]

Hi. Evaluating (and loving btw) NodeBB, and wondered if anyone has successfully attempted an export from A Flarum install into NodeBB ?

@phenomlab Probably.

Although precisely where documented I am unsure. Maybe a plugin? Hmmm...

Cannot speak to it, but a quick search and... geronimo... there ya' go....

@gotwf thanks. I've already reviewed this - not tried it of course, but it's designed for an early beta of Flarum (which is now beta 16), and doesn't import any users. Wondered if there was anything a little more up to date..

@phenomlab I would require something like this myself - have you managed to locate anything that works to import users?

[phenomlab]

@kaila Not yet. Still investigating.

@phenomlab Did you find a solution to this? Very intrigued in migrating.

[phenomlab]

@gurkan sadly, no. I'm going to devote a bit more time to this though over the coming weeks as I have an older Flarum forum I want to migrate posts over from. I did speak to NodeBB sales about this, but they came back with an outrageous and unrealistic figure of over USD 8k for a database that is 600kb in size 🤭
