Migrating from Postnuke to Joomla 1.5

    Hi guys,
    I'm just wondering whether you have a script that can convert the users, articles, news from a Postnuke database to Joomla 1.5.

    I have a site at http://www.ebcmelbourne.org that I need to migrate to Joomla. Obviously for maintenance reason in the long run as Postnuke is dead! (or at least soon, if not already)

    Most of the links/scripts I found on Google have no longer exist

    I converted from postnuke to an earlier version of Joomla with this site: http://www.transdniestria.com about a year ago. I think I had to mess around a bit but got there in the end. You could probablt convert it to Joomla 1.1x then upgrade that to 1.5 or something with the old script I used, I think it's called eznuke or something? I will still have it on disk somewhere, I can have a look when I get home if you like?

    Hi Astroman,
    Yeah I got eznuke from Google search earlier, but all links apparently are dead...

    If you can share the script, it'll be great!

    Okay I uploaded it to my site here: http://www.dldatabase.com/downloads/joomla-components/index.html

    I can't remember exactly what I did to get it to work for postnuke, I may have converted postnuke to phpnuke first in a different location, then used this script?

    I don't know if this will help but for some reason I altered the above version of admin.ezphpnuke.php:

    I changed this:
    dbexec("update {$pm}users, {$pn}authors set gid=$author_group_id where username = aid");
    Code (markup):
    to this:

    dbexec("update {$pm}users, {$pn}authors set gid=$author_group_id where username = informant");
    Code (markup):
    Just the informant bit on the end.

    Though it was well over a year ago so I haven't a clue why I did that now. :)

    hey Thanks, astroman!

    Any possible solutions will do rather than copy-pasting my hundreds of articles/posts to Joomla :D
