Hey guys, we've (friends and I ) have had this forum/site, PHP, for quite some time, so we have A LOT of threads on it, and recently, we've got a new forum/site, which is ASP. I was wondering if there was a way to move the thread data from the old php to the new ASP? Thx in advanced! btw, the sites are http://hof.spikedlogic.com/forum - old http://hofgaminglclan.com/forum - new one of our programmers says it should be, but he doesnt know how.
your programmer doesn't seem to know a whole lot forum information is not stored in "PHP" or "ASP." they're stored in databases. if it's the same forum software, it should be convertable quite easily. if it's not, it'll be complicated, and I'd suggest hiring someone from scriptlance etc.
Cute. If your information was stored in something like MySQL or other SQL engines, there will be no prolems transfering it... It is better to say - no need for transferring, cause data storage is apart, like disgust said
if you're moving from one platform to another though-- say vbulletin to some-crazy-asp-board-software, the database structure will be different.
if we wanted to convert them, to ASP, is there a program we could use? To make it easier? Or does it have to be done by hand?!?
as we said, databases are not in php or asp. if you meant convert the DB for one forum package to another, there should be a tool out there made by whoever makes the forum package. vbulletin has conversion kits for phpbb, for instance.
