As the development of Fireboard came to it's end, it's successor named Kunena is rising now. Some major changes:
- lots of security issues fixed
- better integration with Community Builder
- PDF Display fixed
- fixed searches
- fixed pagination
- fixed RSS in Joomla! 1.0.x w/o SEF
So here are the points you need to keep to when migrating your Fireboard data to Kunena.
- Backup your site (database and files)!
soon I will publish an tutorial on backing up your site using cPanel and MySQL Administrator. - Check which version of Fireboard you are using. If the version is previous to 1.0.5 then you need to do 3, if your version is> or = 1.0.5 then go directly to 4.
- Install com_fbconverter_v1.0.5_b162_2008-09-20.zip , and then uninstall it. It only prepares your database tables to work with newer versions of Fireboard. (DO NOT install this component if you already have Kunena installed - converting will fail)
- Uninstall Fireboard from your Joomla! administration panel. (The data about forum users, posts and upload will remain intact hidden in the database, so don’t worry)
- Install your fresh and shiny Kunena.
