Hey people,
I'm co-admin of an e107 based site, and have been running up against the limitations/quirks of said cms for a number of months now, and I'd really really like to "jump ship" to XOOPS as it appears to offer a better user experience - which at the end of the day is what running a content based site is about (imho).
I've installed XOOPS and e107 on a local gentoo based box on my lan so i can play around with things before committing myself either way.
I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on converting the content (forums, archived news, chatbox posts, comments, etc) from e107 to xoops, specifically the best way to go about it.
After a recent site loss (where the hosting provider's servers were hacked and all content was lost), I'm not keen on starting from scratch again with a blank site, and as both systems store the majority of their content in an sql db - I was wondering if anyone already has, or knows of a script (perl/php perhaps) than would automate the task to a degree, or even a visual representation of each db where i can resign myself to copy and pasting if i have to!
Any thoughts and/or help greatly appreciated!!
Best Regards,
Pyrran.
