PHP-Nuke 6.0/6.5 to Drupal 4.7.x/5.x migration (conversion)
8th September 2006
Post last updated: April 18, 2010.
Now there is a Drupal 6.x module available. It is in no way related to the migrate script(s) below.
The newest script version migrates from PHP-Nuke 6.5 to Drupal 5.x.
Download the latest version of the migration script.
In 2002 I set up a PHPNuke-6.0 – based portal. Eventually it died due to the lack of time investments and support from collaborators. Now, when time came to revive the project, I made a search and decided to use Drupal as a base CMS for the portal.
In order to migrate userbase from an old portal to the new Drupal-powered one, and following the topic at drupal.org, I found a script and its modification.
I used it to migrate only users, and made some cosmetic changes:
- added options for custom phpnuke table prefixes
- default user name is now = uname (login), not ‘temp_name’, as before
- I replaced hard-coded links to ‘migrate.php’ with links to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], so that if you rename the script you don’t have any problems with that
- now forum topics should not be promoted to the main page (changed 1 to 0 as hinted by Alexis)
Finally, I would like to thank both Karthik Kumar for the original script and Alexis Bellido for the 6.0_to_4.7 modification.
