Forum

On my old Joomla 3 site I used Chronoforums, Problem is that it is not compatible with Joomla 4, so I need something else.

How do I import my old Chronoforum tables into TF-forum?

There is no direct way to import as both components have different database structure. However, you can use PHPmyAdmin to export database tables as CSV and then import to TF Forum using import tool.

There are two tables:

1. Topics which contains main forum topics.

2. Replies which contains replies to the topics linked to the id of the topic.

Ok, do you have the structure of those tables, so I can orginize the data correctly, i currently have the old forum tables in csv-format.

Chronoforums seem to use a number of tables.

table 1: forum sections

table 2: forum topics

table 3: forum posts

table 4: user profiles (dont know why, since everything is in joomla)

table 5: subscriptions 

For structure, you can also check the table in phpMyAdmin

Topics table: id, title, alias, description, published, created, created_by, modified, front, sticky, attach, last_reply, hits

Replies table: id, topic_id, topic_user, description, published, created, modified, created_by, attach
