        <title>transfering to Joomla - how to keep posts and users?</title>
        <description> Hi all,

I&amp;#039;m expanding our community which is currently based on Phorum and want to transfer it to Joomla. 

I know it is possbile however I face to issues.

Can I also transfer the current users and their data(e-mail/username/password) to Joomla so that they will be part of the Joomla member engine? 

What about the posts that I currently have on my Phorum? I&amp;#039;m sure there m,ust be a way to keep them.

            <description><![CDATA[ If your previous forum software is phorum, the posts will remain in the phorum tables. If it was another forum software, you will have to write a converter script (base it on the upgrade script).]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ This is not a Phorum issue, but a Joomla issue. You will have to convert all your user data to the Joomla system, which should be possible of course. Maybe the Joomla people can help you with the conversion software. I have never seen a converter script for this.<br />
<br />
I understand that you want to run Phorum embedded in Joomla. It should be easy to keep all your posts in there, by just using a copy of your existing database (or even the same database). The main difference between stand alone and Joomla slave is that the embedding module is activated. So if you succeed in copying all your users over to Joomla before embedding Phorum, then it should be fine.]]></description>
