Hi there,
there are some scripts, that will help you to migrate data (articles, files, images, users) from ezP2 to ezP3.
I'd like to read about experiences with these scripts. Where do they work, where not?
We have 5000 users, >1500 articles and >1000 files to migrate, some articles having HTML in them... How are my chances? ;)

In particular:
1. I don't have command-line PHP (just apache module). Can I run the scripts through my browser?
2. What about the HTML? I didn't understand the readme instructions... something about fixing a template???
3. What about forums? I read in a posting, that forums can be migrated, but the readme does not mention this (and there is no PHP for that).

Hi,

Generally, 5000 users and 1500 articles can be migrated, but of course it need some running time ( a few minutes, I guess ).

Some of your perticular questions were answered below.

2. What about the HTML? I didn't understand the readme instructions... something about fixing a template???

NO problem for html from 2.2 to 3.x. As I described in "readme", tag <html> in 2.2 will be converted to <literal class="html">. Read http://www.ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/setup_design/31_stable_online_editor_what_is_it_possible_to_do_/re_31_stable_online_editor_what_is_it_possible_to_do___4 to know how to make literal content shows as html in 3.x.

3. What about forums? I read in a posting, that forums can be migrated, but the readme does not mention this (and there is no PHP for that).
Forum script will be released later, I think "readme" does mention this.
