Phpfox Social Engine Migration

Phpfox Social Engine Migration
Hey guys,

I have a site with approx 3500 members running on PHPFox v2. I want to migrate to Social Engine v3.2. The PHPFox site is up and running at present at Dommesandsubs.com. I attempted to use the migration script offered at Social Engine (and attached to this post for reference) but it only imported my site members and none of the albums, groups, blogs, photos, videos, or the like. This project is to “finish” the import/migration and to troubleshoot any bugs/issues in the process. Here’s what needs done specifically:

:: Import the following from PHPFox v2 to Social Engine 3.2 ::

Blogs –> Blog
Classifieds –> Classifieds
Calendar –> Events
Photos –> Albums
Videos –> Videos
Societies –> Groups
Surveys –> Polls

And that’s about it. Will have to confirm the transfer, upload some new content, and make sure the transfer all “takes” but for someone solid with MySQL PHP this shouldn’t be terribly difficult. Additionally, if you can modify the import script to work with the hooks it already has set it may expedite things even more.

Site is on a dedicated server with root access, shell, both dBs on the same box. Forum does not need imported unless you feel the urge to do extra as I plan to install the SE plugin to use SMF and will start from scratch there unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise. PMB with questions. I have a wealth of PHP based sites and always need assistance so if you can bang this out quickly and at a reasonable rate I will likely have plenty of small odds and ends jobs like this in the future. (I do a good amount of design work and usually prefer to pay a programmer to do the work if it is something I’ll end up taking way longer to complete than contracting it out. And on the rare chance anyone has an interest in trades or barter I’m more than happy to swap design or print work for your time.)
