Yes, it is possible. First thing: passwords and/or e-mail addresses are encrypted in the Snitz DB so you'll need to encrypt them as you insert.
The rest should be fairly simple. Setup a message board with the categories that you want that are comparable, or exact, to the categories on your old message board. Then make a test post so that you can see what an entry in the database looks like (actually, there will be one there already). Then compare this with your entries. In your old database, before you import, you need to format the table so that it looks exactly like the Snitz table, which may mean adding fields or removing some (don't expect to convert everything - but Snitz will at least get the essentials). And they need to have the same type of formatting (i.e., number, text).
Then after you import, do this with your member table.
Then, create queries to replace member and category IDs (maybe a couple of others) because these are generated as autonumbers in the Snitz tables.
If this doesn't make sense, it will be very difficult for you, but not impossible. Have a lot of patience. |
