This one if for porting your forum to Vanilla: https://open.vanillaforums.com/addon/porter-core
Do you want to know if there is a possibility to merge a phpbb forum to an existing Vanilla forum, so that Vanilla users, discussions, etc. persist?
so, any possibility to merge a vanilla forum to an existing vanilla forum?
@mdrajask
Yes, but without further details its not really possible to help you.
What version of Vanilla forums are they?
Do they both have active databases, with users and content?
@whu606
both are 2.3 version
yes
If they both have active databases, then there will be a problem with primary keys in the databases, e.g user ids, discussions and comment ids etc. which you would need to resolve.
okay.. tell me process
@mdrajask
Not sure why you would ask someone to do that?
My answer to your initial question would probably have been better as:
Yes, if you have the requisite knowledge.
There is not, afaIk, a Vanilla plugin that does what you want.
You would need to do it via MySQL, and you would need either to read up how to do it, or pay (or persuade) someone to do it for you.
Either way, I'm not that guy.
