SMF Migration

Hi
I'm wanting to migrate a forum from SMF into PHP Fusion.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of this or possible ideas of how to do it? Would I find someone able to do it fairly easily if I were to pay?
My own ideas were to find / write a script that'll copy the user ID's, user names and emails accross, then the post ID's, poster ID's, posted date and the post itself. I thought this would be enough to at least transfer users and posts accross then everyone can just use the forgotton password link on first login.
Would that be likely to work?
It's a bit out of my depth doing full transfer so would really appreciate any help with this..

Hi there,
Unfortunately there is no available script for converting SMF to Fusion.
Think you will either loose all your data unless you can write a script to bridge it yourself.

There is a vast difference between SMF and Php-Fusion forums. Fusion doesn't support sub categories at the moment and I think this would just be difficult overall to accomplish.

Hmm, well I've done it backwards searching forum afterwards but I've found some useful posts on converting the database to fit fusion.
Sub categories might be a problem but I'm using fusionboard4 which allows sub categories, now I'm just thinking it might cause a problem in itself that I'm not using standard forum..

fusionBoard4 is vulnerable and old. Watch out for that. Best using just PHPFusion V7.02.06 Core forums and all files. :G
