Hi,

I have live SMF forum which have about 8500 members registered.
I have installed Oxwall on same domain. (in different directorie like sitename.com/oxwall)
After finishing edit of oxwall it will be my main social network.

But,

My main problem is how could move SMF members to oxwall databese?
Is that possible to import members informaition such as user name, password, email ext. to new oxwall databese?

thanks in advence.

rkeles, you can use this plugin: http://www.oxwall.org/store/item/718

you can import users and their basic profile information such as name, password, e-mail, gender and birthday

Well, in this case all your users will have to restore their passwords

You can make an announcement regarding this matter on your index page via custom html widget
