Is there a quick way to clone easydiscuss from one website to another? This would include, questions, answers, categories, users ...
Hey there,

Before migration, please ensure that you have already performed a backup of both the sites before performing any operation

Make sure that your new server site doesn't have install Easydiscuss extension.

Migrated all users from the original site into the new site. All user ids on the new site needs to be the same as the origin site

Migration Steps:
1. Open up phpMyAdmin navigate to your current site's database.

2. In phpMyAdmin, export the tables that has the prefix of #__discuss_*. Then, download the sql file and save it on your desktop.

3. If the database prefix on the new site is the same as the origin site, you may skip this step.

If the new site uses different database prefix, you will need to edit the sql file and perform a search and replace of the database prefix accordingly.

4. Open up phpMyAdmin and navigate to the new site's database.

5. Click on the Import link at the top. Browse for the sql file that was exported and click the run import button.

6. Install the latest version of EasyDiscuss on your new site

Copy over the images and medias files associated with EasyDiscuss (e.g. the /images/discuss_avatar, /images/discuss_cavatar, and the /media/com_easydiscuss/attachments).
