Import data from IPBoard 3.4 to Xenforo 2.0

[Konon]

Hi! We'd like to migrate our IPB 3.4 forum to Xenforo 2.0 in the future. I tried your demo and under the Tools tab there is a note that "XenForo importers are now installed as a separate add-on, downloadable from your Customer area." So, I'm not a client yet and I'm wondering if the ipb=>xenforo importer is available there.

You'll need to install XF 1, import data and then upgrade to XF 2.

Are there plans to support importing from IPB 3.4 to XF 2 directly in the future? Cause we're not in a hurry and can wait

Yes, importers for XF2 will be available in due course.

Would this be 'Forums' only or possibly include any of the other addons ? I am asking Download/Gallery etc . Those would reasonably well 'import' over to Resources and Media

XF 1.5 Importers also have a IPB 3.4 gallery import (but without categories ), so it's save to assume XF 2.x will have the same once it is released. Not sure about resources/download though.

I was under the impression that part of the reasoning was that R.M for XF1 did not support multiple files where-as R.M for XF2 does , I could be wrong on the reasoning I did read it somewhere possibly on TAZ if not here.

Gallery information is helpful to know though, thank you.
