WordPress to NodeBB

Hawon Nguyen

@a_5mith How is the stuff going? Is it near the finish line yet?

@Hawon-Nguyen Not had time to look at it, this isn'y my full time job unfortunately. I can put what I've got up on github if someone has more time to dedicate to it.

I've hit an obstacle at getting the comments in due to their ID, but I will get to it.

Hawon Nguyen

@a_5mith Okay, Please try your best. Thanks

I've not touced the wordpress plugin for a while. You're welcome to take a look to see how if it's easily doable. The issue is the IDs of the comments start at 1, as do the IDs of the posts. But there's nothing linking the comment IDs to the topic ID. From what I could see, I've not looked at this for a while. I may look now 4.0 is out and see how it's changed. But if someone else wishes to take a look at this, I won't say no.

@a_5mith Please take a look and yes 4.0 is out. I hope you can soon make a plugin or find a way to do it because I'm like in love with NodeBB

I've upped what I've got so far so other people can take a look, I've made @bentael a collaborator on this as there's a few bits and pieces I'm not sure about. For example matching the comment to the post, as it's done in the term_taxonomy and not in with the actual data itself. So for example, comment 23 is for post 3 etc, rather than having everything together.

It's here if anyone wants to check it out (it's not done yet, there's still some SMF table names in the getPosts portion)

@a_5mith FYI - abc.com is a real website, so avoid using it as an example site

@bentael Thank you!

@a_5mith this would really help us if we could shift from wordpress to nodebb. Since wordpress is one of the most popular cms, this plugin might help a lot of people.
Any deadline for this one? Really curious to know

As an extension to the chat message you sent, this is the progress on the Wordpress Plugin.

@a_5mith @bentael really nice to hear that Just out of curiosity, how will the import preserve (or properly transfer) the images that are uploaded into wordpress media library.
