Re: Importing from Discourse to NodeBB
I too am trying to import Discourse content into NodeBB. I was able to export the Discourse content into nicely structured JSON.
I'm hoping to find a tool that would allow JSON to be imported into NodeBB.
Of course, I understand that it's too much to hope that I could directly import the JSON as-is. The Discourse JSON will almost certainly require some massaging to get it into the format needed for import in NodeBB.
So, what I'm really looking for is the technical documentation for a NodeBB JSON Import tool that I can study to understand how my Discourse JSON needs to be transformed to be compatible with the import tool.

You may be able to use the existing discourse import plugin, or you may need to write your own:

You should be able to just ignore all of the source database stuff and use that json blob instead.

I am on the same project with @jaycincotta. I tried installing and activating the importer offered in the admin interface, but have no clue as to how to invoke it.
