WordPress to NodeBB

[a_5mith]

@John-Smith Correct.

[John Smith]

@a_5mith Any thing new?

[a_5mith]

@John-Smith Having a few issues getting a dev environment set up, but will let you know as soon as I have more info. I'm still quite new to NodeBB, so, I'm picking things up as I go along.

[John Smith]

@a_5mith Ok. thanks

In fact, @bentael does your import plugin work on latest? I know you said it works up to a certain commit, but does it work beyond this?

as of 1 day ago, yes.

[bentael]

by the way, @John-Smith and @a_5mith

the importer will spit out links to create a redirect map.

see this issue for explanation: https://github.com/akhoury/nodebb-plugin-import/issues/29

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

[a_5mith]

@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

[John Smith]

@a_5mith How is it going?

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.

[Flexi Hackify]

@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

[a_5mith]

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)

[bentael]

@a_5mith niice! i won't be able to look at this for 3-4 days but will do as soon as possible.

[John Smith]

@a_5mith Finally! Thank you A_5mith
