Import Problem (bblog import)

hanno · Post by **hanno** » Fri May 20, 2005 8:09 am

When trying to import bblog-entries I encountered some problems:

1. After entering all information I got this message:
Starting import procedure...
Tabelle 'hanno.serendipity_authors' existiert nicht Import failed:
(which is in english "table 'hanno.serendipity_authors' doesn't exist")
now, hanno was the name of the bblog-db. So the importer tries to import into the bblog-db, not into the s9y-db. It only works if you have the bblog and s9y-tables in the same db.

2. All trackbacks were converted to comments. They should stay trackbacks after conversion, else the importer doesn't make much sense.

Yes, the first error is sadly a bug in 0.8, which has yet only been fixed in our 0.9 release.

About the trackbacks: How does bblog differ from trackbacks to comments? The importer uses this query:

Code: Select all

"SELECT * FROM {$this->data['prefix']}comments WHERE type = 'comment'

and I thought that would suffice to only get comments. I'm not familar with bblog, so I only created the importer reverse engineering the database...

You're right, the svn-snapshot fixes the first issue.

About the second, I was wrong, your query is correct, but it doesn't import trackbacks at all. Is that not supported by the importer?

I sadly did not have a testing base for importing trackbacks; so no, this is currently nto supported by the importer.

I'll have a look at it and will try to implement a patch for trackback-import.
