B2Evo Importer

  • Ok. Last chance. I’ve requested it many, many times, but so far, everyone has zoomed right by it. I was asked to send in a DB dump of my site, and nada. I’m asking for a B2 Evolution to WordPress importer. I was considering trying to go through MT, but with their changes, I’m not even sure that is a good idea. Can someone either come up with an Evo to WP importer, or a template to go from B2Evo to MT to WP? Thanks in advance.

  • Okay… given that the porting tool doesn’t seem to be supported, is there documentation somewhere that outlines what has changed between version 1.5 and the current version to facilitate modification of the porting tool?

    Also, it would seem like a good thing to make sure all of the porting tools are updated before doing a new release. Maybe it should be considered to move this particular porting tool as part of the core code base to make sure it gets updated.

    I’ve updated the script some more to more fully support WP2.0.6. Changes include:

    – correctly porting the users over (*)
    – correctly porting the posts
    – correctly porting the comments
    – optionally leaving the trackbacks behind (because of the problem with my current B2Evolution blog).

    * I’m stuck on porting the users over on how the wp_capabilities are actually used and decoded. I haven’t seen any documentation that is clear on this. Help would be appreciated as I’m not a PHP expert.

    Okay. I’ve fixed the wp_capabilities issue. I have an updated file for porting b2evolution to WP 2.0.4. Where should I put it?

    Anywhere, just post a link to it.

    I was told to submit a ticket… which I have done.

    A ticket? For what? A feature request? In the meantime, why not post your modifications so other people can make use of them? Everyone just goes through the link on the codex to my site and is disappointed to find it doesn’t work with 2.x

    Okay, I see you’re posting in three different threads about the same thing.. I think it was suggested you post a ticket with a patch attached so that you have somewhere to host your patch, so now that you’ve done it it would be helpful if we knew what ticket it was ??

    Sorry, I don’t know what the ticket is…. to be honest, I’m a bit confused/disappointed by the layout and organization of this website.

    I’ll post the file when I get home so others can use it.

    Okay. I’ve also put it into the pastecode at:

    https://pastecode.com/2902

    Keep in mind that most pastecode/pastebin sites have a limit on the amount of time the file is viable.

    An online upload/download solution would be better probably; there are various sites which allow fairly large downloads with only minor delays….

    The file is not very big… maybe the original place I pulled it down could host the changed version?

    Sure, I can do that. E-mail it to mike (at sign here) themikecam.com

    Done.

    Thanks David, it is now available at https://themikecam.com/downloads/import-b2evolution-wp2.php.txt

    I’ve updated the Codex to point there and also link to the old version for anyone with 1.x: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Importing_Content#b2evolution

    I’ve just tried it and it imported my user fine then died with SQL errors. Could this be becaue I’m on the latest (1.8.1) release of b2evo?
