Import Haloscan comments

I’m guessing the answer is “no” based on the searches I did tonight.

yeah this is the first request of its kind. someone might pick this up considering lot of people use it on blogger…

My blog is only a month old, and 100 comments or so. I could probably do this manually with cut-n-paste – do I have to login as each user to do this?

easy: replace ‘name’ with:
'<?php the_ID() ?> '
or
'<?php the_title() ?>'



');" target="_self"><script type="text/javascript">postCount('<?php the_ID() ?>');</script>


');" target="_self"><script type="text/javascript">postCount('<?php the_ID() ?>');</script>
that’s what you want.

it’s not working here very well.

a href="javascript:HaloScan('<?php the_ID() ?>');" target="_self"><script type="text/javascript">postCount('<?php the_ID() ?>');</script>


I don’t follow.
Replace what ‘name’? Where is this code supposed to go? From my novice php eyes, I can’t figure out what this blurb is supposed to do or when it’s supposed to be run.

OK I have got the haloscan import working fine. Currently its a mix of a perl script and a few sql statments. I will try to package it in a PHP page and then post a link here.

Please try out the code and let me know if it works. I have tested it out on my side.

Umm, is there a way to import haloscan comments, into wordpress, if I already have transfered over my entries?
I have like 100+ that I tranfered over to wordpress, before I knew about being able to import the haloscan comments … is it still possible to do?
someone email me at submodalities at gmail dot com

I’ve written a script that imports Haloscan comments (CAIF format) into WordPress (assuming you also just imported a Blogger blog with one minor revision to the import process).
