B2Evo Importer

OK guys, I’ve got the latest script, and a new installation of WP, currently pointing to an otherwise empty db. I don’t have b2evo installed, but I have a restored backup of my mysql database (with 1 1/2 years of posts). Here’s where I’m stuck, there’s 4 databases in the folder! How do I know which is the right one? Horde.sql is out…that’s mail. I suppose I can just try the biggest one and see what happens. Any suggestions?

I officially have ZERO idea what’s going on with my changeover here. I’ve forgotten which version of b2e I had running, but when running this script on the most recent version of WordPress (in the b2e’s old directory, ‘/blog’) I hit submit on the first page and am routed to my site’s index page. Not only that, but it takes me to the index.php, not index.html which has frames. When I delete my index from the site I get a server 500 error, but still no matter what I try I cannot get past that index! Where on earth is the submit sending me to?

EDIT: Waitaminute… import-b2evolution-wp2.php has an error on line 193. Surely it should read

“<form method=”post” action=”import-b2evolution-wp2.php?step=1″>”?

Could that be why I’m being fed errors? Unfortunately, the faffing so far has crashed my web server so I’m not in a position to test it yet.

EDIT 2: Freaking YES, it worked. I actually debugged something, which is a first! So, um, yeah, if anyone gets a similar problem, that’s why. I reckon my transfer to my site’s index must have been because the 404 direct’s playing up.

Argh, yes, I’m sorry, that’s my fault. When dleach sent me the script to post on my site, I add “-wp2” to the filename to differentiate it from the importer for 1.x and didn’t even think about breaking the forms. Fixed now. Sorry ??

I have several problems with this script.

The first issue became with some changed fields name on the b2evo db (I solved this solved). I’m porting from b2evo 1.8.2 (the last version at this moment) to WP 2.0.4

The second trouble was with categories. This script allways creates new categories instead of checking if there is a category with the same “category_name” (not soved, yet).

The 3rd problem is: IT DOES NOT IMPORT ANY ENTRY AT ALL!!

I’m working to check what are the solutions to problems 2 and 3. As soon as I have a “working” version I’ll post it here.

Any ideas on the decoding of wp_capabilities?

Thanks!

b2evo changed its table-layout.. is somebody willing to take care of that? ??
